I use the old android email app because I don't like any other email app. I've gotten it going on my new phone but I can't remember how I was able to change the default sending address on a new email when in the combined view. I pretty much only send work related emails and need them to go out on my work address. When in combined view and I hit new email it defaults to my gmail address. I have to click and choose my work address. I was able to change it on my last phone but I don't remember how I did it. Anyone remember how to change it?
It likely won't be useful to anyone else but I figured out how I changed it before. Well actually you can't change it. You have to enter your accounts in the order you want them to be in. I removed and reinstalled the app making sure to add my work email first. Now in the combined view a new message comes up with my work email address in it already. Thanks qqq1, you're the best.

I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I'm using my X10's Gmail client for all my emails, but one problem which I have is that when I receive email, the name of the sender is not displayed, only the email address. This means having to memorise people's email addresses in order to determine who sent it exactly.
I know definitely that I have names in my address book, when I go to compose the name is there perfectly. But it doesn't show up on received mail. Any way to fix this? This is for ALL of my email, not just a few.
Thanks for any help.

Strange, works fine for me in that it does display the name and can't find any settings to change it so it doesn't.

Thanks for your attempt anyway. Its a really strange issue, I swear it used to work before.
I just noticed that I'm facing the same issue on my desktop Gmail too... Perhaps I've set something wrong with desktop Gmail?
EDIT: Actually I just realised: http://ask.metafilter.com/140633/Can-I-change-a-senders-display-name-in-Gmail
It looks like Gmail doesn't cross-reference back to contacts. That's terrible in my opinion, as I'm using my phone here in Japan, where everyone has incomprehensible emails, and they don't change their "From:" tag, making things a real pain.
Ok guys, I have looked far and low for this answer and tried numerous apps to see if that was the answer but they all give me the same result...
In any email client I use with my Dell Streak, I have to manually add the email of the person I want to send it to in the "To" bar... I can't believe I have to do that.
Is there not an app or some setting that I am missing to where I can pull up the contacts' info and automatically insert into the "To" field instead of having to manually type that person's email.
I know I can go to the contact in my contact list and select to send that address an email or an SMS or whatever I want to do, but what if I want to compose an email and send it to several people, I have to manually enter each address...
Please tell me there is a work around or something that I am missing guys and not doing correctly...
Thanks for all your help in advance!
The stock DELL mail widget does all this. You start typing the contact in the compose mail screen and their email pops up, select it and it stays in the TO: bar followed by a comma and you can continue adding recipients.
Thanks for the reply eSZee.
Yes I know that the stock android email and/or gmail client is supposed to do this, I have an HTC Inspire 4G that does it just fine after a couple of letters are typed in, but my Streak doesn't do it at all, that's what has me stumped and there's no one close to me for me to compare with, that's why I finally broke down and posted.
I'm running Streakdown 1.9, 318 BB if it matters. Been like that since. I haven't used the stock froyo except to bring my Streak back from a bricked state, and I really don't wanna have to go through the trouble of using the QDL to get back to stock froyo and then have to go through the trouble of flashing the streakmod again, but it may be my only alternative....
But if there's not a setting for this it may just be what I have to do if no other solution arises
hi there!
I know this is my first post, but im from germany and there was no solution on the german forums out there for this.
My problem:
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with Honeycomb 3.1 and the new Touchwiz from Samsung. All works quite fine.
And i like the Email App from Touchwiz very much, but why the hell does it not store any Emails on the device, when they are sent from the device?
So i have a couple of IMAP-Email-Accounts configured and they work fine, but when i sent an email from the device, it wount get stored in any of those "Outbox"-folders or "SENT"-Folders...
Is it just me haveing this wrong configured or is ist a bug?
Small hint, the IMAP-Email-Accounts are not google-mail-accounts.
The Samsung Email-Client seems to store the sent items in a different local folder but i cant reach it and dont know his name....
EDIT:
Maybe its enoug if some one with an rooted device and touchwiz ux could tell me, in witch folders the sent emails are stored local if it is not a google-mail-account...
same problem here... thought it was just me.
same for me also!! Frustrating that they not can make the basic function working.
And if some one could tell me, where to report this issue back at samsung, i would report this bug or problem. But after searching for hours i still cant get the right support for touchwiz ux problems...
Still having this frustrating problem...can someone share a info, how to conntact the dev-team of touchwiz-ux?
Is there anyone else having the same problem with sent items in your touchwiz-email-app?
I have the same issue and haven't found a solution yet.
This may be helpful to some of you. I noticed that after the recent software upgrade, my incoming server setting had been reset from pop3 (my preference) to android.imap.mail.yahoo.com and my outgoing to android.smtp.mail.yahoo.com. I created a new account, set as the default, using my original pop3 setting for incoming (pop.mail.yahoo.com) and removing the "android" prefix from the outgoing, and choosing the "never delete email from server" option. Once this was done, I deleted the account that used imap.
Everything seems to be working fine now, including the sent folder, and I'm also now retaining all original received emails on the server (which is key for me -- I synch three different devices). The only concern I have left is why the update defaulted to imap over pop3 and whether I may be overriding some features or functionality inadvertently by changing those settings.
My problem is that the default email app doesn't sent the emails with the same extension, meaning that any of my co workers that has the same @XYZ.com and even to myself the app doesn't send it.
Any advise on how to solve this out, or suggestion on other email app that looks as clean as the default? I have try the k9 and other like it but I do like the two windows format to see the emails.
thanks in advance
Overall, I really like Kaiten and K9 email clients. However, the following issues are really annoying and would like some help if possible.
1. If I scroll down to the middle of my inbox to read a few messages
then switch to a different app; when I switch back to K9/Kaiten, the inbox automatically scrolls back to the top. Therefore, I lose my place EVERY TIME and have to remember how far down I was in the inbox. Any fix for this?
2. When reading an email in Kaiten, is it possible to make the LEFT navigational arrow bring up the next NEWEST email (going UP in the inbox) instead of the next oldest (down) email? (This works perfectly in K9)
3. When reading an email, if I switch to another app then return to the email, none of the navigational buttons work (ie. the arrows or volume buttons) to allow me to move on to another email. I must hit the back arrow to get to the email list which of course automatically scrolls all the way back to the top of my inbox and loses my place. ARGH!!!! (see #1)
4. Is it possible to change the font color in the signature and when
composing new emails?
5. Is it possible to change the font type (ie. Times New Roman,
Courier, etc.) in the signature and when composing new emails?
Is there another IMAP client out there that does NOT have these issues? In addition to K9 and Kaiten, I've tried Enhanced Mail, Touchdown, MailDroid, Moxier Mail, and the stock app of course. They all seem to have various issues. Maybe I'm expecting too much out of an app. The stock email app on my Palm Pre worked well for me!
Same, I can't find a good replacement with everything I need, The old wm6.5 email client was perfect for me.

I agree with the email limitations of Android apps and couldn't figure out how to do some of these either. Only thing I know of for issue #1 would be to star the email before going out so can easily find it again. Not a solution though I know.
If you haven't done it already, send a request to the app developers to add the features. Especially with #1 & #2 in your list. These would be good to have.
Yeah, I'm with you -- no Android e-mail client seems perfect. Of the ones I've tried, I ended up with Enhanced E-Mail (for IMAP) and the stock client (for Exchange).

I just learned that Enhanced Email also supports Exchange. This is the app that is working best for me right now.
Enhanced Email is by far the best email app, and much better than the built in app. It is however 10 bucks and that is a drawback, but it is worth twice that amount. The one thing to note is that Google changed what was available to third party email clients when it comes to contacts. That can be fixed with Contact Editor app.
I will give enhanced email a try. I've also been looking into a new mail client for Android.
I normally use touchdown, but it can be unwieldy (and the UI is all kinds of suck).
I've been using the Enhanced Email Trial for almost a week and I think I'm falling in love. Will probably purchase it soon...
I have multiple email accounts that I read on my Note2. I prefer to sort them with unread emails on the top. When using the combined view I have to manually change the sort order. It will remember that until I click a notification to read an email. When I go back to the combined view I have to reset the sort order. Is there a control file I can edit to make "sort by read/unread" my default always?
Thanks,
Dave
