[Q] mail client on Win RT - Windows RT General

Hi guys,
1) is there an alternative for the MS mail client in Win RT?
I would like to have Gmail and Yahoo emails on one place. Mail client can do this, however I found this client not useful for me. And there is no Gmail or even Yahoo clients for Win RT now, only some web clients, which I tried, but the notification for new emails is missing or not working for me.
2) is there a way to change colors in the MS mail client in Win RT?
Now, I can NOT quickly see unread mails, because of the bold gray color they use to highlight them. I would prefer them to be bold black instead, which is used in all know clients sofar...
Thanks for tips

There's a GMail app and you could have your other accounts picked up by GMail?

There's a desktop-mode x86 mail client which has been reported to run well enough in the emulator, but using that all the time will probably have a substantial impact on your battery life.

Ok, is there a way to change to color scheme for the MS mail client?

You know, I'd think there would be. It acts exactly like an "accent color" in Windows Phone... but uses a color different than the one selected in the Metro Personalization settings. By the way, on mine it's a blue/teal sort of color, not really grey at all; are you partially colorblind or does your version use a different color? It's the same on my Surface RT as well. The color is the same as that of the Live Tile, and has been the same teal-ish blue on every Win8 device that I've seen...

Certainly not grey on my system.

Calendar Colors for Multiple Calendars

Is there a way to change the colors ICS assigns to calendars?
I am syncing several corporate calendars on one account and a couple personal calendars on another account. None of the calendars display the same color which has been chosen for it under the web interface (i.e. one calendar displays as blue online while it is grey on my Nexus). There does not appear to be any way to change a calendar's assigned color within the ICS app.
I am either missing something or this is a pretty large oversight on Google's behalf. I was expecting a tighter integration between Android and Google Apps. It is pretty disappointing that I could at least reassign colors on my Blackberry's but not Android.
Assign the colors in Gmail from a PC and the app will sync to the same colors. Not an ICS issue, has been this way for a while.

That is the issue. I have assigned colors in Gmail but they do not sync on the Nexus. Greens are Blue, Reds are Grey.....etc
Did you ever fix this? Having the same issue.
edit: http://snoep.it/android-ics-and-exchange-calendar-colors/
Yes I did. It appears that the issue was due to using the "old" theme instead of the new google themw. Which is a dissappointment since the calendar colors in the old theme were better than the bright shades in the new one.
I have the new calendar theme but I am getting the old calendar colors :/ Dull and dark colors.

iOS-like email?

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.

Alternate email client

Can anyone suggest an alternate email client? I would lie it to do everything the stock one does but with one difference, I would like to move to the next email without returning to the inbox, i.e I am in the body of a message, I have read it and there is an arrow or something that allows me to move straight to the next or previous message, sorry for poor explanation but hopefully you know what I mean!
You can quickly switch between messages the way you describe with K9 mail (I can't post a link -- but google or a play store search for "K9 mail" will find it)
You can do the same too with the ICS Stock email client. That one was one of the best improved applications on ICS and I use that on my H1X along with the 4x4 widget to display emails on one of my home screens.
app called Touchdown
I'm using Touchdown and it works just great for me...

+1 for stock ICS. My only issue remains that the widget "freezes" / doesn't update immediately [this is an issue with ICS or the app, not the H1X]
Another +1 for Touchdown, while reading a message there are options to go to the next or previous email
Enhanced email works really well. I got mine free on the amazon daily promo a while back. It's more or less stock ics email with exchange security settings being configurable.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Thanks for the responses, I will try the stock ics
+1 for K9 mail
however, this is possible in stock sense email app too... you must uncheck "threaded view" option in general settings first, then you can see "next mail" and "previous mail" options in settings when you are viewing any email (three dots options button on upper right corner) in normal view. I know, it is almost same thing with 'back' then tap on next item in threaded view as well, and shame there is no swiping possibility either, hope HTC put this feature in coming updates.
Cheers!
Only thing that puts me off k9 is the pure white with no option for a dark look!
I have emailed the dev but yet to receive a response!

Go to Global settings --> Display and select Dark option in Theme, restart the app by existing K9 and dark theme will be applied when you open K9 again.
Whenever I get emails with images in it, like emails from ATT, Target, GAP etc, the email is showing up as if being viewed in a computer, I mean i can only see a part of it in Gmail, so I have to manually resize the email so that it fits in my phone display. This is kind of an annoyance since coming from iPhone where the email with images would get resized to fit the iphone display. Just wondering if there is any email client that work like the one on the iphone ?

Kaiten
I am using KAITEN for a long time, on my third device now. I was always happy with it.
Not free, but worth the money.
I have a question about k9. I have 3 email accounts on stock email app. 2 of which i have currently set to push so within seconds i have my new email. 1 of which i use to sign up for things and email certain companies ( that i don't need to get instant contact ) and this would be daft using up my mobile data on! I have found that as soon as i set up the accounts they are immediately on push. Even tho there is an update folders option set to never!?
Would someone be able to explain how i would set my third account to be manual- ie i will have to press sync to fetch new mail.

press accounts and sync settings.......
There is no accounts and sync within k9
To reiterate i would like two accounts to be pushed to my device and one to be manual when i go into it and select "retrieve mail"
Is this possible with k9?

Long press the account, account settings, sync folders, set poll frequency to never and push folders to none.

Thanks for the help but i managed to get one account set to manual but it wasn't the one i wanted and i couldn't get it to push without recreating. This is one confusingly laid out app with its settings.
The beauty of the stock app is you can set to push and even set an on and off peak schedule and define how the app pulls in emails in those periods. Unfortunately the schedule in ics is broken which is why i was seeking an alternative.

calendar event colors

Sorry if im posting this in the wrong section
I have a gnex on 4.1.2 with the latest calendar update, but i cant figure out how to change the calendar event colors when i create or edit one. It lets me change the calendar i want it on, but not theindividual event color.
Does anybody know how to do this?
The only way i know is to go to the desktop version... but that sort of defeats the point of having the calendar on my phone
Thanks
I don't think it's possible to do so yet, on the mobile app.
Let's hope Google adds this feature in the future.
I am more concerned with the fact that the calendar colors are totally different for the same calendars on mobile and desktop. Haven't you noticed? I really hope they fix that first.
The colors show up the same on my desktop and mobile. My problem is i just cant change the colors from mobile... sucks!!! I hope they change it this should have been there since the begining its such a basic function

Email Client

Hi Everyone,
I am looking for an Email Client application which has such bellow options
[*]Outlook Style Reply Header
-Enhanced Email has this option but I don't like UI of EE
-K-9 Email has this option but there is no option to change font size/color/face.
[*]Could change the composing font size/color/face.
-EE and Touchdown both have this option but I don't like UI of EE and and there is no Outlook Style Reply Header in Touchdown.
[*]UI like Android Stock Email client or Gmail
-UI is good of stock email client but it has very few options.
[*]Could configure multiple email accounts.
[*]Support exchange as well as POP3 and IMAP
All the good clients have very ugly user interface and all the good user interface clients have very less options. I already tried bellow applications so please exclude them from your suggestions.
TouchDown
Enhanced Email
CloudMagic
K-9
SolMail
AquaMail
Blue Mail
MailDroid
InoMail
looking for your extensive support and suggestions.
Not 100% sure if it meets all your requirements, but I use it and I love it and haven't ever used any other client: Nine email client, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ninefolders.hd3
