Best non-stock email app - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers

What email app do you guys use thats not the stock Mate 20 pro?
I am having problems linking my corporate exchange email account where it doesnt push emails to the phone at all but google and hotmail works (also not push but works every 5 minutes interval).
thoughts?

You are using exchange and never thought about Outlook?

Hola
Nine client is the absolute standard for professionals.

I like Boxer. It's been getting some bad reviews lately but it does what I need.

Newton (it's back!)
I really hope their business model works this time as there is nothing on android that comes close for me.
While it was away I was using the BB hub, not bad at all.

K9-mail has been one of the first mail app.
The most complete for functionality and customization.
And best of all, it's completely free and open source.
I've been using it for about 10 years, currently 10 mailboxes configured.

Yahoo mail pretty good even with Gmail and outlook and exchange

Does this do PUSH EMAIL?

I've been using Aquamail for years because I like the extensive customization options. I periodically try different email programs but so far I have always ended up going back to Aquamail.
There was a problem for a while where Aquamail didn't play nice with Yahoo Mail because Yahoo didn't like the security standards Aquamail was using but Aquamail updated its app to comply with stricter security standards so that's been resolved.
I can't stand Yahoo's app which is terrible at displaying the content of emails--they end up being too large, too small or the text and images get arranged and spaced oddly.
Gmail has gotten better even though it has very few options for user customization but the lack of a dark mode turns me off--to me that app is way too white and ugly.

I haven't used Blue recently but what I didn't like about it at the time was that I couldn't load all of my unread emails at once. It would load a small number which I read then I needed to click load more which would load a small number again. I contacted the dev because I found that whole process needlessly tedious and it's possible Blue doesn't work like that anymore. Sometimes I also ended up with a batch of unread messages because Blue didn't load everything.
There was also an email app called Type that appeared to be exacly the same as Blue except for the app name and color. Not sure what the point of offering the exact same app under 2 different names was.

Another vote for Nine mail.. I think it's the best email for professionals

I’ve been on Nine for many, many years. Just got a M20 Pro today and I can’t get Nine to work. It basically never completes the initial handshake with O365. Anyone else seen this? I really can’t imagine using something else other than Nine!!!
Edit: resolved by doing manual config, and selecting Exchange rather than O365 as the server type. Problem solved.

Nine email is the best... Worth the money

[Q] Kaiten Mail = Tablet version of K-9 Mail - Anybody tried it?

Kaiten Mail = Tablet version of K-9 Mail - Anybody tried it?
http://www.amazon.com/K-9-Dog-Walkers-Kaiten-Mail/dp/B004UBB1G2
From Amazon Market:
Product Description
Kaiten Mail is an advanced email client for Android. Building on the excellent open-source base provided by K-9 Mail, Kaiten offers a fresh user interface re-imagined for tablets and high-resolution phones.
Built by K-9's original developer, Kaiten is simpler, easier to work with and a whole lot prettier. Frequently used commands are now available in the application's action bar. If you have the screen real-estate, Kaiten's split-screen view lets you see a mailbox and individual messages side-by-side.

this is exactly what ive been looking for! thanks for this!
Just bought it... so far, so good. I have not tested it with Exchange yet (I never could get K-9 working on our exchange server.)
Otherwise, the email preview pane is a good fit for the Nook (CM7) and even gives it a bit of an Outlook feel.
Until either Kaiten or K9 support Exchange 2010, these are a no go.

Yeah, I went ahead and got it. Better email client than the stock CM7 email, nice tablet layout and does push all for $5. Hopefully they will get true Exchange support in the near future so that I can use one email app for all my needs that is in tablet form (using Touchdown right now - Great app, wish they'd add imap support).
Ceger
Good find...much nicer than either the stock email/gmail clients. Having the split-pane is what I liked about the email client in Honeycomb, which was lost once I went to CM7. Working well for me thus far (esp like option for a "Dark" theme) and not a bad price for $5.
Thanks for the input. I have been using K-9 for over a year now. Happy to support them with $5 and it certainly is worth it on the NC.
Purchased and installed. Similar to K-9 in settings and setup. Working great for my accounts. Much better interface with split pane, especially in landscape.
I like it!
I love k9 email on my NC but it is not truly a 100% offline email app (wont cache images). I get a lot of deal emails and only have time to read them on my lenghty bus ride to work.
To do this now. I have to tether to my evo which is extremely slow and wastes most of my time I feel. I'm barely using any of my emmc space and this would be an excellent use of this.
Will this cache images in HTML emails? Would this be a difficult feature to implement? (would make it in my interest to buy the app and see if the developer could add that as an option)
Thanks guys, I'm mainly looking to make my nook more offline friendly so I don't have to rely on slow tether/mobiles data speeds.

Are you sure it's by the folks who do K9 right now, or just one of the guys who used to work on it? I'm reading it as if it's one of the folks who used to work on it, ie: You're not supporting the free K9. But not that it's a big deal either way.. I might ask them about it, I hang in their channel all day anyway

Using that for Exchange and Kaiten for Gmail. Like having tablet style software, but would prefer to run one email app with the tablet layout features.
Ceger
bought it form Amazon figured with all the free daily apps, I owed them.
Seems to work well. Not sure I understand the polling/exchange setup well. I have exchange setup and there is mail in my inbox.
Is it in fact doing push? or must I manually check mail compared to touchdown which only does exchange but does push
Following up on Kaiten Mail, yes indeed, this is a commercial branch of K9 and will at some point in the future be maintained as parallel branches. I can only assume at this point that K9 and Kaiten will retain the same functionality and Kaiten will get additional work on top of that for GUI and usability.
IMO K9 is just fine as-is, it's not flashy but it doesn't have to be. That said, Kaiten does look nice on my tablet. A few bugs to work out in it (hello splitters, stay where I put you!) but otherwise it looks really nice.
Hey gang,
I'm responsible for Kaiten and indeed was also responsible for K-9 coming into existence.
To the poster who asked, no, I'm not a former K-9 developer - I'm still the project dictator
I initially branched Kaiten from K-9 as part of a project I was doing for an OEM who wanted a "commercial" tablet-style mail client for their Froyo tablets. I can't say for sure when Kaiten's features will make their way back into K-9, but they will. If you're particularly desperate to play around, the current version of the Kaiten code (without the branding and under the same Apache2 license as K-9) is in K-9's git repository in a topic branch somewhere under experimental/

HTML in Stock Email application?

Here is a little background. I switched from iPhone 4S to Galaxy S3. Apart from the learning curve (I expected that) everything is going well except for a few annoyances. The one that is driving me nuts is the Email. Again I am new to Android so may be there are setting I have no idea exists.
I have three Email account setup, Hotmail, Gmail and Corporate Exchange Server. By default when I receive the Email it's in text with zero HTML formatting. I checked show images in the options with no luck. I do realize the biggest appeal for android is the endless options and customization
( trust me I know I am windows guy) but something as basic as Email should be set to work just out of the box especially on a smartphone of this caliber. Anyways would greatly appreciate any feedback regarding how to solve this issue. Thanks in advance.
The gmail app works fine.
I'm having the same problem as you do with the other email app that does exchange. You have to go to the bottom of the email and tap on the "Load more details" box and the mail then gets HTML formatted.
Although some HTML emails come up immediately.
I may have to use an alternate client. The best one supposedly is Touchdown but that's $20!!!

Thanks for the tip. The thing that really annoys me is that html is the most basic expectation from an email client. I am just so surprised that you have to go and select the option e every time. I know there are other email clients available but customizable doesn't mean you end up downloading and paying for something that's so basic. I am hoping someone has an easy solution.

Thats the thing, they are HTML Emails but refuse to load as such. If I go all the way at the bottom (which is a pain in itself) and click load more details they show up as they are supposed to be in full HTML.

where exactly is the view mode standard. I have everything just like you but can't find the view mode standard option.
Just checked and the standard option is checked. No luck still. Both my personal and work emails use exchange servers. I am starting to think if the email app is dependant on that may be?
It is definitely possible that any type of encryption will not let you view html format. Mine is not encrypted.

I have the same problem with stock email not presenting html as hyperlinks. What I found was that some hyperlinks load properly, others do not. I found that html fails to properly present as a hyperlink, if there is a period after the html. If I forward an email to myself, the html does not render properly in the forwarded message. However, if I remove the period after the html, the hyperlink is rendered properly. I wouldn't expect a bug like this on a mature high-end product. It really undermines the usefulness of the email app.

That's a very interesting observation. If that's the issue I am hoping it will be fixed soon (like weeks not months or quarters). But I am not going to hold my breath. I completely agree with you, having such an idiotic issue crop up in the stock Email application is unacceptable when Samsung is marketing this phone as their flagship device. Moving from an Iphone 4S I still think the S3 is a very good device but issues like these just puts dent in the image real fast.
Business users are not going to be happy when HTML messages from their corporate exchange servers don't render properly.

[Q] Can someone help me find an email client with these basic features please?

I've been on Android about 6 months now. First I had a Galaxy Note & now I have a Galaxy Note 2. In that time I've tried around 30 email clients (some free & some paid versions) but I've still not some across a client that can offer me some (what I consider) very simple features.
What I'd like the client to do is:
1. Be able to resize within the email view so I can see the whole email (or at least the width of it if the mail is longer than one page length). This is such a simple thing but the only one I've found that does this is the official Hotmail client but that brings with it a whole load of other issues... Even the Gmail client doesn't let you do this & you're forced to scroll around the screen trying to put together a virtual jigsaw puzzle in your head of what the whole email should look like.
2. Be able to set an option in the settings to always allow images. Again a simple feature. Something similar to the Gmail app would also be OK where you set it for each sender separately.
3. Always display as HTML.
4. Push notifications that display the message title/sender in the notification.
Hopefully someone knows of such a client but I haven't found one yet.
Thanks for your help people.

Thanks. I downloaded Enhanced Email from the play store. It does most of the stuff but doesn't let you know the source or title of the incoming mail. Just tells you that you have new mail.
Also having some problems with formatting emails in mobile view.
It's probably the best I've tried though.
You probably won't find an email client that tells you the sender and title because usually people receive multiple emails at a time from various senders.
And try K 9 mail
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium
Having used enhanced email for a few days I can say that it's definitely not up to use full time. When ever I reboot my phone it deletes my Hotmail account, it doesn't notify properly, has no push for Gmail, can't format html into mobile view effectively & has a poor gui. Very expensive for why it does.
I have tried K9 before & unless it's been updated recently there isn't an option to resize an email so that the while mail is displayed at once is there?

Yes, you can pinch to zoom but I'd like to display the whole email on screen at once & then decide which part of the email I'd like to zoom into (if any). K9 & most other Android clients don't allow this. The only app that I've found that can do this at all is the official Hotmail app but the rest of the app is so basic its shocking. It doesn't allow you to always show images & on my current phone its a 3 click process to show images (in every mail you view). It also truncates all mails to a maximum of 100kb do anything over this takes a further 3 clicks to display properly. Very poor.
Try Aquamail. I absolutely love it, and it has all these features. Their mobile view is the main reason I use it. Make sure you pick up the latest beta version 4 here: www.aqua-mail.com/?page_id=217
The mobile view used to be incorporated into the appstore version. The developer took it out temporarily, and it is only in the latest beta.

[Q] Email Question?

For the HTC Email stock JB 4.1 app, on some emails with web links in the body of the email the email app doesn't give hyperlink. I have to copy it then open a web broswer, then paste, etc. Also, say i get a package confirmation email with a tracking number. On my iPhone the tracking number was a link directly to UPS and my package so i can just tap that tracking number, web browser opens and shows tracking status. Again HTC mail app fails here and have to copy tracking number, open web browser, to to ups.com, paste tracking number, etc to do the same thing. Is the HTC stock email app just not that smart for such simple requests/features that i would think would be standard by now?
The reason why i use the stock email is because i have both yahoo and gmail accounts so this email app groups them into one inbox so it's easy to read having this one app in the dock. If i didn't use the HTC email app then i would have to put both yahoo app and gmail app in the dock wasting a spot since the dock only allows 4 apps.
Anyone know a way around this or maybe a better email app that can group several accounts into 1 inbox like the HTC email app and offer hyperlinks to all web addresses included in the email body? Maybe asking for a tracking number hyperlink is too much with this device, lol? Thanks
I think you can blame Apple for that. Lots out there about it.

Blame Apple for spoiling me with their email app. Wish this HTC one had more features or could find one that does :/
Didn't know there were links problem with HTC stock mail app, but, i've also notified that this app is not as smooth as it looks since you can't choice push synchronization, you have to choice a period of time or the smartsync (wich works like a ****)
I'd prefer to use HTC mail app than Gmail app, since htc looks better, but well... gmail default's app works much better.
Maybe you can try other mail apps like K-9, for example
I have never had this issue with HTC's mail app.
On my old phone, I would use Enhanced Email. This is a very nice paid email app that can deal with the security that some exchange serves have.
I poked around in my settings looking for something that might cause your problem, but I couldn't find anything. If no one here suggests something useful, try stopping in the ATT store and having them look at it, or call 911 and explain the problem there.
Having played with my girl friends iPhone from time to time, I have always found the Android to be a bit better.
Also, afaik, the only way you get true push mail is with an MS exchange account, or using a Blackberry.

HTC email app provides the best features. Try to sync reply status on the iPhone, or try to set out of office with any exchange email client. Push is no longer a problem since the original HTC One X issues. Also, the productivity lockscreen (which is the only reason I have a HTC phone other than any other android phone) only works with the stock email app. I used EE for push while HTC fixed their issues, but I couldn't see my messages without unlocking my phone and I hate to go through putting in my unlock code to realize it was just the latest junk email. I have found that the stock app has more features than EE especially with an exchange server. (Except for bypassing security, which is not a good idea anyway.)

I'm actually using a Droid DNA on Verizon, but I found this thread while searching for an answer to this same question. I came from an HTC Thunderbolt and the hyperlinks in emails worked perfectly. I'm trying to find out what changed to remove that feature!

Blame Apple for spoiling me with their email app. Wish this HTC one had more features or could find one that does :/

Well they sue everyone under the sun. I'm shocked they haven't sued anyone for having a store with 4 walls.
The patents in question include: (1) the ability to unlock the phone by sliding an image; (2) the ability to search for information via voice commands; (3) making use of data as hyperlinks; and (4) searching across multiple sources to find information. Apple argues that all of these features are ones that customers expect from Apple products. In other words, they are unique to Apple products.

Stock Email App Notifications Problem

I have a new T-Mobile Galaxy S5. I'm using the stock email app with my organizations Exchange messaging system. My particular account has multiple folders with rules that route messages depending on the sender, pretty common for business users.
The problem is that when I receive two or more emails to any folder other than inbox the notification displays the wrong message. For example, if I get a couple of new emails to a folder called VIP the notification will indicate two new messages, so far so good. However, when I take a closer look the messages indicated are actually the newest from my inbox which could be hours or days old rather than the correct one just received in the VIP folder. It only happens when there are multiple notifications pending for a single account and only within the context of the notifications. If I go to the email app itself everything is where it should be.
Unless I'm missing something this is a huge flaw and I can't imagine how this could have escaped testing. I would very much appreciate if anybody could please advise.
Thank you
Kevin
Given that the problem is the type of notification, it's just as likely caused by the remote Exchange server as the email app. If you did a forum search to see if others are seeing the same problem, it would be a lot easier to discern a pattern.
If you want to expedite fixing (a possible) email bug, take the time to describe it well in a post to the Android /Google bug list. Or more expediently, try using a third party Exchange compatible mail app and see if that resolves the issue.

I thought about the backend too but after so many years of using various phones and email clients with Exchange it seemed to me like it was the device. Sure enough, Nine, Touchdown and Mail Wise all work perfectly. Therefore, it’s likely an issue with the stock email app and an obscure one at that. I will pursue reporting the problem as you suggested and take up the matter with T-Mobile too. Searches on XDA and the internet turned up nothing but that could just be me missing something.
Thanks

I'm not sure that complaining to TMobile will do much. But Google does take the Android bug list seriously. It sounds like you have a good handle on the issue now. Well done.
