Does anyone know of an IMAP email app that is worth using? There seem to be a bunch out there that are all iffy from what I've seen. My college account is IMAP, and I can get the correct configuration settings from them, but first want an app that is actually decent. Paid apps aren't out, but a trial first would be nice, or at least a pretty perfect review.
Thanks!
I use K-9 Mail for my comcast accounts (2 POP3), gmail account (IMAP) and my college email account (IMAP). It is HIGHLY customizable and works great been using it for years.
I just use Gmail. I probably have 6 different emails linked to it. For my college, I just it forward a copy to my primary gmail account. Then again, my college email is gmail based.
Gmail DOES support IMAP and POP.

The built in email app supports imap, I use it for my university. Just go to accounts and add it from there.

I find the built in app to be just fine and it should do IMAP, unless you tried it and are having issues. I use the built in email app for my college, except we use an MS Exchange server and it works fine.
The above two posters have better ideas. My method was to do it all through gmail on my computer and have all my emails linked to my main account, then just have 1 gmail app reading my primary account, but that's sort of a security risk. If someone gets into my primary gmail account, they can see everything.

Slayer621, why not setup 2 factor authentication on your gmail account? Your phone can be a soft-token, that way it will be more secure. When it comes to my University, they want all emails to instructors/staff to go through your main Uni account, so that's why I won't route everything through gmail.

I was looking to do it through the stock email app, but running SD5.1 ICS doesn't have the option to add an email account. I'll look into K9, but I may be heading back to Mav4 GB here soon anyways where there may be a stock email app. Thanks! I'll be back with updates.
Kinda hitting a dead end here. I'm on Mav4 and using the stock email app, I added my email address and pw, then I hit manually configure and entered what I could find from the school (Univ. of Pittsburgh, http://technology.pitt.edu/Document...obile/Mobile Devices and Enterprise Email.pdf), but couldn't get it to work. I'll be trying K9 tomorrow maybe.

is there a way to have push email on android ? i used the email service on it but it updates my inbox every 2 days and i have set it on every 5 minutes update...so is there anyway to sync my hotmail account with android ? thanks
I don't know about the stock email app but K9 supports push, although it's quite flakey on 2.2 (most caused by service api changes)

The stock supports push but I think only for exchange servers. I'm not sure Hotmail can push.
Push is only for Exchange. And the stock one sucks for features and the interface.
If you want good Exchange support for Activesync with push, use the Desire Rom, the interface and features are good.
Also, there is a third party Exchange push app that does it all too that will run on stock Roms.
Any other Push I don't think exist right now...but then again, I guess I never really looked and needed it since I used Exchange.
To the original poster - if you use any standard IMAP email provider that supports IMAP IDLE, K9mail has flawless push email. Unfortunately, I don't think Hotmail supports IMAP IDLE.

Setting the record straight - I've been running K9mail 2.8 and now 2.9 on FRF50, then FRF72 and now FRF83 and IMAP IDLE has been rock solid stable for me. Not a glitch since several releases ago.
i've never used hotmail (ok i lie i used it in 1998) but if it supports forwarding or pop you can forward all email to gmail or have gmail fetch hotmail through pop. android's native gmail app supports push.
You could also setup your gmail account to go POP your hotmail account on a regular interval. Then anything that gets brought over would be pushed to your local android gmail app right away.

that's cool!
Hotmail will have Exchange support shortly, so you could wait and do it that way.
Or you can get GMail to pull your emails and then read them in the GMail client. The problem with this message is that you reply from GMail and not Hotmail.
It's not possible to get Hotmail to forward emails outside of their accounts.
The gmail client its the best mobile email there is, period.

just an fyi..
I have 3 accounts set up in gmail and also have Gmail Notifier (from marketplace) installed. I get separate color and sound notification depending on which account receives email with this combo.
If you have other non-gmail accounts just set them to forward to a dummy gmail account - you'll still be able to get custom notification (trackball, sound etc)
maybe it's just me.. but the mobile gmail website that opens up in the stock browser looks 100x better with it's UI and color scheme..
the gmail app is so darn ugly.. why can't they make it look at least as decent as the mobile site?
Has anyone tried the new Kaiten Mail app by the Creator of K-9 mail. It is suppose to be for tablets and HD phones. I thought it was in beta, but it is in the Amazon App store for $5.

Looks nice just did not know it was even out yet.
I just bought it and its fantastic. Got my Gmail/yahoo/live accounts set up. Interface is set up nicely as this is aimed for tabs. Plenty of features. By far the best email app I've tried. I've tried just about all of them out there. Well worth the 5 bucks.
Thanks for letting me know. I have always liked K-9 so this is something I was looking forward to.
Wow this has instantly become my favorite email app for the gtab. The layout is excellent and makes effecient use of screen real estate. At the same time it has all the configuration that k-9 has unlike the client from NI. I have not had any DC yet. So far so good.
This might be a dumb question but will this client work for MS Exchange email accounts?
Anyone know how to select a default email account? Its always starts out displaying all the accounts. I want to open it, and it start on gmail. I've looked in in the settings to no avail! Thanks!
Found it! I kept reading over it.
Just got it today, very nice.
Anyone know how to setup more than one Google account? I have one Gmail account then my work email is a Google app account (cloudtrigger.com). When I try to set it up I con only choose from imap, pop3 or exchange...none of them work.

Stock email app works like a charm with hotmail. I got 2 accounts configured under it and my local provider email also. Never had issues getting hotmail.
If you want to fully managed your hotmail (delete mails on server) then your right default email app on the cappy cannot do it but it can fetch the mail.
EDIT: Tried delete on the server option and it works. Fluke bug probably.
Do a Google search on "Hotmail activesync android" and you should be on your way use stock email to do push Hotmail. server deletion is supported last time I checked.

Correct .. last time i tried it failed miserably.. maybe just a bug or a bad connection.
Haven't tried it personally, but I do use Maildroid for gmail,Yahoo, and my ISP email. All set to push, even free Yahoo.
I used the exchange server for hotmail on my Captivate, worked fine with the stock email. Set it up as exchange, using m.hotmail.com as the server. Your username is your full email address. I don't have a Captivate anymore so I don't know if you need anything else (like port numbers). Google should give you the rest.
Also, if you set it up as exchange you can choose to sync your contacts and calendar with hotmail.

I'm looking for an email app that can handle multiple email accounts. Originally I was using both GMail and Outlook but as soon as GMail started adding ads that could not be deleted I dropped both apps and switched back to Aqua Mail. Now I'm having a problem with Aqua Mail and can't get a resolution from the official forums.
I've since switched to Blue Mail but it seems to be a heavy app and is draining my battery. Plus, I don't get any type of notification when I get emails even though I have it setup to do so.
So, what is everyone using and what can you suggest?
I use K9
Gesendet von meinem XT1052 mit Tapatalk
I used to use K9 as well, but there was something really goofy about their UI I didn't like. I'll give them a go again.
OK, I tried it again, now I remember why I didn't like it. I use Hotmail/Outlook and I can receive emails but can't send them.
I use Aquamail

I've been using Aquamail for years. But about 3 days ago it stopped working. I asked about it on their forums and got no answer. This isn't the first time I've had problems with Aquamail; I've tried to stay loyal to it since I paid for it. But I'm just sick of it working, then not working for no apparent reason.
I just installed K9 this morning. Seems to be working well enough for now. I haven't had time to sit down and mess with some of it's features yet.
Mail Droid
I have been using Maildroid for some time and highly recommend it. It is highly customizable and easily supports multiple accounts. The developer quickly responds to problems and there is decent web support.
I use [email protected], don't know why I never went to K9. Works well with multiple accounts and PGP integration. Couldn't ask for anything more.
+1 for Maildroid
What's wrong with the stock one? Mine checks an exchange account and 2 imap accounts just fine.

I remember using MailDroid years ago when it first came out. Haven't given it a second look before today. It looks like it's got a lot of really nice features. I'm downloading it now.
Stock email client is very good. Just don't use it for gmail. It will kill your battery from my experience.
Works fine for all my other accounts (exchange, yahoo, etc).
myMail works great....

I had been using Aquamail for the past several years. Except about a week ago Gmail stopped syncing to it and I couldn't get it working. I also got not answer on the Aquamail forums. Decided it was time to move on.

The only reason I stopped using Gmail is because of their new ad feature. They send you ads that are disguised as emails and then don't allow you to delete them. Once I dropped Gmail I dropped Exchange as well and went back to Aquamail. Aquamail stopped working three months after I put it on my phone. So it got dropped too. I tried Droidmail, didn't like some of it's features. I'm currently using K9.
I use Inomail. Handles multiple accounts as well as allows html signatures. IMAP, POP, and all the others.

Hi...
I am using cloudmagic for few months... Tried many but fully satisfied with Cloudmagic...... Create an account in cloudmagic... then configure all your accounts...... If you flash roms and once you install cloudmagic afresh, just log in with cloudmagic account and you will have all your pre configured emails ready including exchange accounts.....

Outlook Beta/Mailwise
I have been using outlook beta from play store. Love it because it skips encryption or forced pin usage from the exchange server. Also MailWise is excellent. Also has option to skip encryption or forced PIN if you enable it. No root necessary.

Another vote for Nine! Switched a number of users at work over to that app. With the new Outlook beta...if only it had mark as read from the dropdown notification menu like Nine, I'd probably switch to that. (it's a really nice app!)

I feel Nine is the best apps so far. Only thinking whether I should buy it or not.
Just to use the mail App I moved to MIUI, which is having good mail app.
I do not understand why Google is not making a good app with their build. Google mail app/stock does not show pictures in mail rather it show it as attachment.
I mean if anyone sending picture pasted in mail text space, then it comes as attachment.
My previous phone was Samsung and really like the mail application. I used Huawei phone same experience, mail application is good. Only for Oneplus one where I have to use CM or CM flavour ROM which does not have a good mail application. I have even tried in recent lollipop builds, all mail apps having same issue. Picture comes as attachment.
