I've found the built-in app a bit lacking, and I really want to do is do be able to turn off and off the receiving of new messages - something that iPhone users can do by default. If I go out, I should be able to receive new mail - or not. It's my choice. Is there a mail client app to do this? I've added my email details, but it seems the only way stopping the receipt of emails is my the delete the whole account, and I'm not delete/re-setting my account all the time!

you can just turn off the internet !!!!
or there is a setting for manual update only
in settings, sync, disable automatic sync for gmail
You could use Setting Profiles or Tasker to do this. EDIT: there is also a Setting Profiles Lite
just set it to manual update, therefore so long as you dont open them ail client, it wont refresh?

wow.. overkill
have you tried looking in settings? lol
Hey so Im going to college again and I get like 10-15 emails a day from my professors and I dont always have my laptop with me(1 of the reason I bought the x10).
Anyway I tried to set up an e-mail account with AOL, it worked fine so I have that working. But the other email account with Michigan State University... there was a problem, so if anyone else knows how to set it up any help would be appreciated.
Oh and Im using the email app that the x10 shipped with nothing from the market.
I don't use the stock email app, but you would basically just go to create a new account, enter your email and password, then when it asks for like Incoming Server Settings, Outgoing Server Settings, etc., just find them on this page:
http://techbase.msu.edu/article.asp?id=224
I know it says it's for Outlook, but all of the settings are the same, they might just not appear in the same order.
Hope that was what you need?
mm well what i did was google my schools name with outlook or thunderbird
and i got links on what port to use and the servers
You have a strangely close relationship with your professor to be getting that many emails a day...

well got it working, thanks guys.
but its loading really really slow, anyone got an idea why?
and yetep, i dont have a close relationship with my professors, my school has 46,000 people attending. so its very hard to communicate with everyone except using email especially when one class can have up to 500 people in it.
and i only get 0-3 emails a day from my professors and that too is mainly during exam weeks, but i get a lot of other emails which are important such as events that are going on, etc...
Christ, it was a joke dude , lighten up ;-) I understand lol
Hello -
I am a newbie here. I today got my Samsung Galaxy S. I have rooted it and applied the lag fix. It is super fast and very cool.
** Problem **
Now I am coming from the Blackberry Bold background. I am having trouble configuring the email setup on Galaxy.
I have 1 Exchange Account, 2 IMAP accounts and 1 Gmail account.
Gmail account was setup automatically the second I went to the Android Market place.
I tried setting up one IMAP account using the default Email application with mixed results. It downloaded the messages, so settings were correct. However, it is extremely slow. Further, I could not find any settings to sync say upto last 3 days only. It simply kept showing me "Load More messages"...
I am also wary that I do not have the choice to store messages on the internal 8GB SD card which shipped with the phone.
I haven't tried anything with Exchange yet.
Push email is a MUST for me. I do not want to return the phone as everything else seems to be super cool. But I do need to get emails, contacts and calendar working in harmony.
I would be extremely grateful if someone could help or point me in the right direction.
Many thanks.
The email app is really bad. you have to use the gmail app, which I also don't really care for. You cannot copy text from messages, viewing attachments is a pain (compared to iphone). K9 email is better than the stock app, but still to many bugs, so i went back to gmail.
Learn to live with gmail app or return the phone. Jorte calendar works good thought, but I really miss the nice iphone email app. Maybe some update will make the email app less buggy, but it is a very far step behind iphone email.
For a smartphone, it is essential that email/contacts/calendar work in harmony. I think the email is a major let down especially when compared with Blackberry.
I have exported all my contacts and calendar to Gmail. Will see how that pans out.
Will try out K9 email.
I use K-9 Mail. It's a free app available on the market. Much better support and options than the default email client. Give it a try.

1st i do apologize if this is in the wrong section and I have looked around the site and found 5 more posts on this subject but no answer but i will go ahead anyway!!
I was on Froyo 2.1 on my Galaxy S i cant say anymore than that because once i was home i updated via Kies i believe it is to Froyo 2.2 XXJPO base version I9000XXJPP, All i did was update via kies and i changed nothing else!!
in 2.1 and social hub it showed my facebook, messages and both my hotmail accounts, since updating it only shows facebook and messages, i can not for the life of me get it to show my hotmail accounts anymore, this as been for well over 24hrs now
I also have a gmail account that is my main account and my push account, should that be in social hub because it is not??
my hotmail accounts are set to never download, well manual download!! which i have done!
but it would be nice to get all of my things in social hub again!!
does anyone have any ideas to what i could do other than maybe going back to froyo 2.1 because it did work on that build!!
kind regards and have a great day!!

Hey Chris, I can't help you bud, but wanted to let you know you're not alone. I have exactly the same issue. It used to be a really useful app, but now I don't use it at all.
Not much of an 'upgrade' is it? I've seen other post in various places that they have the same problem, maybe it's a google thing, trying to push people into using gmail??
Did you try adding your Hotmail accounts via Contacts ->Activities ->Menu->Add account->Corporate account (for any thing other than Gmail).
I have them working fine on my SGS 2.2
Your accounts will appear in Social hub when you have added them using the 'Samsung Email' app. You should have three email apps, Gmail, Email and Samsung Email, only accounts added and used through the Samsung email app will appear in Social Hub.

I really appreciate the post mate, at least I know im not alone
Just bugs the hell out me that it worked, I upgraded and now nothing!
I read someone say it just started working for them a few hours after it stopped so I hope that could happen to me but still no luck as yet.
As for adding accounts via contacts, I tried that, it just takes me to accounts & sync I think it is and I added my hotmail via corporate and selected push and had all working fine but still nothing in social hub, sorry I could not quote the post above this, but sure how to quote multiple posts on this app.
should my gmail account show up social hub?

I have no idea what the samsung email app is, I was lead to believe that to get them in social hub we have to add email in the email app, little white envelope with the green @ sign which I did in 2.1 and all worked but in 2.2 I did exactly the save but but working, I have never added via samsung email and I had it working on froyo 2.1
I don't have a samsung app
Of course I can live without it, just it really bugs me that it worked but now won't and now only shows message and facebook even though I have gmail and 2 other hotmail accounts set up on my SGS
Thanks for all your replies guys.

Hello I just switched from HTC Desire (very good phone) to the SGSII (Better)...
And i am quite happy with my desicion. I have only two things that are a problem right now.
1. I am missing the Sense Mail widgets.
2. GPS Inaccuracy.
So my questions are:
1. Mail widget...
I am looking for a mail widget that binds to a specific account. So i have 4 email accounts and i want to bind the widget to one of them.
So if I want to use all mail accounts I will have to place 4 widgeds and configure them for each maill account. And preferebly they should show the subject.
2. GPS inaccuracy in Navigon
I was driving a road and where my desire had pinpoint accuracy, the Sammy thought I was about 60 meters to the right, and started to bark all kind of instructions to get back to the road (where i already was on)....
So anybody can help me? (Need mail widget the most) the widgets from launcher pro are what i need but I wat to jump to the correct mail client (that shows the message as it should be) Launcher pro has it's own mail renderere and that's not what i want.
The GPS in SGS2 works very well for me, so that is not a general issue.
But maybe the circumstances were bad at the time, you can only compare with Desire if you had it with you at at the same time, because satellites are moving and weather is changing etc.
Did you have big buildings close to the roads? That can cause disturbances.
Do you have A-GPS enabled? (enable "use wireless networks" in Location settings menu).
Can you explain why you would not want to push all your different email accounts from where-ever to one Gmail account and only use that one?! There should be plenty of gmail widgets on the market.

1. Hotmail is my privat email.
2. Exchange is corporate with required pin
3. Gmail = rubbish mail....
So I only want to be notified when I receive a Private or corporate mail....
and if i look, i want to see private or corporate depending on what I am doing.
Maybe I am a bit old, but i don't want a unified inbox. I want it organized as it was on my HTC.
I could do thi son my HTC without rooting and it worked like a charm....
I Really like the speed and screen of the SGII but i really do miss my Sense widgets...
I have spend a lot of money in the appstore opnly to get this functionality, I tried a lot, Pure Messenger widget and everything... Needed root, but could not read my exchange mail, uninstall and find the mail app broken, had to flash (now on KG2)
But a HTC has this functionality out of the box with no extra charge.....
How is Gmail rubbish when you can have all those corporate mail and hotmail and whatnot in there and they are not unified but you can access them separately via the gmail app? To me it seems that you are just stuck to 90's
Edit *i have my own business mail account there (own domain), my second work (work for another company) mail there (2 domains) and my personal gmail there. I also have multiple different email addresses from my own business there unified for a seperate account. All organised and working like a ****ing BOSS!

Sucks to be him then.. like it takes 2 secs to setup account [email protected] and have all your work **** ([email protected], [email protected]) pushed there. HE can also answer with the original address etc etc. He just old fashioned and stuck on his ways, lol.

Well are you telling me that it is possible to have google sync with exchange and get contacts mail, calender and all the good stuff and not have the lockstreen policy ?
I am not old fashioned, but I use hotmail for mail and google for searches.....
No need to give them all info......
But..... If it is possible to have google read my Excahnge account so i do not have that dumb policy enforced on my pone i would consider a switch.
And i guess you are telling me it's possible ?......

There is an app called touchdown for exchange mail, works pretty well and you won't be enforced to set a pin to the lock screen. You just need to set a pin to open the app.

I think you have to try Copilot Live navigator it's perfect for me...

Well........
Do i get my contacts, my calender and stuff also in g-calender, i have been looking a bit and i see no way to get an automated sync between our corporate Exchange Server and Gmail.....
Not everything is as simple as you think.... Oh wait..... for you it probably is..... (but that's probably due to a lack of processing power.....)
If I would give you 1% of my thoughts your brain would probably overload....
Now buddy, be a real budddy and show me how it's done...... ( and then i will say you were right and apologize ) otherwise, go and bother some other thread with that 1 brain cell of yours !

Its just for exchange email, it can sync your exchange calender, tasks and everything else exchange related.
I doesn't work as messenger, just email.

Thanks for your help !.
I tried it and I still could not read the Hotmails.....
So Installed KG2 firmware, rooted it, wiped etc.....
And now Pure messenger is able to read the default mail accounts so my problem is solved.
But thanks for your help anyway !
