Hi. I just got the Galaxy S and set up my uni's Microsoft Exchange Push e-mail on it. It's working well but it's a bit of a pain to open the email app every time I get a new email.
Is there a widget that displays your more recent e-mails? I used to have a HTC Touch HD before so something like the sense e-mail screen would be amazing...
I've had a look around the Market and this forums but no luck so far. Has anyone come across anything like that?
Thanks in advance
correct me if i am wrong but in the normal mail client of the galaxy u can also enter how recent your email must be? so it doesnt show everything all the time?
Not sure you are answering the question here
THe idea is to have a preview of the recent mail on a widget without opening the mail app
I have this kind of widget with Touchdown but the problem is that you have to pay for this app and it's 20$!!
I didn't find somwthing like the sense widget for the mail ...

Moxier Mail has a preview widget, of sorts, or use Pure Messanger with K9 plugin.

Pure messenger (1.49 Euro i think)

But i found it a bit slow and limited with touchwiz
Works well as a scrollable widget on Launcher Pro though
ah yeah indeed i misunderstood the question. but i dont see the problem anyway when opening e-mail when u have new mail. u even get a nice popup in the top-bar that u have new mail which u can instant open from there..
but then again, maybe it could be better with a widget yea
Thanks for the advise. Guess I'll live with the default email client. It's no problem it's just that 80% of the email I get isn't important so it's nice to get an instant preview to see if it's worth reading
Does anyone know how to enable html emails to display or scale to the screen? For the life of me I can't find it and yet it seems like a feature that should be there. Am I missing something or is this a feature that google hasn't built into the app?
Thanks in advance.
hmmm i dont get it
anyway if your question is about scaling the emails while using gmail app, it's impossible

Yes, I think you have the right idea. HTML based emails come in as full-size emails and you have to pan to read them. Pinch-zoom isn't even possible.
When I had an iPhone, the email program rendered them and scaled them to the screen size (portrait or landscape mode). I'm surprised the gmail app isn't capable of doing this.
besides the whole iphone bubble thing ( which im sure will be fixed with themes ), i think the stock messaging app is a winner this time around. especially the new landscape preview mode. also i dont know whats different in this gmail version but i no longer get the "ghost" emails ( when the message counter says i have unread messages but i cannot see them ) good job samsung..
I like it as well but for some reason I can't get my ip camera video attachments. I can see them on the regular gmail app but not on the stock email app. I get the email with the attachments icon but nothing shows to click to preview.

I made a mental note to try out Go SMS but I never really got around to it actually, because like you I thought the stock messaging app was pretty sweet.
i wish there some more customization like you can do on MIUI and handcent like - mini window, etc
I'm using the stock MAIL app, I prefer it to the Gmail one. The text app I replaced with Handcent.
I use the Yahoo email app, works great.

I Use the yahoo email app for my yahoo mail.. I use the built in gmail app for my 3 gmail accnts
Tapatalkin' it from my Epic Touch 3g
I'm trying to use the stock email app isntead of downloading the yahoo mail app and using the gmail app.
I like that I can set the background to black with white text.
My only issue is that I'm not liking the lack of push notifications.
I can set it to check every 15 minutes with an notification on my status bar...
That seems almost better than push? (As far as it not sitting there nonstop checking for mail). Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

I'm really digging the little animation where the text slides over to the pane, and I also love the window view in landscape. The next SMS app is one of my favorite "tweaks," on the device.
The stock SMS application is good, but the iPhone-style bubbles are ugly, and not having the option to change them or their colors is terrible.
With that being said, the worst part of the stock SMS application is the over-compression of MMS photos. Sending photos to friends is an embarrassing affair. Your 8MP photos get compressed to usually between 25KB to 50KB, at the smallest resolution ever. I'm all for saving network throughput, but come on. People on larger resolution devices (iPhone 4) can't see anything. Disappointing.

It's my guess Sprint is the one to blame with over compression of MMS. I had this exact same problem with my HTC EVO 4G.
I broadcast texts to about 30 people on a regular basis and the built-in SMS client won't send to more than 10 people at once no matter how big the group is so I can't use it. Wish I could fix that - I'd rather use the built-in app so it would work with the lock screen. Or it would be nice if you could make other email/SMS clients work with the lock screen.
I like both stock apps looks good and functions well.

Just pull the CM7 messaging app from a rom and slap in the system folder and change permissions Then reboot.

Anyone know of any apps/tweaks that make Android's email client look as good as that on iOS?
iOS has nicely formatted emails whereas Android's look ugly and doesn't size the mail properly.
Evening all,
I am after a bit of advice. Being new to this Droid world im having a bit of difficulty with the email app. The one in the iPhone just… worked but the one that is built in with my note is providing to be a little more challenging. The Gmail app works great and I love it, but it doesn’t support my Uni email which is via exchange.
If I use the stock app, it has a horrible black screen which makes text hard to read, and it doesn’t always sync my emails properly.
Any advice on email apps? I want what I had on my iPhone, or as close to it as possible.
Thanks in advance
I don't know what this "black screen" you mention is. I use the stock email for my multiple exchange accounts. I have no problem with reading or consistency.
I'm on a us at&t unrooted. Providing a screen shot may help.

Thanks for the quick reply. The black screen is when I open the email app and it shows the email in thread form. When I open the email the background is usually white.
No black here. Did you change some other settings?

I will try and upload something now
Please see attached screenshot. I have minimised all mail messages. Basically you have a black background and grey text. Its not ideal when reading. In addition to this i have found that Google will push the email to its own app, but using this Samsung app, it needs a time period to sync. I have tried a few different settings and not had much success.
I see now. I have too much mail for a condensed view to be an issue showing a black screen. That seems to be a very trivial issue. You can't really read your messages if they're closed up like that !
Yes gmail does have push, but you can have the same thing with exchange. However, it's not nearly as efficient; ive had exchange live push drain batteries way too quickly. Email polling is a standard feature on all email clients that are not "native" to the Microsoft ecosystem. The upside is you can set the time range for more often vs over hours (such as non work time or the middle of the night ).
Short story is, try to adjust to a different way of doing something. And nothing prevents you from doing a manual refresh on those OCD days.

I was using the collapsed view just to show the background. The text from any emails are a shade of grey with a black background. Really annoying.
