Here are the things about android email that I think are great:
1. the interface, of course
2. its handling of imap: when you look at the home screen, you see the list of your imap folders. these are not downloaded folders; when you click on a folder, it then pulls the headers for the messages in that folder, and when you click on the email message, it then pulls that email. this is in contrast to Pocket outlook, which has to sync whole folders and pull all the headers or emails at once. Android handles the pulling of headers and emails and folders very well on the fly, so wait time is minimal
For me this is ideal: you can access all email on your imap server without spending time with discrete syncing. Discrete syncing of all folders takes a long time if you have lots of email and folders, and drains your battery significantly if you have an automatic sync schedule.
So, can we do this - port android email to win mo? Or would it be a re-write from the ground up of the linux software for win mo?

this is not the Q&A Forum !!!
i felt this was not so much a "how to" question, or a "my software won't work" question, but a "can we" for developers that fit better here. If I'm wrong, is it possible to move to the questions forum? If I'm right, let's figure out if we can do this.
Mods will delte this post, just create a new thread in the Q&A Forum
hmm, I set my out look to download as soon as the email arrives on their servers, so I get my email email almost instantly.
I have never seen that androids email in action but when I see my friend tomorrow I'll take a look at it. still G1's email doesn't seem all much handy to me , still it seems that method would save some data though.

From when I press the hardware e.mail button on my TyTN, it takes a good 10 seconds before the inbox will show. This is very frustrating. Is it normal to do this? Or is there a weird setting that I need to adjust to optimize my inboxes. They're not really that full or anything. It does it for all my inboxes regardless if it's my pop3, sms, text, etc....
Anyone? How long does it take for your inbox to show up on screen after you press the hardware e.mail button? Instant? 1 second? Mine takes 10+ seconds... this can't be normal.

Finally a reply. Thank you.
So now I know there's something wrong with mine.... is this somewhat of a common problem?
Mine is almost instant as well. Without knowing much about your specific OS, Etc, I would recommend that you, like with any other computer, make sure there are no viruses onboard, and also defrag as first steps
about 2 seconds on a Rogers tytn with a lot of mail and contacts in the databases.
If you're having performance issues, I recommend a PIM backup, hard-reset and re-install of desired software.
It almost doubled my machine's speed and freed up a lot of ram.
I've done a hard reset already and it continues.
I've done an antivirus scan. All is clean.
It's not the hardware key specifically, if I launch the program from the programs menu, it is still excessively slow to launch.

Someone is having problem with this tool i think is perfect like alternative to Pocket Outlook but every time i send a message the receiver miss the BODY of the MAIL (like I'm sending just the subject) think has to be something in the setting but i try and no way to have this fixed.....thanks to everyone.....
i don't know what it can be. Try sending an email to yourself first that'll arrive on your phone.
Then try sending it to one of your web based accounts, and see how that works.
But i am guessing if it's going to a phone like yours, then it's probably on their end the problem is occurring. I have been using flexmail for a few weeks and no problems so far.
I use FlexMail on my 6700 and my 6800 without any issues.
Highly recommended!!!
i have this problem with Gmail on my mogul. i have it set up using the IMAP server, i'm not sure which end is having the problem. luckily i can just pull up IE and go to gmail and read the body that way.
edit: i'm not using Flexmail btw, but i heard this was supposed to fix this kind of thing ???
I've used Flexmail for a couple of years and must say it's by far the best email application available for the Windows Mobile platform.
Some of the best features are:
Support for HTML email
Support for Exchange, POP3, IMAP4
SSL, Socks, and Full Authentication SMTP Support
Rules engine to custom sort incoming email

As far as I know, there is no free utility that syncs your Notes to your Exchange mail server directly. You have to cradle with your PC and then your PC syncs with Exchange. Or if you are a Smartphone user, you don't have a Notes application at all.
So I wrote an application to sync Notes using the Exchange Web Service.
Enjoy:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/2008/08/day-3-outlook-notes-mobile.html
I've only tested it across a couple different Exchange servers, and people's deployments vary quite differently, so I have no gaurantee that it will work for you! Lots of companies block access to the Exchange Web Service. Good luck!
Nice idea...
Does this sync exsisting notes or only the ones created with your application?
Existing notes (if they are on the Exchange server) will work as well.
Works nicely - few suggestions
1) support for hand drawn notes
2) Support for note sub folders in exchange
3) Auto sync on open/close of app?
4) GUI - would it be possible to replicate a notepad, much like the iPhone (See below)
5) Ability to delete notes from the WM device
Achieve these things and I guarantee everyone will replace windows mobile notes with your app - which in supporting exchange itself is already better than what is installed by default.
Hello,
does Outlook Notes Mobile work with Exchanger Server 2003? I keep getting WebException error....
I apologize in advance if this question has been asked before, but, I absolutely HATE how the stupid samsung calendar is the default cal when making new events! I SWEAR THEY ARE STILL STUCK IN FEATURE PHONE WORLD! ahem, sorry for the outburst. Any way, is three a way to change that?
i'd like to know too.

X2 ^^ ... one feature that I missed the most that was on my G1 is the hyperlink of URL, address & phone number.
Especially the hyperlink for address, I drive around town alot for work, and plan my destinations on Calendar the night before. Not having the hyperlink to address has been a PITA.
s0niqu3 was able to push the stock 2.1 apps on to the Vibrant. Check out his post below. I haven't tried it out myself though.

Yeah nothing is more frustrating than putting in the address and when you want to navigate to it, it well doesn't work.
More specifically:
Replace touch wiz calendar with google default

That bar on top pisses me off, but I would rather have a tiny annoyance than using the TouchWiz calendar.
Follow the directions though, you have to remove the TouchWiz Calendar and TouchWiz Calendar Provider FIRST with a root file explorer or ADB (which I never got working), and then uninstall the residuals from Settings>Applications. THEN push/move the two apk's in the linked thread to system/app, then reboot.
You will lose access to a few TouchWiz widgets, and the home dock app won't work.
Hi,
I'm using two email account on the Samsung client,
I would like to have a notification on the widget, so I could only open one in which I have new messages..
To have a notification for new email I must use Social Hub..
I know Gmail (Google client) has the notification in the widget...
Is it possible that Samsung did not think to add the widget of the notification email?

Mine shows a notification number,which will add up depending on how many unread emails there are.
here is a screeShot:
This is what Android is kicked for when compared to iOS. Not only are there thousands of devices behaving differently, but the same app in same device having small differences! (is it because of firmware upgrade)?
Lol what? I call it user error. If you add you account individually through the shortcuts, you wont get any notifications. If you add the actual app from the app drawer you will get notifications. Its been like that since the sgs2 and maybe original sgs. Im pretty sure the OP knows but theres also a widget for regular email app that you cant swipe through.
Even though our forum section is a little slow on development, you might want to check out the sgs2 section to see if anyone modded the email app. There basically the same phone.
