slow email read

sometimes it seems to stalling while fetching email.. even with the stallfix.... with standard rom, anyone has this lag too?

Me too. That's why I don't use it for mail anymore until I can find ways to speed it up. I also have problem setting up yahoo mail. Anyone knows how to do it?

Use k9 app for mail. It is better.
For yahoo try yahoo mail app.

about yahoo mail, but I want a universal mailbox, where all my 7 email accounts can be read within the same inbox. I like K9 more than stock mail, but it's still too slow for me.

For information how do you use the mail app ?
Frequency of sync, number of days/week/month of mail synced, number of mail displayed in the inbox ...
thanks

On your phone, manually enter the website http://mobile.live.com
That should bring you to the new version of the hotmail site.

I just tried the new hotmail website using dolphin browser, nice, it allows me to dl the attachment now.

same problem here

You can now forward your hotmail to any email address. I have mine forwarded to my gmail account and use gmail to read/reply. Works awesome.

I still don't understand why you aren't all using the mail app to sync with your Hotmail account.. I do ... and it works fine.

If I use the mail app to sync my hotmail account, it can only sync every 5 minutes. With Gmail, it is almost instantaneous (like push email).
I will get my hotmail email faster via forwarding to my gmail account that having the mail app check every 5 minutes.
That is why I do it via Gmail.

But why should you have to do this?
I should be able to goto the hotmail site and view emails like
I did before.
I don't understand the need to forward my msgs to another email addy when i already ahve one...that's crazy!
There must be a solution?

Hotmail site gives me a blank page on the default browser, however! it works on opera browser

Hotmail doesn't support push notifications on mobile devices (yet) Microsoft said this should be coming by the end of the year. Can't find the link atm, but shouldnt be too hard to google

Actually, it does but only on Windows Mobile devices. I used to have push with hotmail and Exchange at the same time with Windows Mobile.

Care to elaborate? Emails from Gmail are automatically pushed to the Android Gmail application.

using k9, any special instructions for imap?

Nothing special. Input your details into K9 and it takes care of the rest. Very easy. I use K9 for Gmail and prefer it over the Gmail app.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about Hotmail and Exchange using K9, I still don't think there is a solution for it. Stock Email app works fine with these new Exchange settings for Hotmail but doesn't do HTML, so it's useless. If anyone knows of a way, please let me know. I'd love to have all my email accounts consolidated into one in K9. Didn't mean to hijack this thread btw, getting Gmail to work in K9 is as simple as inputting your email and password, K9 will autoconfigure it.

I've had nothing but problems trying to setup hotmail as exchange vs regular pop3 in any email client so I just don't bother.
I have hotmail setup as pop3 in K-9 and I'm fine with it.

Yahoo mail working from stock email app

Ok, so I just wanted to share little-something with you guys here at XDA
As you probably know adding Yahoo mail from stock EMail app will not get you anywhere... BUT what I found working is next:
1) Go to Social hub app;
2) Add account type "other";
3) fill in your yahoo mail settings;
4) and yep, it will pass verification
5) yahoo mail will be automatically added to EMail app;
6) use your Yahoo mail without need for installing other email client
Greetings!

I setup using stock Email app itself without any problem. Did you tried the stock first?

Yahoo mail not giving push service when you add in stock email app.(b'coz yahoo doesn't support idle IMAP)
there is separate yahoo mail app on market by yahoo inc. Working fine for me with push mail support
Another third party client supports yahoo push service is seven mail.

I had no issue setting Yahoo up. If you use the default app auto setup it uses pop email. Don't use this use the manual option and setup as an imap email account. The settings are available with a quick google.

i tried adding yahoo in def mail client using auto and it didnt work. when added in described way auto gives samsung.imap.mail.yahoo.com for incoming mail client. so, this is quick way of adding yahoo without need for manual settings. i use yahoo as secondary email so this does the job.

When you mean default , I meant Samsung default email app. I used settings as Imap.mail.yahoo.com and smtp.mail.yahoo.com.
I then setup gmail and hotmail manually using the Microsoft exchange options and also had push email too if wanted.
So default Samsung email app works really well without using Google email app.

Stock email app only asked for my email address and configured my yahoo account automatically. Has worked fine since day 1.

I use the yahoo mail app for my note, I would love to use the stock email app but it does not support push notifications and I don't think its on yahoo's part for the push notifications as on my ipod I use the mail app and its push notifications work fine with my yahoo account so I'm thinking its the stock app that doesn't support push notifications and hopefully the email app has push notifications on ICS

[Q] Help with Gmail Application

Hello.
I am using the built in Gmail application and have a problem and a request:
1) When I'm viewing an email in my PC in Gmail site, the app syncs fine and it shows the email as read. Although, when I'm reading an email with a 3rd party app called "Sparrow" which is running by IMAP on my PC then the Gmail app in my device doesn't get updated until a new message arrives, but the Gmail website does update immediately. Can I do something to make the app updated even if I read the email with Sparrow?
2) Is there anyway to mark email as read from the notification bar?
Thank you very much!

Would appreciate some help

The Gmail app uses push so it syncs the phone app and account as soon as you do anything. Other apps using IMAP have to sync back to the server for the changes to become apparent. This is why I use the Gmail app for my Gmail and the stock app for POP3/IMAP email

But what's weird is that the Gmail website does sync with the IMAP app and the Gmail Android app doesn't - until a new message arrive, then it "refreshes" itself and mark the email I read as read.

Can't really offer a suggestions as the Gmail app does what I want it to!

I think it's all fixed, I've updated the IMAP app on my Mac.
Anyway, what about the "mark as read" when I read an email from the notification bar? Any tweak for that?

The new Gmail app has the option to Archive (which also marks it read) but don't know if that'll be of any use. It's fine for me as I can archive an email on my phone and Outlook 2013 still downloads it as a new email as it's the first time an email clients has downloaded it

So when you archive an email in your phone, Outlook just looks at it as a read email?

No, it downloads it as a new email cause I use POP3 in Outlook not IMAP
