Follow these settings, add an exchange account to the default email client.
Before push worked, but emails didn't have HTML, now they do.

im trying to figure out if android supports push imap (not gmail) on the standard email app?
That would be a no.
You'd have to do what everyone else... forward your email to gmail.
The only problem is that the mail app doesn't let multiple from addresses so you are stuck with the @gmail.com address
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?
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?
So I was planning on using K9 in place of the stock email client but low and behold it appears that K9 and hotmail don't play nice together. I can only seem to get hotmail connected as a POP3 account. Does anyone know if there is any way to get K9 connected to hotmail as either IMAP or exchange?
I've tried manually setting it up as IMAP and Exchange with m.hotmail.com and m.live.com as the server with the default ports but nothing seems to be working.
Suggestions along the lines of forward mail to gmail, gmail is better, etc etc that don't involve K9 connecting to hotmail directly are not necessary. I know all of the other "options" but I need to either connect K9 to hotmail directly or not use k9 and stick with the stock email client (which I'm hoping I can switch to k9).
Well it appears that NO ONE has figured it out because K9 (and the paid Kaiten) don't support Exchange ActiveSync which newer versions of exchange and apparently Hotmail Exchange uses.
So anyone have another email replacement client that is as good as K9 that I could consider to replace the stock mail app? Requirements are the ability to connect directly to hotmail, a couple IMAP servers and a corporate Exchange server all at the same time with a unified inbox.
