Email Client - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

Regular person here guys. Shouldn't even be on this forum. You guys are way too advanced for me. But i know just enough to be dangerous. And your the only ones that could help me with this.
I need a regular e-mail client. Just like the stock ones on all my LG's (2,3,4,5). And like all my old HTC phones. All the ones in the app store don't cut it for me. Either missing something or just not right. Mine is a business phone and the stock e-mail i get on all my skinned phones seem to be the best (for what i need). they are basic, simple, clean and just work!!! have notifications without downloading some other app to tell when you get a new e-mail. P.S. I use exchange. Don't like G-mail client for my work account. And don't want to mix my g-mail with work account either. I get over 250 per day.
is there anyway to get one of them? can i get a LG apk and use it on the Pixel? or is theirs themed for their skin? Doesn't have to be LG either. the Sammy one was good and Motorola & HTC also. is it possible or not a chance? Again i would need it to be as easy as downloading a APK. I can't do any of the ADB shell(or whatever it's called)
thanks in advance
I have tried almost all the store ones(just saving you time on telling my to use touchdown or something similar). They are all missing some feature or something that the stock ones I usually use have.

Have you tried Aquamail? I've found it to be better than any of the stock email apps.

there are a handful of great 3rd party Exchange email apps you can use. I would Google some of them and try them out to see which suits you best.
Outlook might be good, K9 I have used in the past. I ended up using Gmail and getting used to it for my Pixel.
If not, I found a link to the Samsung email APK here:

Unless something changed no OEM email client will work with stock Android because the framework is not there.

Hummmm 21, that one looks clean. I think that might be what i'm looking for.
of course still waiting for stupid phone. But i will be trying that one. Don't care if paid or not. Willing to pay if it's what i'm looking for. clean and stock looking. and works flawlessly with exchange(which i have not been able to find yet)
thanks for the tip.

I too struggle with emails .. I'm always looking for something better .. as I told you I like boxer I have to retract that statement. Alto may just be the best email app I've ever used. Super clean and smooth interface. Mark as read option for notifications instead of just archive . All inbox option. It's phenomenal dude. Try it out

I'll tell you this Ant. I don't have my phone yet but co-worker does. I got it for him. So it's basically mine when ever i need to do something on it.
Just loaded Alto and it looks good. Real good!!!! Just like a stock skinned type e-mail client. Waiting to test badge count and everything else. But this is definitely the cleanest client I have seen(yes their boring but that's what I need for work).
No badge count yet but nine took a few hours for everything to start working and to get a count..
thanks!!!!

If your using the Pixel launcher you won't get a badge count with any app. If your using Nova then you need to have Tesla unread installed from the play store and then turn Alto on in the settings.

Nine got it. Worked perfect actually. Every e-mail had a count. He just wants to get rid of it now because it's asking him to pay all of a sudden. Me personally have no problem paying. I just don't love the looks of Nine

Have you tried the Blackberry Hub? It's more than an email client (and the subscription includes more apps), but I've found it a really clean and easy app to use. It fixes my biggest gripe about GMail (i.e. threaded emails when using Gmail accounts).

Try Nine. I was addicted to the stock one as well until I used nine.

TypeApp, formerly known as Blue Mail.
I've tried a couple dozen over the years and this is the one I've liked the best.
Push, themes, tons of customization, free.

It might be a little too fancy/customizable for you though?

I would suggest Type Mail, I have found it to be an excellent email app!

I am currently using mailwise https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.syntomo.email
For my corprate exchange has some nice features i like the way it threads emails they have a free ver and a pay ver but it is a one time purchess to unlock a few features

We just tried that one and not for me. All of these are like the ones I already tried. they all do something but not all thing I need. and please don't take this as an insult. Thanks VERY much for helping
Nine seems to be the closest. I get over 300 e-mails a day so I HAVE to have a badge count. Nine is the only one so far that does it. But even Nine isn't close to the skinned clients.
I just don't get it. Why can skin company's that we make fun of do perfect e-mail but not Google. Yes if i didn't have a job or was still a kid in high school G-mail would be fine. But it sucks for business(especially because of that stupid conversation type threading). But why doesn't Google allow for badge count. Everyone wants that. I've never heard of a person saying they don't. Nor is there a reason to not want it on everything that needs one(Text, e-mail, voicemail). Google is a business. I just can't figure this part out. Wake up google. I can't remember what I used back in my Gnex days(last time i had a pure android phone). but whatever it was i liked it.
i just don't get it!!!!! but i'll adapt and get over it. So far Nine seems to be the most professional.

[Q]Email Client

I'll be honest and say my experience with the S2 so far have been pretty poor, the entire android experience feels quite fragmented but I guess that's what you buy into, anyway the question.
It seems like the messages and email app are some sort of Samsung concoction rather than stock gingerbread, maybe this goes for the phone app aswell...? is there anyway I can just rip this samsung meh off and replace it with the stock stuff for the moment until I find a combination of stuff that works or write something better?
Si
have you tried one of the other email clients from the market?
my sg2 is due to come tomorrow so cant comment, but I would recommend k9 mail or enhanced email from the market
I got Profimail its the best email client ever trust me download it and try the trial if you like it register it i have been using it for 7 years on different devices its solid trust me here is the link below
http://www.lonelycatgames.com/?app=profimail&page=download&platform=android
I might be the only person to think like this but Samsung's email app is much better than the stock one imo, same goes for messaging and phone apps. Samsung did a good job with these. That said, if you only want to run stock stuff, why not have gotten a Nexus S? Samsung's stuff is designed to work better with the hardware in their phones and a lot of it is hardware accelerated (like the browser).
I have used K9 Mail for about a year. Its far better than the others and allows for many more configuration options. One can add PGP by installing APG from the Market.
A manual is here:-

How about deleting an account?
Can't seem to find it
I'm quite liking "Enhanced Email" at the moment.
It seems to bypass the pin number requirement policy that our IT guys enforce when setting up Exchange email. It was driving me nuts having to enter the pin code everytime I turned the screen on and off. I can now use the standard lock screen or pattern unlock whilst getting my work email as well. Nice.

When you are in the inbox of an account, you will see the name of the mailbox at the tope left. Tap the top left and it will take you to a summary of your accounts. Then just hit the menu and you will get the option to delete accounts

Best push mail app?

My main email is a domain name I own. It's not Gmail or Hotmail or anything similar. I am looking for an inexpensive mail app that will instantly push new mail to my device. I've seen there is K9 and another one called mail DROID but just wondering if there is something cheaper?
I default email app doesn't instantly push right.? Only every five minutes which I assume drains the battery

I've been using the paid version of InoMail and like it a lot. It pushes pretty well.

K-9 and MailDroid (not the pro version) are free. How much cheaper do you want?
I'm partial to K-9 as I've been using it w/o complaints for a few years. It does push just fine. The UI is dated, but the next upgrade is supposed to improve that.
Oh sweet. I thought they were only free for 30 days. I thought I read that. I'll give them a try.
Emoze is my choise

I use Emoze Push client in my Android device which gives the ability to push any type of email ,obviously Exchange ,IMAP,Gmail Hotmail but even POP3 which is very limited email protocol.
I've done benchmarks with the stock ICS email client and with several third party clients and I find that Emoze has the advantage in almost every aspect.
Push notification is stable and fast ,less than 60 sec.
Battery consumption is low ,I’m able to work in push mode without charging for at least 22 hours.
I’m quite a heavy email user so it was kind of a surprise to me because I used to have 6-8 hours max with only one account working in push.
I have 5 email accounts which is about 100-200 email per day so no kidding ,this one really improved my life ,I’m less paranoid about my battery.
Other features which are quite useful are the security options that allows you to find the device location by SMS or email
and also to remote wipe or block by SMS.
This is cool because you don’t need PC connected to the internet to get the job done ,you can simply send SMS to your phone number to activate the security process.

Not exactly an answer to your question, but I got sick of maintaining my Qmail server a few years back and gave GAFYD (Google Apps For Your Domain) a whirl. Best decision I ever made, letting Google handle my email. Plus, the price was right: Free. Now I can use any Gmail app I want to get my custom domain emails.
Just thought I'd throw that out there.
1. InoMail
2. K9 Mail
3. Mail droid (serious here I had when using multiple accounts; it messed up between accounts n emails attaching totally unrelated mails in replies; so use only for one)

This. I moved to Google for my domain email about 4 or 5 years ago. The trick though is that we are grandfathered in with some extra features that new accounts don't get. I think we get more users.

Inomail are you kidding the app doesnt actually look for email you have to manually sych in order to egt you email and it lookss so much like ios with all it's huge useless buttons and scroll wheels it makes me ill.
As for k-9 ...after how badly the messed up kaiten (crashes when you reply and is butt ugly) I would avoid anything from these guys.

No you just need to set Push or the polling frequency in settings.

[Q] Email app wanted...

with the following attributes:
-push mail
-threaded conversations
-choose how many lines of preview to see in the message list
and not a deal breaker, but would be nice:
-change background and font colors
I'm currently on SRZ, but have a few other Roms backed up (mikrunny, TSMGingerBliss, Paranoid),
and have lost count of all the apps I've tried so far.
Lots that can do one or two, plus the font/color changes.
Tried Viper, but got horrible lag after a few days, even with V6 Supercharger. I think the stock mail app on that was fairly nice.
Help?
Personally I don't like it but k9 is popular.
I use both the hotmail and gmail apps separately as the s3 stock email app glitches out.

Wow, superfast reply!
I tried K9, Kaiten, Aqua, Maildroid, Gmail (I'm using Gmail), the stock email (older version on SRZ), a bunch of free trials for pay apps, and several less well known apps, but unless I overlooked the obvious, none could do all the things (not that many, really), that I'd like.
How hard would it be to add a feature like threaded conversations to K9 or Kaiten, I wonder. You can sort by subject, but that's not quite the same.
Yeah the world of email is lacking on android and the only reason I also keep iOS around lol how many people use email daily and how hard is it to create a useful email client?
Ah well... Good luck, and if you find anything decent please let me know too lol

Seems, there are tons of K9 permutations around, but they are all pretty much the same, without adding anything.

Exchange Mail App alternative?

All,
The default LG G3 Mail app is kinda meh....I hate the fact it does not allow me to view 'ALL EMAILS' under one, instead I have to manually toggle through my sub folders. I came from HTC One M7 and their mail app was the best I've used.
Can anyone recommend me other alternative that is not Touchdown? I hate the old looking UI of Touchdown.
I'm trying Nine Mail App now...so far so good? Any others?
Thanks!

Cloudmagic. It's a great app - very useful and it integrates with other apps you might use, i.e. Evernote, Pocket, etc.

I like AquaMail, but agree Cloudmagic is good (just hated the UI on Cloudmagic myself - specifically that it felt like I was wasting my huge screen because the app elements were huge themselves).
Take a look at Nine. I use it and like it a lot for my work's exchange email account
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ninefolders.hd3&hl=en
Yes, I'm currently using Nine now and its good. I wanted to see what other options are there. CloudMagic looks great, but don't like the fact they store our info/emails in their cloud.
Nine,I like it much more than cloudmagic

If you can get the stock KitKat email app to work with Exchange it should be a great option. Much of the same interface and goodness as Gmail, threaded emails, etc, etc. My problem is that I have now tried two phones and at least 5 custom ROMs (on my HTC One X) and I have never been able to get the stock KitKat app to work with Exchange. I have tried CleanROM, Viper, Paranoid, Cyanogen, ASOP, as soon as the OS is 4.4 or newer Exchange simply does not work. Things work with the 4.3 Email.apk and Exchange2.apk but that does not have threading. Yes, I have tried all sorts of posted workarounds, Exchange2Google.apk from various sources, etc, no luck. There are numerous threads out there from people claiming to have this problem. Must be a Google screwup because the Samsung, HTC, and LG OEM apps have absolutely no issues with Exchange under KitKat.
If anyone knows of a workaround please PM me or just respond to this thread.

Just suggesting,
I've had a lot of headaches trying to make my exchange work on android.
Auto settings never worked for me, i had to manually type the server user password and such.
My problem was that i was not typing the domain before username.
Im pointing this out because LG email app has a domain field and stock email app doesnt.
So what I do is I fill domain\[email protected] in username field on stock email app, and i use pod51015.outlook.com on server field. And it works like that. Server might be different for you.

Yeah, I have seen numerous people suggest that as a workaround but it has never worked for me. Perhaps the email server is not correct, I need to go talk to the IT guys. The annoying part is that the phone vendor email app always successfully auto-configures. It seems that everyone except Google has figured out how to do this correctly.

You can first let something like the oem email all run, then go look at the settings a day then manually reproduce them in the kitkat app. In my case I needed to specify the server as webmail.company.com and select the "all certificates" option.
However, it appears that I was wrong in my claim that the stock kitkat email apk threads. That is not the case.
Nine actually looks quite good, and just when I was wondering how they can afford to give away such a sophisticated polished app I noticed that there is a silent 7 day trial, after which it is pay to play. Seems to be worth the $10.
1st impression of Nine is very good. Paid for the $10 license less than 10 min after installing it.

It does look very good and the support is incredibly responsive. There is a bit of mystery Engrish in the menu items and some of the settings and UI are far from logical but that is a small price to pay for the functionality.
Do any of these apps integrate exchange emails into appointments on your regular calendar automatically?
Also I'm looking for one that doesn't make me put a ridiculous password on my phone.

Nine allows for this. Exchange and appointments into regular calendar. You are given the choice of applying security at the app level instead of the device level. So you only have to enter PIN when opening the app...not when unlocking the device.
There is an app called Enhanced Email that allows you to bypass security completely.

There are also a number of modules for Xposed that let you do the same at the OS level. The one I like best is called Lockscreen Bypass
I use Mailwise and it works great!

unfortunately im on ART

what email application are you using?

For years I've used Gmail as my primary email app. And lately it seems worse than ever. Emails seem shower then normal, it will notify me even when the emails are syncing (annoying), and then takes a long time send. And now since their latest update, I have 2 apps for Gmail in my tray. What email app do others use I'm curious.
BlueMail. It's free, and basically perfect.
I use gmail, works flawlessly

Do you have any issues such as a duplicate icon?
This question is as old as Android..
I think I have been on all of them, free and paid. There isn't one that has no issues. All of them has great features. Some of them have better security, and the bottom line is, they are all not bad.
Now days, surprisingly, I'm back to the Samsung built in email app. Even my Gmail is on it ..

, no just one
I think Nine is the best (check Play). It's not free but there's a trial you can test. Very flexible, great features, and fast. I have no connection to the dev (s) - just a happy user.

Samsung email on the device is tolerable. I have messed with Newton and Spark as well. They all have their +/-, but I miss inbox.

I use gmail.
No issues here. Works fine.
Stock and Outlook for company mail.
The best one is AquaMail

Tons of options. Amazing app.
BlueMail is the best Gmail replacement will never go back
I went from MailDroid (pro) over to Outlook. I loved maildroid, but the UI is/was very overdue for an update. Outlook has been a great replacement, and it integrates well with my PCs.
I'm using Spike email. It's very different. You can have the email format appear as a text thread. Also, I really love the oled black theme. Before this, I used Spark. And before that I enjoyed Bluemail.
I use Bluemail.
I have about 7 different email addresses and some are not Gmail accounts.
Bluemail has an export accounts option so when I switch devices I don't have to re enter all the addresses on the new phone.
Aquamail for me too

I agree, although at the present I am using default email app, I agree that nine mail is perhaps the best with lots of personalisation and works well with exchange mail, what is an important feature for me

This! Nine is by far the best and most flexible email app out there. Same here btw, just a happy user ?
I'm using Fairmail, it comes with very good privacy roles and features and has cool features.
I tried Spark when it came out bit went back to Gmail. Then saw Spark made some updates and went back to it and I don't think I will use another app again. Now that it has dark mode and you can create folders. It is the closest thing to Inbox (RIP).
