I have 2 email servers on my android phone. Active Sync and Imap folders.
Active Sync emails are in HTML format. Looks fine however the same email on my imap account comes through as plain text. All HTML raw code.
Very ugly.
Can I force HTML on IMAP?

For those who use Gmail and had problem with IMAP before, this is now fixed! I'd just tested it on my Vogue, and the problem of not seeing HTML body of HTML emails is no longer happening.
IMAP access is much better than POP. Google 'IMAP vs POP' for more detail...
Yup, it’s true… I can confirm that this bug is fixed. I am using IMAP with my “Google Apps” account and it’s finally working just fine.
Now if only Google would implement their own home-grown fully compatible version of Microsoft’s “DirectPush” technology we could all synchronize our email, contacts, and calendar we wouldn’t need Exchange Server anymore
RE
you can always use MAIL2WEB.
my gmail email gets fowarded there and then the syncs wirelessly with my touch. also sync tasks, contacts, calendar and all.
works pretty good
The main problem with MAIL2WEB is that it uses Exchange 2003. That means you don't get HTML messages. IMAP can.
I have my wife and my phones syncing with our Exchange server. The problem we are running into is that the mail app doesn't display HTML e-mail correctly. It shows the simple text version of the mail. This causes problems with some links that my wife receives for her work from the MLS realty website. They are long, complicated links and the mail app doesn't mark them as links correctly so that they can be opened. I even tried to copy and paste out the URL, but I couldn't find any way to copy and paste from within mail. Am I missing something, or is there really no way to copy and paste from mail? Also, how can I enable the mail app to view HTML mail?
Bump......
Just as a followup to my own question...
The HTML mail problem with Exchange is only with Exchange 2003. I added an account hosted on an Exchange 2007 server and it displayed HTML mail fine. I even found a whitepaper from Microsoft that mentions one of the new features of Exchange ActiveSync in Exchange 2007 to be syncing of HTML mail, so it is on the server end. The iPhone mail app and Touchdown for Android both display HTML mail from an Exchange 2003 server fine, so they are doing something to overcome this limitation.
Does the default email client on the Epic have the ability to view images in emails?
I'm searching for a "Display Pictures/Images" button or option but I can't find one. All of my emails that are HTML based look like crap.
What am I missing?
It works for me out of the box. Perhaps your mail server is converting the email before sending them to the device. What type of email account are you connecting to?
It is happening on both my Exchange server and my Hotmail. Both are setup as "Corporate" email accounts in Android.
Have you done sync from those accounts before with another phone and had html work?
I done some more research and it appears to be a short coming of the version of EAS (Exchange Active Sync) that Microsoft choose to implement (2.5).

From what I've read it appears that the protocol disables the show images/HTML email functionality in the mail client.
I guess my Exchange account (2010) does work correctly. Just the Hotmail.
I might change Hotmail back to hot being EAS so that I can view HTML emails. I have to research that.
I see. I figured the problem was on the serverside. Hotmail I can't not think hotmale when I hear that anymore.
So now I gotta ask... is there a better way to check hotmail from Android than using the EAS?

Follow these settings, add an exchange account to the default email client.
Before push worked, but emails didn't have HTML, now they do.
Hey
I use the Thunderbird client on my PC to manage my emails from 4 different accounts. The same four accounts have been setup on my DHD's email client.
I want to be able to synchronize the emails on my Thunderbird client with the ones on my DHD. As a result my DHD email client gets the update email list from all four accounts depending on my emails lying in my Thunderbird client. How would I do that ?
Cheers
MJ
Check out if your E-Mail Provider is capable of providing e-mail via IMAP.
With IMAP instead of POP your Mails are stored online (make sure that mails can be stored online for a unlimited time) + offline (if you like).
Thy will be synced at each login (or 5min or so, depending on the settings in your mail client).
I use IMAP with three e-mail accounts via two pcs, two notebooks, a tablet and, of course, my DHD (K-9 Mail)
I have four email accounts (google, hotmail, Univeristy, Work)
Googlemail can do IMAP.
So how do I set this up ?
