[Q] Anyone have a work around to entering PIN for Exchange Server email app? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I am currently using Enhanced Email because it doesn't force me to enter a PIN from the lockscreen (requirement from work's exchange server), but I prefer the stock E4GT email app. Does anyone have or know of a work around to having to enter a PIN with the stock app?

They have a stock email apk with security stripped out. Kind of a ***** to set up but it works great

Ok, I've searched all over and can't find it. You don't happen to have it do you?

I think this is what you are looking for. I haven't personally tested it because I am fortunate enough to not have to use exchange any longer, but several people that I have supplied this apk for said that it worked for exchange.

You do know that circumventing that security policy can be grounds for termination.

I'm all for choice... here's the Samsung's Email.apk with the PIN requirement removed as well. It doesn't differ much from AOSP, but it's your choice.
This is for deodexed ROMs only.
Remove any accounts already setup in Email.
Place file in /system/app.
Reboot.
Re-setup accounts back into Email.

As someone who runs an exchange environment what you are doing is incredibly irresponsible. you deserve whatever comes from doing this.

As a side note, if you use Touchdown, then you can still secure the Exchange side without having to lock down the rest of the device. It's a much better overall client for Exchange anyway.

While I appreciate both of your concerns, you're both wrong in this case. My employer doesn't even know how it got turned on. It happened when we got a new server.
Being the VP of Operations, I don't think I will be fired seeing as the President wanted this too. Also, I always try to get as much detail as possible before I start handing out "advice" or telling strangers how to conduct their business.

Did you try to select "SSL/TLS Accept all certificates" in Security type ?
Alright guys I have unpacked those files and they are slightly different compared to the gingerbread email application which is based of the Seven application.

Glide IMAP will not receive emails is this a known issue?

I have the glide and have not been able to succefully receive ANY IMAP emails. I just recently switched from Sprint to AT&T, I have the 4gig data plan with teithering. My email account is with Go Daddy. I use these same excact settings on my laptop and on my old Epic phone. Both worked flawlessly. Now that I've switch I cannot get it to work on my glide. I tried removing and reinstalling the accounts. I've tried on the wife's phone as well. I can send out emails fine, but none will pull down. Here are the Go Daddy server settings.
Incoming: imap.secureserver.net port 993
Ougoing: smtpout.secureserver.net port 465
Using built in email client on Droid 2.3.5 non-rooted
I use these same setting on my desktop with Outlook and on my old Samsung Epic using WiFi with no problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated thanks!
I don't have the glide but when i was setting up my corporate account for my job I has to change the security setting in the email client and the port it used. Might want to try the settings in there and see if that helps.

K9 pulled my msgs right down super quick. I don't really care for the GUI, but it will have to work for now. I also called Samsung and they could care less that this is a bug with the Cap Glide. And wants me to try pop3. I hate pop3 and shouldn't have to use it, just be cause they have a bug in there software.
Anyways, thank for your help, K9 will do for now!

S3's email app is terrible! Alternatives?? please help

I liked the stock email app on the galaxy S2, I figured that once I got my s3 that email would be similar, but it's not, it is much much worse. Is there any way to install the old mail app from the S2 on the S3?
I have tried the alternative email programs from the play store and I just don't like them.
Please help!
Thanks a million.
Enhanced Email...
I may not be correct, but.... I believe the GS2 used an email program built by Seven.
You may look and find an apk for Seven email+IM that should be similar. I personally cannot find a download link for it.
If you go their website, they do have a BETA Android program. http://community.seven.com/download.php Again, not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but may be worth a shot.
Edit: It appears they abandoned Android in the last year or something and the only client they currently are shown as making is the one for Hotmail's Android client. Sorry.

K-9 Mail is IMO a good email client. I don't know if it's one of the alternatives you tried and didn't like.
It's larger that Enhanced Email, but cheaper... (free)...
I'm new or I'd post a link to the Play store.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I've tried all the free email apps on the play store and none of them really did it for me. Finally tried enhanced email too and that is a step in the right direction, hopefully I don't have any troubles from it.
p.s. I have the Gmail app, but I need to access my work email somehow.
Try touchdown by nitrodesk. It's one of the best

Only one I found I liked was Inomail,
What about the AOSP Google email? I think it looks great and works very well.
yea if you need to check an exchange acct at work I usually go between nitrodesk touchdown and moxier mail. One of those should be perfect for you I prefer touchdown really.
What is it about the stock SGS3 email app that you don't like?

the rom NoAOSP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759245
uses the email client from google nexus; a user there said it was the only email client they've used on the S3 that allowed them to connect to their work email.
perhaps download that rom, open the zip with 7zip and pull out the email.apk and put it on your phone.
try to install it normally, if not you may have to copy it to system/app with root explorer (reboot afterwards)
might be worth a look

In the SGS2 email you could make it inverted and control font size from the app.
I pushed the old app every way i could. No joy. May try a flashable zip, but I can't see that making much difference... I guess it would have to be ported.

Gmail 5.0 anyone?

Has anyone upgraded (via the store) to Gmail 5.0? It's supposed to be rolling out now, I haven't got it yet. But I'm excited to be able to run exchange and Gmail through a single client.
I got it!! Looks amazing its like Inbox but without all the extra BS

It is great, I love it. I never got to use Inbox because my "gmail" is actually my domain with Google apps so I don't really know how inbox is. This new update to gmail is fabulous, looks great, works amazingly well. Love it. Can't way until most apps are utilizing material design...

You only need an invite for Inbox. I really like the GMail update, but Inbox is a new paradigm that matches the way I wanted to use Gmail...so for me I prefer it.

No BJ here from it but I do like it and the new layout thus far.

The new Gmail does support exchange right?
I got an Inbox invite today. Downloaded it, and no exchange support. So I'm not sure I'm going to give it a lot of time for now.
Not really a huge Inbox fan. I love that Gmail added exchange supprt, but the way you switch account is cumbersome.

Only real issue now is (maybe I'm just missing it) that I don't see a "combined" inbox with all accounts lumped together like Samsung' email client does.

Yup. that is my biggest issue as well. I hope they update it soon. It's a big phone to be crawling up to the top of the screen in order to select a different account. A combined inbox would be ideal, but i would settle with all the accounts listed in the pull out menu rather than just the current box.

Exchange Security Bypass

Since we don't have root yet, I was looking for a way to bypass the Exchange security my employer enforces because I hate having to put in a PIN every time I unlock my phone.
I came across this excellent email client called MailWise.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.syntomo.email&hl=en
They have a built-in option to bypass Exchange security protocol and it works perfectly!
I use aqua mail with no issues. The only thing is that it doesn't sync my work calender.

You have to put in a pin when you open the Touchdown app, but not every time you use your phone.
So it is 100% exchange security compliant, without taking over your whole phone.
By the way, at my company you would get fired for intentionally trying to bypass the exchange security requirements... Not saying that applies to your company, but be careful.

I really like the app called Nine and it also has application level exchange security, but I don't want to pay $10 for it.
I just want to use the fingerprint unlock instead of PIN unlock.

I remembered Enhanced Email by pass that before. Seems like it's not anymore now because I have to gain the Ad right in order to use my Corp email with it.
The biggest thing holding me back from upgrading to the Note 4 is this. I just downloaded and setup MailWise, it took a while to realize what steps it took to get the security bypassed, but I managed it. I'm much closer to getting this phone now, thanks OP!

And that is exactly why my corporation won't allow android devices to sync to our exchange servers with the stock app, nor any of the 3rd party apps that allow you to bypass the security..
All of these security bypasses are really hindering Android device use in the corporate world...
