[Q] White background in stock email inbox? - Desire Themes and Apps

I use Exchange, and the stock Android email app is working perfectly. The only problem is that the inbox is grey font on black background which is both hard to read and very ugly!
Long story short: I've tried other mail apps such as Maildroid and K9, but they don't work well with Exchange. Sense mail isn't any good either since I'm on Oxygen (otherwise this is a perfect mail app!). So for the time being I'm using Touchdown, but that's just too much (includes calendar etc), and it doesn't work with Jorte, so I have to use the stock Exchange sync anyhow. Hence I would like to stick with stock email, but then we have the black background...
Does anyone know a way to change the inbox look on the stock mail app? Perhaps someone has a modified apk they would like to share?

Alternative email apps - Exchange Sync

Hi I am looking into alternate email apps. I use exchange server 2007 and would like to ability to search all mail for my account on the server not just those downloaded to the handset).
I believe Active sync on WinMob does this already.
Also is there an app or a way to change the existing app to store all mail on the SD Card so I can sync my entire mailbox (sent items, sub folders etc.) and not just the inbox?
I can recommend you Touchdown for Exchange from Nitrodesk. In my opinion there isn't a better soft for using Exchange on Android.

Have you got this running on the Desire ? Can't find it on the market, only the license.
Activesync or Outlook 200-
Hi all
I'm trying this app as Iwanted to be able to access folders. Whats the best to use Activesync or exchange 2003 ?
Many thanks
Yes, it works on Desire. Paying for licence is also needed, but worth of it.
Search for "Nitrodesk" on Market and you will surely find it.
Goodluck, Michael

Also take a look at RoadSync from Datawiz. The best looking app, with the best integration.
If you're using Exchange, what exactly is the problem with the default Mail app? It syncs to Exchange, and syncs contacts, mail, and calendar.

Apparently it depending on your MS Exchange version.
We have 2003 and the default doesn't let you search the GAL. Also no ability to remotely wipe the device. I also had strange issues with sending mail either failing or being sent multiple times.
I think Nitrodesk is butt ugly.
Try MoxierMail
Looks like the default mail app so fits the theme of the phone, the widget is VERY pretty.
And unlike the default mail app like someone asked, you can sync tasks!

I have a 2007 exchange server and use Push. When using the default mail app, mail disappears from the Desire, it's still on the server and shows up in Outlook. I've lost 100's of mails at a time. It happens when a sync is in progress and you move from one data connection to another i.e. GPRS to 3G or to Wi-Fi or back again.
I've been using touchdown for about 10 days, and it's working much better - no missing mail but read and deleted mails aren't always updated, but that's better than them disappearing.
Thanks for theheads up on Moxier.. not heard of that one.
Q. which of these, TouchDown, Moxie, RoadSync handles Subfolders the best. ie i want to be notified if any email goes to any folder and not just the INBOX. ideally id like to quickly see UNREAD emails in one place (regardless of which folders they reside).
At the moment the default HTC client doesnt sync subfolders until you go into each one

I was getting annoyed by exactly the same thing! I had set up filters and labels on my Gmail account, but on my Desire I would only get notifications for mails arriving in my inbox.
I installed Touchdown the other day, and after a bit of fiddling with the settings have found that it does exactly what I/we want! It will alert at any mails that arrive (you select which folders to sync in the settings and it checks them all at) and you can set it to view all mails, regardless of the folders.
Would definitely recommend so far!

How can I use Hotmail to exchange and view the HTML email.

Good morning friends. I'm not able to get my hotmail email is viewed in HTML format. I can not access the option where it is marked: Just text.
Can anyone help me.
After the experience of e-mail today without HTML is seriously injured.
Accepted options even paid. Since use my hotmail.
I appreciate the help as always.

Touchdown does allow hotmail access with push (activeSync) and HTML viewing apparently
But it's not free
For my part I use the 2.2 stock email client extracted from a nexus one to have push mail on hotmail (I have a custom domain), as the htc client isn't able to do it due to a bug (even after the latest OTA). But it is in plain text, no html rendering...

Does it have to be a nexus one? Ive got a stock 2.2 mail app but its hit and miss whether not push works
dunno... But the version I use does push very well (5 accounts on it, all receiving mail in less than 30 sec...)

Latest OTA solved this. However, it's still in plain text.
Yup latest update works with hotmail, however no HTML and also a buggy refresh problem as well.
Not usable for me: looping on the first message, I never get the others...
HTC still got some work on it...
Exchange Hotmail and HTML
Don't waste your time. The exchange hotmail doesn't permit to read html emails.
You'll have to wait that Microsoft update exchange, and if it takes the same time that they took to implement exchange, we'll have to wait 5 or 6 years...
That's completely not true.
Touchdown seems to work with html emails on Hotmail.
So definitively it's an htc issue.

Hi All,
How can I make this update or find info about it?
Just bought the device (had TouchPro before) and found out that hotmail exchange won't work with HTC mail
I need exchange for contacts sync, so I installed the stock android email program like some others.
Having two mail programs isn't really good.
I am very new to this device and android..
Thanks
Eren B.
You'd better use the Mobile version of Windows Live Hotmail which can be accessed here: http://m.mail.live.com
You have to sign in once and after that Android will save your credentials.
I did it also and made a shortcut on my home screen, so when I click on that shortcut, my Hotmail will be loaded. Works fine, better than with the built-in Android Mail client.
Thanks but I can not use the web-version to sync my contacts..
I personally only use the stock email app with 5 hotmail accounts (even on my own custom domain), and no pb to sync contacts.
I simply ignore the htc lame app until they fix it...
What's the status of this issue with the new gingerbread OTA? (can't test it as I'm on a biz trip in the US)

I´ve tried with Hotmail EAS and the new OTA Update today.
It failed for me.
It synced only new emails and after i readed these emails it will never mark as read.
Now i will use Enhanced Email that works fine, i cannot understand where HTC has the problem to fix it
To stop the refresh bug happening change the days to sync from the default 3 days to 1 day.
I use the stock gingerbread htc mail app, push exchange on hotmail and everything works well apart from HTML which annoys me badly.

What will affect this setting exactly : will you still keep the old messages in the phone? Does it just stop to sync the read/deleted status after 1 day old?
My phone is actually using 1 month sync in the stock mail app, but I've seen that the phone keeps all mails forever...
I've tried your settings:
It is OK with mail push indeed, and contacts are OK too.
But I get many sync errors, they last many minutes draining battery, and I've noticed that many times, my read mails are not marked as read on the computer.
=>For me it is still buggy and not really usable.
I'll continue to use the stock mail app. Curently I'm using the froyo one with no pb (except no HTML), does anyone have the Gingerbread one? is it worthy to change?

HD2 Android and email notifications

Hi
I've been trying to find an email notification widget for my homescreen, just something that adds an unread count 'bubble' for accounts other than gmail, but without luck. Does anyone know if this is possible? I know I can get notifications in the status bar, but I often have that hidden so I can easily miss unread mails.
Also does anyone know of a decent push mail client? Its often hours before I get email on my phone...
Cheers!
Decent mail client.. well depends of what e-mail provider you are using
I personally use Hotmail, and Touchdown "exchange for android" is brilliant.
It works also for any exchange/activesync account.
if you want to show the unreaded e-mails in the home screen, just create a little widget 1x1.
other clients which are good are K-9 e-mails and the stock mail app.
for me, touchdown is better than anything else
hope it helps
I'd not heard of Touchdown, I'll be sure to check it out, as my main account is Hotmail too. I tried K9, but sometimes emails would come hours late...same with the stock email app...
Thanks!

Email Client, don't want to use Gmail

Hey all,
So, I guess there was an update where Gmail takes over the native email client. Thing is, I don't want to use Gmail to manage the mail, I want to use the regular one. In the instructions on how to get Gmail out, is says to go to accounts, then select the POP/IMAP accounts you don't want managed by Gmail. I don't have that option, for me, Gmail is everywhere. When I try to add an account, it's Gmail.
Any idea on the Moto how I can go back? Uninstall Gmail? And any idea why the Moto Mail app is incompatible with the Moto X Pure?
Thanks
Apparently Moto came up with another one, but it shows as incompatible so far.......another waiting game i suppose.

Gmail app somehow borked up my yahoo email in gmail app, when yahoo email forced a password change. Couldn't get it to work anymore and couldn't remove the instance of yahoo email from the app/accounts either. Sometimes I think Google intentionally sets things up to not work very well with competitors' stuff like this.
I'm using K-9 mail app for yahoo email now, works well enough for me.
Not seeing the moto email client on play...
I just gave up on pre installed mail apps altogether and have been using CloudMagic client as my default. Odd name I know, but its easily one of the best email clients I've used on android.
I just started using blue mail and really like the looks and feel. I used kaiten forever but it started giving me problems with this phone.

I actually prefer to keep my emails separate. I use yahoo app for Yahoo mail. Gmail for my gmail accounts. Outlook for exchange and my Hotmail account.
I like it organized and separated better that way. Especially since I have two business accounts it helps to keep it organized and my exchange accounts always sync perfect via outlook

I never use pre-installed email or Gmail client. Big fan of K-9 app. Give K-9 and other apps mentioned here a try, you may find one to your liking.

Always used k9 myself. TypeMail as show some promise lately for me as well.
I use inbox on phone gmail on computer.

Another vote for K-9 Mail.
My issue with CloudMagic (if I remember correctly), they store your emails on their servers. They also spam you with ads unless you specifically opt-out.
You have to have an outside link to view the Moto email client on the play store. I wonder why it's not compatible with their flagship phone? I also would like to use this app.
For my work exchange account, Outlook is doing OK so far. But I'd sure like to find a way to force the new Moto mail app onto our devices.
I use Nine for exchange.

Does nine or k9 allow you to bypass exchange security like mailwise?
Thanks for all the suggestions, but has anyone found an answer to the original question? how do I default back to the stock email client on the Moto? The instructions Google provides don't match with what I see on my screen...
Thanks
the moto email client used to be the AOSP email client, until google made gmail app handle all mail types from what i understand. You would have to root and unlock to get the old AOSP mail app.
Theres a new moto mail app that is supposed to be on the new droid coming out but it shows incompatible for our pure, maybe in the future that will be available.

Email application

Hi all,
This is just a question that i have, and i want to know your opinion.
I have Office 365 as per my work and i use a lot also gmail, so it means i have 2 main emails.
I use Gmail app for gmail and outlook app for my work email and I want to have both togethers in one email app that can synch the contacts from the email and the calendar too (like outlook and gmail)
I am thinking in start using the Samsung Email since I'm going to update to Nougat. Can anybody share experience with email apps? Do you recommend to have both in one app? Samsung email is good app? Better is to have both in outlook? In Gmail app?
Thanks !
Blu Mail is a good app. With lots of customization. Not hundred percent itll suit your need but take a look.

I use the Samsung app. No worries or issues. I have a private mail account(pop 3), gmail and work email (Exchange). What is nice is when creating the accounts you can specify from which account it must be sent by default. If you use the widget, you can change it to show either one account of your choosing or a combined view of all 3. You can also have each account sync the way you want individually. Each account can have it's own notification sound.
best email app ever..samsung have the best mail app and in nougat its much better ..

Here's my opinion;
I also have two primary email accounts like you, a Gmail one for personal and an Office 365 one for work and I've been using these two apps for the last 6 months and I'm happy so far.
Gmail:
I use Inbox app and have done since it was launched, it's like Gmail but better I think, especially the UI. It works well and links in with Google Keep which I use daily therefore I doubt I'll ever sync my emails with a non Google app.
Office 365:
I use Nine app for Office 365 mainly for the customisation it offers, it's very similiar to the other ones mention above but after trialling it I found it was worthy of a purchase.
My main reason I originally purchased it was for the sub folder sync which was lacking in the deault Samsung email app, however since the Nougat update you can now do this.
I have also been using the default email app for last two days and even though it is now much better than the MM version I still prefer Nine as it just offers everything you can think of!
I hope this helps! :good:
