I originally thought I was imagining it but the stock email client on my new Google Nexus 7 appears to be very functionally different than that on my Samsung Galaxy S2 or Amazon Kindle Fire HD. The Nexus 7 is running Android 4.2.2, the Galaxy S2 is running 4.1.2 and the Kindle Fire is running whatever it came out of the factory but the email client experience matches that on the S2.
To give examples by how different the client is, when I press the menu button on the Nexus I get:
- Move
- Mark As Unread
- Settings
On the Galaxy S2, I get:
- Search
- Folders
- Sort By
- View Mode
- Font Size
- Settings
- Delete All
From Combined View, selecting two emails from different accounts on the Nexus gives me:
- Add Star
On the Galaxy S2, I get:
- Move
- Mark As Unread
The Galaxy S2 / Kindle email seems to do folders a lot more competently too.
Going into the Applications control panel, I can see that S2 / Fire is "E-Mail Version 4.0" and Nexus is "E-Mail Version 4.1". Have I done something majorly wrong to cause the stock client to lose functionality and, if so, how do I fix it? I'm using six IMAP accounts and one Exchange account, for the record.
Regards, Ade.

I just purchased a GT 10.1 on yesterday and went through the usual routine of signing in with my Google credentials to set everything up (used for about 2 hours, then applied the Touchwiz update). I'm wondering, is there a way to set up "profiles" or 'users' on the Tab (similar to a Windows PC) that requires a passcode for specific Google accounts, but still allow anyone else to use the tab but not have access to my info? My concern is that all of my gmail, gv, fb, twitter ect data is accessible through the tablet apps since everything is already signed in/synced. Or is my only recourse to use an app that allows passcodes to be placed on individual apps (I'm currently using ZD Box to accomplish this on my N1). I searched the net and hadn't found anything that addressed my question.
that would be awesome. I wondered the same thing but couldn't find anything

Hi
Try Smart App Protector, I've tested and it worked ok, there is a free and paid version as well.
Cheers
Having the ability to have two user logins would be awesome, then I could let my wife/daughter use the tab also. Not that I have anything to hide but would just rather them not have full access to all my accounts.
As in title, I was looking for something similar to Kindle Personal Documents Service for rooted Nook - possibility to directly send/download books in email attachments. I've found this market app com.geolinx.gmail.downloader and it just works!
I've already contacted developer to ask for PUSH IMAP and some kind of filtering (like download only from selected IMAP folders). It looks like these new features are coming so stay close 'cause this app is really nice.
Hi
Recently got a galaxy tab 10.1, and has 3.1 installed - no upgrade available yet apparently.
Anyway, I'm not sure if I've missed something glaringly obvious, but I'm reasonably literate with stuff like this. I'm trying to get my email setup, and have tried a number of apps. Until ICS comes out, Ive decided to use the stock email app, the samsung one..
Anyway, I can add multiple accounts, so I've got gmail, hotmail etc. The only problem is gmail (IMAP?) has a change displayed name feature, whereas hotmail (on activesync?) doesn't... So if my email was [email protected], my gmail has a setting to change that to whatever I want, in this instance Mr Bob Smith. However, the hotmail doesn't, and when I send an email, it's from bigbillybob, essentially just the first part of the email address.
I can't believe that this is a bug / intentional, but the setting isn't there under the hotmail account. I was hoping someone could shed some light on this. No luck searching - Otherwise it's a great little device.
This is not the Galaxy Tab 10.1 forums. This is for the original Galaxy Tab.
Please post your question in the correct forum (i.e. the 10.1's dedicated forum) to have your question better answered.

I found a workaround to change the "Your Name" setting in the stock Email app. I posted the details at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31342076.
Hi All,
Got my Nexus 7 in Dublin Airport T2 Dixons yesterday with no queues, fuss or drama, no pre orders to worry about, just walked up and paid... love it so far however one little issue i have.
Adding the Gmail widget is fine. Inbox emails show all is good in the world. If I put it to sleep and then open after a few mins the emails in the widget do not show... just blank!!!!! any ideas. The gmail account is fine and all emails in here but the widget just seems faulty.
Thanks
Darren
I use that widget with no problems at all,are you using the stock launcher?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
Just tried it on mine and when adding the widget, it prompts which label (or folder, e.g. Inbox, sent, etc.). I picked Inbox and like yourself nothing showed up although I have 3 read emails in my Inbox. So I flagged one as unread again and removed and re-added the widget and hey presto all 3 emails show. Now when I actually read the email the 3 emails still show, all greyed out as read. Looks like a little bug in the code to me ?
Same issue on new Nexus 7

I don't have this issue under 4.1.2 on my Galaxy Note 2 but I can reproduce it under CyanogenMod 4.2.2 on a Galaxy Nexus and on my brand new 2nd Gen Nexus 7. When I add the widget it works fine. Go to sleep and it turns blank.
I've got the same issue in motorola RAZR M and samsung S4. The problem is that for some reason the gmail force closes in the background (i see a error) and then the widget goes blank. I use apex launcher and no task killer apart from swiping away the apps using default app switcher.
My work place uses exchange and K-9 does not work with it since WebDav does not work with newer exchange versions.
The default email app on Nexus works but it very basic - no threaded emails - a big thing for me.
Galaxy S3 has a decent email app (one with a white envelope and red @ symbol) which supports threaded/conversation email.
Is there any way I can install (or replace the default client with) the email client that runs on S3 on the N4?
Waiting
Some people will do
I also want to know, thank you
Google: Samsung Galaxy S3 System Dump
Or just go here: Galaxy S III System Dump..
It has the System Dump; but also provides smaller file containing just the apps.
Also some instructions to get the app installed on the N4 (Not saying they will work)

Samsung apps will not work on AOSP (other than some hacked files found for AOSP/CM10) as they are tied to TouchWiz interface (which obviously the Nexus 4 doesn't use).
The default email app though does need some work for sure.

Guess you missed the part in my post that said "Not saying they will work"
I was providing the S3 Email app download...
And yes the Email app used for non Gmail accounts surely does need some work.. like Zoom, and AutoFit.
Not sure why Google updated the Gmail app, but not the other Email app.
Thanks.. So looks like it's not possible to get the Samsung email app to work on nexus 4
