Got my note 10 today - really like it so far. Size seems just right for me.
I was mildly surprised that it came preloaded with Outlook instead of the Samsung email and calendar apps. I'm guessing this is the new Samsung/Microsoft partnership in action.
I haven't used android Outlook for a couple years - it used to be a big battery suck, and I also wish I could do dark mode with it as I did with the Samsung email app. Will give it a try for a while and see how it goes.
What does everyone else think?

I just use Samsung Email on my Note 10 as I did with my Galaxy S10e
Yeah, I may go back to it. I prefer dark mode, which isn't an option on Outlook.

I have syncd with exchange ("corporate') but the thumbnail pictures have not syncd. anyone know why / have or have not got a similar issue?
Same here. Syncing to Exchange 2010, but I get none of my contact photos.

I'm using Touchdown, no issues with pictures downloading for contacts from Exchange... Must be a native Exchange client issue.

i'm having the same problem with contact thumbnails from my Exchange contacts as well. no issues with my other Android devices, only the Atrix4G. it must be a MotoBlah issue...
Ditto and very disappointing.

this is not a solution for the contact pic sync issue, it's more an option. i stumbled across an app called Enhanced Email 1.16.2 that allows you to sync multiple exchange accounts, integrates into the stock calendar and contacts apps and it also synced my contact pics as well. the app also uses the volume key to increase/decrease font size in the emails. i had to shell out $10 bucks, but that investment is making my Atrix experience a little better and the contact pic sync issue is behind me. other features of the email app i like: it gives you the option to use the Exchange Pin. i said no and am using pattern lock instead.
EDIT: i did notice a (minor to me) bug; not all of my contacts birthdays were synced.

Fantastic tip. It was well worth the $10. It's kind of ironic my old hacked up HTC HD2 with WinMo wiped and Android running off the SD card had better email than the Atrix.
I'm looking forward to an update that improves email and fixes the slow internet speeds.

yep. knew this as well. 2 things i miss with the stock email app (compared to the HTC Sense email app) is the ability to increase font size in email and the "hack" to disable the Exchange Pin requirements. and then there's the picture issue.

I am having problems with the pictures not syncing too. We are also on Exchange 2010. Is everyone else using 2010, or are all versions of Exchange having problems. I only ask because when I decided to check the Motoblur info it only mentioned supporting Exchange 2003 and 2007, which I thought was odd.
This is also my first Motorola (in a long while), but after doing some quick research via Google, I see a lot of people complaining about the same thing from as much as a year ago on other Moto phones. Despite being nice hardware, I'm really irritated with the Motorola "experience" after coming off of my Captivate on Cognition.

No, the problem of contact pictures not being synchronized affects Motoblur talking to Exchange 2007 servers (like mine) as well.
I heartily second the disappointment in the email. For Exchange users Motoblur is a FAR WORSE experience than directly syncing with Android's built in utilities. I really miss the email on my Captivate... but that is the only thing I miss.

You miss Exchange on Captivate? - I can't imagine why -
I couldn't see my read messages, I couldn't edit appointments i created, I could not mark messages as read in bulk. Worst of all was the lag - even with Voodoo lagfix if i attempted to delete 5 messages it took forever. No GAL access or it was for email address only. No subfolder sync support either. So the Atrix is missing picture sync, that i can deal with. I can't search the server, but again, a minor issue for me.

From the reading that I did a few weeks back, it's a long-standing issue with the MotoBlur Exchange synchronization. HTC's Exchange synchronization does contact pictures, Motorola's doesn't.
We are using Exchange 2008 and my contact pictures also do not sync. This is a Huge thing for me.
Updated to 87, but no change in this feature. I was hoping this was a small thing that would be included when moving to 2.2.2. Looks like have to hold out hope until 2.3....
so I downloaded ENHANCED EMAIL, which IMHO has a better email handling program , but uses all the other stock programs for Contacts, Diary etc. it DOES SYNC pictures!
You need to remove your blur exchange account otherewise you get duplicates.
Enhanced email is easier to read, faster and just better IMHO
Hello, the Atrix has just been released in France and I'm fcacing the same problems : not possible to sync in Motoblur my contacts and Pictures of contacts.
Another big trouble, I'm not able to sort the contacts by Last Name/First Name : only First Name/Last Name.
It's a pitty as many other smartphones propose that (Samsung Galaxy S2,...)

I also have got the picture issue. it's very annyoing!
we're using exchange server 2010
about last name / first name: i've been looking around forums but it seems to be not possible with this version of motoblur. i installed go contacts which can sort contacts by last name.
Since the Touchwiz update, my two IMAP email accounts refuse to delete emails on the server. The messages appear deleted, but on refresh they reappear.
The pre-touch-wiz email client worked fine.
Anyone else experiencing this? Know of a fix?

Had the same problem with the stock email client on my Charge. Wound up going with K-9 on the phone and stuck with that on the GTab as well; never even thought to try the stock email. Last time I checked for the Charge there wasn't a fix; be interested in finding out if there is one for the GTab.

I tried K-9, and while there are some things it does well, the flaws outweigh the strengths. In addition to my two IMAP accounts, I have an Exchange account from my day job that I need to monitor. K-9 doesn't do exchange well at all. The K-9interface is optimized for small (phone) screens, not tablets. I wanted it to work for me, but it doesn't.
I like the interface on the TW email client. I just can't believe such a basic flaw as not deleting mail on the server got past the developers--and I'm surprised it isn't causing more uproar.
This is really sad. The GTab 10.1 is the first Android tablet with the potential to take on the iPad, but it won't evenpass the giggle test with bugs like this. AAAARGH!

Agreed that k9 isn't the greatest. Also that the issue with the stock client is beyond ridiculous. I looked into Touchdown, but didn't go with it (can't remember why). That one is supposed to have great Exchange support; not sure about IMAP though.

Touchwiz IMAP issue--update
To recap the problem: After the recent TouchWiz update, the native email client no longer deletes IMAP email on the server. Email appears to delete, but on refresh reappears.
I tried Samsung's twitter support yesterday, looking for answers on this problem. I finally received an honest but not terribly helpful response:
"I've tested this on our Tab here and it does that too. Unfortunately there' s no way to change that. I believe it depends on which email client you have."
I reminded her that there's only one email client on the stock GT10.1, the update broke it, and she just confirmed it as a bonifide issue. Response:
"I have reported this to our product specialists. Unfortunately, I don't have any info pertaining to a fix, I apologize."
When I asked if there was anyone I could expedite this with, she suggested I try the Android market and use a different email client. I'd do that cheerfully if there were an email app in the market that's optimized for tablet interface instead of phone screens.
Overall, not a satisfying experience. I understand that the support tweeps can only do so much, but it didn't leave me confident that anything will change in the reasonable future.
<rant>
I hate to say it, but it left me almost wishing I'd bought an iPad. As much as I hate the Apple agenda of controlling the world and thinking on behalf of the mindless drones it controls, at least the (employer-owned) iPhone I have does email reliably and can connect me to my Juniper remote access VPN. At this point, the GT 10.1 can't do either for me.

I had the same problem and removing the application data (Settings->Applications-> go to the gmail app) fixed the problem for me for now.
The app will have to re-sync all the emails after but now it deletes and marks messages as read correctly.

One of the first things I tried. Didn't work for me--but then again, I didn't try it with gmail, only with the two IMAP accounts I use daily.
I finally broke down, rooted the thing, and flashed it with the original release ROM. All working fine. The only thing I lost was some of Samsung's crapware and of course the less-than-impressive TouchWiz interface. Not a huge loss, IMO.
Lesson learned: Beware of manufacturers bearing gifts and upgrades.

Alternative email account support is coming in a few weeks, it's just a very labor intensive exercise
I have the same problem. For e-mail (inbox) is either "invalid account" or "-1".
Mobile: Samsung Galaxy Note II
Android 4.3
ROM: DN3 v3.2.1 (Ditto Note 3)
E-mail: Aqua mail
The problem also occurs with the original Gmail app.

Hi,
Our developers are currently looking into supporting alternate email account types, as for now only Gmail is supported. We apologize for the inconvenience.
I recently got the Samsung S9+ I wanted to know which is the best email app.

Microsoft Outlook , its free and you can have multiple accounts and also your contacts , calendar and tasks are synced. I think since few months they now also have unread badge counts that's what I wanted after they put that function into Outlook app I made it my main email app and deleted all others
Newton mail if you use email on many platforms
Blue mail
I use blackberry hub
If you care anything about privacy, stay VERY far away from BlueMail/TypeApp (same apps), Newton, etc. They route your email through their servers, and will continue to do so even after you uninstall the app. You have to change your password to get it to stop.
I personally stick with Nine, Maildroid or Outlook. Nine is my email app of choice, though.
Give stock e-mail a try before you use another one. If you change to another theme, the email app will follow the chosen theme.
Google Inbox
I use Nine for work email.
Nine is best ..
AquaMail
But to round up this thread, there is no such thing as a best email app. Every app has it's good and bad and every user picks what suits him best.

Since moving over from my iPhone, the one and pretty much only issue left for me to resolve is syncing my calendar on the Mate 20 Pro with my wife's iPhone.
Does anyone have a way I can get this done?

Apple's calendar uses the CALDAV standard, which can be synced with dozens of apps. Davdroid is probably the most used one.
