Not as far as I know, hoping the 2.2 update brings with it a much better gmail app as 2.1 gmail sucks, much better to just use the website.

It is strange to me that gmail app on Android is so poor...
But generaly speaking the phone is really nice. I'd love to see the 2.2, hope it will improve the software things.

Agree with simonq ,
I spend hours trying to figure out how to copy and paste from gmail without any luck,
BUT, the good news is that you can login to gmail account from the browser then open any email click and hold within your email … it will highlight the text in green
Then you can copy and paste to other location.

Thanks for the tip,
Regards,
S.

Rootable?

Just got the X10 in black. Love the phone it's absolutely amazing, however the differences between 1.6 and 2.1 are noticeable.
Is there a possibility this phone will be rootable so we can load 2.1 on in the future?
Check XPERIA X10 Android Development-section.

Oh wowza. Totally overlooked that section. Thanks!
I heard one of the things about 1.6 is that you cant have multiple email accounts? Is this true? Total dealbreaker for me if so... I use my university and gmail accounts all the time on my current phone.
yeah, gmail app only let you have 1 acc, but i use k9 as well to push other accounts

So I'm confused as to what's different from this and my G1 with 1.6. I have synced my contacts and when I go to contacts from the home screen I see them all (with the little g next to them), but when I try to assign a ringtone to an individual contact as I did on my G1, it takes me to an empty contact list with no option to see my contacts. What's going on? Already getting tired of ToughWhiz getting in the way of my Android experience.
Niceee....of all the things I had trouble on it was this... I feel dumb lol

Doesn't work from google contacts. To assign ringtones to fiddler contacts I'm using Ringdriod. Anyone else has any solutions for google contacts?

Ringo Lite. It's a PITA to have to install a separate app but it works perfectly.

E-mail app on Froyo

Hey guys, I am still on eclair and have not so good stock email app. Is situation any better on froyo? Is the stock app better and faster?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Hi, email app sucks also on froyo, pretty rubbish. Give a try to k9 mail. I have not missed any functionality until now.
Cheers
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
OK,
the E-mail.apk in 2.2.1 is already (much) better in presenting HTML and way faster than the old one in 2.2 Froyo.
Also, there's SEVEN (search it via G**gle ), another mailclient which does well with HTML-emails, Samsung uses them in some regions so it can be had for free,
otherwise they have a Beta-program where yuo can DL a Samsung-version
Ann then there are the other Exchange / Email solutions like K9 etc.
But due to speed and navigation-arrows I'm now using the default (exchange) mail.apk from 2.2.1 The first time it's really workeable with approx. 100 emails per day coming in.
as right said, there is a better and free android email app..its not available in market.. you need to get it from seven.. I have posted detailed blog with screen shots and apk file . also the instructions .. pls. visit http://giztech.in
Could I instal that new version of samsung mail client on eclair? Is there apk to download?

Great! What about updates in the future (for issues i.e.)?
Be aware!!!!!!!!!!
This app sends international sms with cost!!!!!!
Don't install!!!!!!!!
Good to hear the the update froyo email is better, its shockingly slow at the moment!

"Better" email app?

Ok, This isn't so much SGSIII specific, but it'll be a major use for my new toy, err, phone once it arrives. The standard google email app in ICS isn't all that great (based on my CM9 usage on a tablet), and it completely sucks if you happen to be off-line, despite having tons of storage space available.
So, does anyone have some recommendations? Primary desire is support for:
1. Exchange (2010). Ideally the ability to go out and search for older emails not stored locally, actually download attachments ahead of time and store them (WinMobile 6.5 could do this, why not Android), search (localy cached) emails while off-line.
2. Support for imap with similar off-line search and attachment downloading
The current email app works ok except for search. I know I'm tained by some of the easy features in the WinMobile email app (can you tell I'm upgrading from a Touch Pro2 ) Of course, the benefits of Android have had me running Gingerbread on the TP2, but that doesn't mean I find all the apps great.
Check out touchdown exchange in the playstore.
Maildroid handles exchange. Not sure about all of the other stuff you are looking for.
I briefly used the HTC One XL email app and that was far superior to the one that comes with the S3. The biggest issue for me is that I am unable to select what folders to sync to my phone.

Maildroid only does WebDAV, it doesn't use ActiveSync which is the one most Exhange Servers use.
Touchdown or Moxier will be your best bet.
Enhanced Email. Well worth the $

Thanks all. Taking a look at Enhanced email (there's a 7 day trial version). Looks pretty similar to the base app, so still feeling out the differences.
Any others? Another feature I've been hunting is a calendar viewer that will grab the attachments that people put into meeting invitations
Another vote for touchdown. I think it's unbeatable for exchange email.

Get touchdown, it comes with a trial period also.

What's wrong with the stock mail app on the GS3? While not quite as good as the one on the HTC One X, it's up there and everything works the way you expect. You can even set it to show images by default, unlike the stock ICS app. It's similar to the Samsung e-mail app in Gingerbread with a few subtle changes and has a way better interface than Touchdown.
I have never had issues with Samsung's email app.

One thing I noticed today was that mail that has already been deleted from the server is still retained by the email app. The app on the Nexus would delete those automatically.
I just tested this. I deleted 2 emails from my Gmail account through my PC Web browser and watched them disappear off of my GS3, right in front of my eyes. We're talking not even 1 second.

Not the gmail app, the email app.
My only issue with the email app is how slow it is compared to many others - including the GS2 email app. Not only that, but every time I hit the home button from the email, everything has to refresh on my home screen. Gets old to watch everything refresh.

I'm talking about the email app. I have Gmail set up as an activesync exchange account, so all of my mail is in one place. My work email account behaves the same. No issues.

I hate all of these. I am an extensive Exhange user and tried all but went back to stock. Each has it's strength and weaknes but the way Touchdown stores contacts and the outdated interface didn't work for me. I wish we had the Htc One email client and spell checker because it is far superior.
Is this an app than can be separated from Sense?
Aqua mail is nice
I think it has the exchange stuff you're looking for

[Q] Push email on stock Rom unrooted

Dear friends...
One of the very few disadvantages of this fantastic device is that the stock email app doesnt support push for more than one hotmail account.
(or windowslive or live etc)
Appart from the main account, the others use manual fetch. (Only the time periods for fetch can be adjusted)
I've tested a number of apps and the only one that seems to be working properly with push and no problems is Touchdown HD.
The problem is that this app is a little expensive (after the 30 day trial)
Any other recommendations verified to be working?
Please keep in mind that for the time being I don't intend on rooting the device so all suggestions should be for the stock phone.
My device is the international version.
Thanks

I use outlook.com app for hotmail (official microsoft email app).
I syncs everything and gives you push email. However I dunno if it supports more than 1 account.

Great! A trick is to keep 1 account on default LG email app and the other on outlook.com app!

Wow! I just read the comments on the play store and they are horrible. I just remembered this is why I didn't download this app when I was looking. Someone even mentions that they blocked his account after some confusion. A bit of a gamble this one....

Update on my last comment:
The app (oulook) works great and looks just like I like it!!! Clean and minimalistic!!!
Not a lot of settings (like notification sound for example) but I dont care. Looks nice, push works fine!!!
For now, Im keeping it.
Thanks again
