While it may have no bearing on your issue, I found Dropbox and Android to be a little confusing until I realized you don't "save to" Dropbox but do "Send to" Dropbox as in sending an email. Most of the time, the application gives you an option to "send" the file and a selection, if Dropbox is installed, is to Dropbox (like SMS, MMS, email etc...).
Like I said, maybe this has no bearing on your issue.

You might want to check out SpiderOak as opposed to Dropbox, much more secure & a little more complicated. They both have there plus's & minus's.

I've never heard of them before. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to set up an account and see how they stack up against dropbox.

Hi
I get the sending.... hanging problem with the galaxy s built in gmail app.
clearing the cache doesn't work, and using the other email app wont attach video , it just says too big.
what are the good alternative email programs?
Cheers
Hi,
I'm using K-9 Mail via an IMAP Account and are fairly happy with it. Only one thing: Push-Mail via IMAP-Idle drains the Battery like Hell... but a 15 Minute poll is fair enough (shorter Intervals are also available).
And it is FOSS...
Bye

cheers K9 came up in a google search, it sounds good
I turn off sync with email and check it manually when i want to.
its more about sending an email and it actually getting there . where the gmail app fails .
I check my mail on my main computer, but use my phone to 'quick check' stuff. but if an app is a 'beast that takes ages to open' that would be a pain. I didn't think about battery life, (cheers for that). so many apps just run in the background on my galaxy s. as much as i love it, it is another crazy computer in my life .
is K9 a free app or advertising/donation?
also any other suggestions welcome too
Are you sure the gmail app is failing? If you've got your phone to manually sync, the email will never send. The gmail app does not send emails as per request, they are put in a queue and sent out only when the phone syncs. Try it now. Send an email and keep syncing disabled. Nothing happens. Hi options the. Choose refresh option and I will push through the queued emails. As for file size limit, I wouldn't know but I have added a total of 5.8mb in an email which sent fine.
Edit: re read your post. Use the gmail app and try what I said, it has no issues with file size like other **** apps.

K9 is free open source software without any kind of adds or something else.

send sometimes works
sometimes doesn't (usually when i attach pic or video)
i can send very small test messages by clicking refresh

i always use refresh to send the email with sync disabled
its a know issue
the file size issue is to do with the 'other' email program that came with my phone.
I've ruled both out as not fit for purpose.
but i don't want to try hundreds of apps so i thought a few good recommendations might help.
cheers anyway, but I'm giving up on the gmail app.
quick update:
I've tried K9
it had success sending video attachments (that were stuck on gmail app or cancelled on the other galaxy s email app)
the bad
when it set up, it took ages (i have 1000s of email on my gmail account. so it could just be that)
it doesn't seem to group the emails (like replies from forums etc) can i set the settings to do this?
the names like expunge and poll (empty trash and refresh)
it seems a bit slower than the gmail app? but i could just be me
i'm trying to get used to the scrolling left and right in messages.
the good
it showed the full message
it could send video attachments to gmail (is 25mb max for gmail)
it sent the items (unlike the gmail app)
it seems pretty equipped with options
looks ok
I'm still not sure
What else might i try?
ok
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S
I shoot 3 videos (all 3 are about 7mb)
Gmail can handle attachments up to 25MB
Gmail app always gets stuck on sending (with no warning to let you know its not sent)
MMS wont convert the files
Other Email app wont accept the file size
K9 sends them (which is a step forward)
but doesn't group messages by conversation
also it has the push always running (i don't know what push is)
and seems to always be checking my mail (I don't mind exploring the oddly named and confusing settings if its the program i am going to use)
also the built in gmail app shortens messages so replies from this forum wont display the link to the topic (pretty annoying) the other built in email app does display the link long enough to click.
I feel very frustrated.
I just wanted to send a couple of funny videos to my friend via any means.
And it feels like my Samsung Galaxy S is just completely against me doing this in any easy fashion
I might keep K9 but turn all the setting to check the email off and use it if i want to send a file.
how do i turn the check mail settings off on k9 (the options are confusing, confusingly named, and different depending on where you are in the program.
if i turn K9 off, and use it only occasionally will it take ages to open if i keep all my messages on the server?
Or is there a fourth email program:
that opens fast
groups the messages
sends attachments up to 25mb
Cheers
i tried Maildroid but he adds were annoying.
back to K9:
How do i stop K9 automatically checking mail?
and how do stop the k9 mail service app running constantly (i assume its the push thing)
I'm thinking of keeping the app on there to send files by email, and for links that don't show up properly like replies from this forum. but i don't want it spanking my battery or checking for emails
How do i set it up for "there when i need it"?
the options are confusing and have nonsense kind of names.
Cheers
Ok, Ive played and looked for a way to do this and i cant seem to get it? Does anyone else have more then one email in the email app, and if so how do you switch between email boxes? The only time i can look at a different box is when i get an email and the phone alerts me i have an email there?!
Press the menu button when you're in the e-mail application.. it should give you some options.
Nope, just select all, Folders, Compose, Refresh, Email Settings.....I checked all not in there

What's under folders? I'd expect your inbox to be there..
go to messaging instead and select the inbox you want.
while i'm new to android, i believe that the email app goes to your default account.

OMG thank you. I was getting so frustrated trying to figure out how to see all my email folders.
Yea...I did the same thing and couldnt figure it out for a little bit. Really pissed me off, but now I just have "Messaging" as an icon and i can select which email from there.
Just upgraded to ICS, added my Exchange account in stock email. At the first refresh, I see the subfolders, as soon as the refresh is complete, all subfolders disappear. Tried the usual, removed account and added it back, no difference. When I select a message and click the Move To Folder icon, the subfolder list appears there.
Anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Could I be the only one with this issue?
The same here... no subfolders!
No you are not!
In GB the Samsung stock Mail sucked, but now its horrible!
Subfolders not showing up indeed and it looks crappy.
On my MotoDefy I am running Cyanogenmod 9 with the Google stockmail and I love it.
Why did Samsung left us with this inferieur mail app!
I do not want to root right now due tot the hardbrick problems with ICS... what options are left?
Have not found any real good sutitute on Google Play Store for Google stock Mail. Too fancy, to laggy or just far to expensive so far.
I have no such problem. Just click the menu button and then select folders. I see mine just fine.

Its not about the folders, dut subfolders in the folders
I installed a trial version of Touchdown and it can see my subfolders (the damn thing costs $20). I feel like going back to GB, is this possible? Am I going to screw up anything? The battery drain is noticeable, for the first time ever since I've had my Note, I heard a low-battery beep before the end of the working day. Coincidence?

I have no issues with sub folders.
You need to go to options (left hardware key).
Folders -->
Just click on the icon of the INBOX and it opens the list of sub folders for Inbox.
Similarly click on the ICON of the other folders such as Sent, etc for their sub f olders if any.
Okay, here's the problem. I have been touching the icon and nothing happened. Just got it to work by long pressing it and waiting about 2 seconds. It's a pretty bad lag. I have a lot of folders...?
ETA: Doing *anything* is slow. Much slower than GB. Deletes take 2 seconds each. Spinning wheel while inbox opens. This is for an Exchange mailbox.

I've been using the left hardware key and selecting Folders, the only folders which show up are the default ones (Sent, Draft, Outbox etc) By long pressing on the Inbox folder, even for a couple of seconds, I get a menu option to Open, Add Folders, Sync Options.
Update: fixed problem, click the Inbox ICON, not the label "Inbox" when selecting Folders.

Replaced Samsung email app bij the Google stock email app
The samsung e-mail app works to laggy for me.
I found en nice solution. Just follow two treads:
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26036984&postcount=1
2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25102714&postcount=18
The first one gives me a temporary root with a kind of temprary ClockWorkMod (I dit not instaal the RootUser - SU Busybox - BTW)
The second during the CWM session I installed ICS_EmailGoogle_update.zip.
Nice thing is.... its all reversable, no trianges or conuters end no ROM upgrades.
Works like a charm!
Now mij Note on ICS is like I want it!!
I had read or hear somewhere that there is an issue with attachments in gmail on the note 10.1 Is this confirmed by users who have one and use gmail or just a bad reviewer. Still trying to decide on Infinity or 10.1 and this is very important to me.
Thanks in advance.
I assume you mean using the stock e-mail client. I don't imagine the GMail app would behave any differently on the Note than it does anywhere else.

Just install a file manager app like Astro and you will be able to attach any file in the GMail app.

I don't have this problem.
No probs with attachments here, neither Samsung client nor original Gmail.
The Samsung client only sometimes won't download integrated pictures in emails like company logos.
No issues for me either. Just bad reviewers.
No he didn't mean the stock email client he meant gmail. Within gmail you only get these options (gallery or dropbox) stock for attachments but you can also send stuff initiating outside gmail using the share options in what ever app your in.
Also as gdirks says installing a file manager will let you choose whatever.

I have to admit that's pretty stupid. In my pics that's GMail being used via ActiveSync and you can see the stock e-mail client has Samsung's My Files app as the number one option. It also gives the option of sending content created in the S-tools. There's no reason (that I can think of) that the GMail app shouldn't behave the same way. At least to your point the problem can be solved by installing a third party file manager.

yes that is correct, installing a file manager like x-plore or solid explorer will work just fine.

Yup, agreed it shouldn't but it's samsung's terrible software design at work here. Maybe it was an honest oversight and they will fix it. I say we pressure them to do so. I'm sure someone will figure out how to fix it soon enough on xda but the whole point is that we shouldn't have to fix things like that, it should work just like stock aosp android.
I really don't want to setup gmail as active sync.
A friend also had the same issue. On my Galaxy Note 10.1 I had a slection for "attach video". Fixed the problem with this app: [I'm not allowed to post links- sorry]. Go to Play Store and search on "Attachments [Gmail Attach]"
I have no relationship with this developer. Cheers, David
I'm using the gmail app right now, but I'm trying to switch over to the stock app to take advantage of the aod email notifications (for the time being anyway....). I'm not sure if i'm missing something or I'm the biggest noob around or what, but I can't seem to archive new gmail messages from the inbox or the stock email app. My options are swipe right: Move,Set Reminder,Unread,Reply ... swipe left: Delete. I noticed if I move messages, I have to select a folder to put them in. This marks then as read, however, I would like to simply archive my messages and have them appear in 'All Messages' without having a label attached to them. Is this possible and I'm totally missing something? Or is this just gonna happen? I realize this is more of a standard email client, but given the amount of gmail accounts out there, this is something I would expect would be available for a google email account. I will stick to the Gmail app for now, but would be nice to know, even just to get the oad notifications, thanks.
ps - I searched the forums first, but if I missed the answer already, sorry.
tldr: Archive in Samsung mail client ... where is it?
Don't think you are going to get it with the stock app. However, when Nougat rolls out for the S7 I am hoping the AOD will also update to show all notifications.

Albeit a little late to reply to you, but I ran into the same issue.
The answer basically is that in Gmail terms, archiving a message means removing all tags from it.
You can do this on the Samsung mail app by "moving" it to "all messages" folder...it sucks, I know
Well, I'm not 100% to your liking, but I did not use either both gmail or samsung mail. I switched to bluemail. If you want, you should try

Jut be aware of the possible security issues using BlueMail
:fingers-crossed:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/typeapp-bluemail-security-problems-t3427000
It's the same as on iPhones I think, where a gmail account on their default email client app will go straight to delete.
Moreover, as Yahoo app does the same (I think), the outlier might actually be Gmail which doesn't let you delete, but only archive emails.
