I actually prefer to use the email app. Problem is, the email app doesn't seem to download updates until I open it (even with it on ignore in Task MGR). Email app set to download every 10 mins. The Gmail app, however, seems to auto download updates.
Any seen or know of a solution?

The Gmail app supports push notifications, which means as soon as you get an email, you'll get it on your phone. But with the email app, it resorts to polling (checking for new messages every 10 minutes) so it refreshes only when you open it
Lucky you, but my gmail app doesn't do anything. I feel that its always off since I don't get any email notification on ie.
Makes sense. I just like the look of the email app better, but I guess u need to stick with gmail for the push ability.

Go to Settings in the Gmail app and make sure that Email Notifications is checked. That's the whole point of using Gmail compared to Hotmail/Yahoo.. (atleast for now)
It annoys me how you can't select multiples in th stock app. I use K9, it has colours (including led flash) for each account, push, and most importantly, multiple select.

Can the SE email app be removed without causing any problems?

What about in Settings/Data Sync - I think you need Google Sync, and then Google Mail Sync selected too.
settings ---> data synchronization ---> synchronize with Gmail
right, I forgot to check that back after the 100th times of rooting.
Thank you,

nice one thx thats fixed my issue didnt even have to ask lol
For those who have tried both: Which app is better, the stock email, or the Gmail app? All I care about is using it FOR Gmail. I've been using the Gmail app, but wondering if I'm missing out on some features.
It's the same thing. Downloading gmail from the market just updates your stock app. You can tell by going to uninstall it in the market; it will say "uninstall updates" which means you lose the updates but not the apk itself.
The email app is good got a 2nd email address. Use gmail for gmail, it's much better.

Can I assume you are paying the $20/yr for Yahoo's "Plus" service? If not, then that's probably your problem. Can't use POP with a free Yahoo account.
Yahoo has their own email app for android.

With push email, new messages appear in your inbox as soon as they arrive. You'll always be up to the moment.

I have true push email on my SGS
my SGS always get the emails faster than Gmail itself
many times i see my SGS pop up an alert about new email, and me being logged into Gmail cloud on the browser don't see the email until a few manual refreshes after
also got thunderbird on IMAP4, so it should show up immediately, but SGS is always the first to pop up with the alert whenever i get a new email first

Don't be too surprised....they're bringing out all those stuff we've already enjoyed for quite some time to promote the Nexus S to the noobies.

Push email works for me as well, i get the email notification on my sgs before my office outlook.
Guys push email in SGS only works with gmail or exchange accounts. For other email service providers such as yahoo or hotmail, you need to use the samsung social hub app. Which I don't really like btw.
Please correct me if I'm wrong

yeah. gmail app pushes email to your phone. The default email app doesn't I don't think, I haven't gotten it working. But samsung apps have released a new app that's called Samsung Email (you can download through samsung apps) it pushes email for gmail, hotmail, yahoo, pretty much the big email providers.
hope that helps.

Is this 'Samsung email' different from the default email app (not Gmail) found in SGS?
I can't find it in Samsung Apps.

Yeah Samsung call it 'Social Hub' as mentioned earlier, i posted the apk in an earlier thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773687&page=3 (post 25)
It works really well, it makes any 'normal' email push email. Two things that let it down for me are, you are unable to select multiple emails (no check boxes) and you are unable to select your own alert tone.

it uses the system selected alert tone
so, yeah, there is no individual contact specific alert tone, but it is possible to select account specific alert tone
say if you have 5 or more different email accounts, each one can have its own ring tone... but i think that is because i installed some 3rd party add-ons to get that functionality, forgot which (rindroid?, ringalert?, handsend sms?, some other players?)
I installed that samsung email app and it is mzch better than stock one.. Much faster and that app makes galaxy s much better phone and fixes its big disadvantage. Thanks for the app..

Got my new Galaxy S4. What is up with the email app? are you able to have it push email? i dont want it to poll every 5 minutes, i need my emails instantly...
I turned on sync in the email app, which apparently this is not push, anyways, throughout the day when i open the email app i get a popup saying email sync disabled. Why?
Can anyone confirm that the search function works?? I have my email set up as an imap account, whenever i want to search something in my email i get 0 results, and if i hit the search on server, it does not bring up anything either. This happens with all my email accounts on my phone, and my wife's accounts on her GS4. Any idea why??
I have a rooted S4, not using a custom rom. I have tried K9 email but it is just plain ugly. I actually like how the stock email app looks but nothing works!
I searched all over the internet and i dont see anything on most of these issues so im assuming im doing something wrong if nobody else is talking about this. Please, any help would be awesome. My wife wants her iphone back because of this.
I use the stock email app with no issues. I have it set to recieve from my work exchange account, my outlook and gmail accounts. All are push, and all of mine are searchable with no issues.
You may try erasing the account, and then resetting it. I know my outlook account is also an exchange server, but the gmail I think is IMAP. All mine have the check box "sync email" checked, and I set all to push notifications. Be sure you are setting up the account in the email app itself, that may help.

Where do you see the email push setting? only see sync, and whenever i turn on sync, i get a popup a few hours later when i open the app that sync has been disabled. Even when i enable sync, it gives me the option for sync schedule for at most every 15 minutes.
As far as the search, i use godaddy imap and yahoo. I cant search anything out of what is showing when i open the app. It shows me default of i think 25 emails when i open the app and if i scroll to the bottom it starts to load more. When i do a search, it only searches through what is loaded and when i do continue searching on server i get nothing more. The only results is what is in the 25 loaded messages, or 50 messages if i scroll down at let it load more...

The email app on the iphone is far better than the stock email app on the SGS4. I think the stock email app on the SGS4 is utter crap, at least with IMAP. Maybe it works better with exchange. I use Kaiten, which is an upgraded/updated version of K9. Another one that I looked at briefly was AquaMail.

The thing is i actually really like the email app on the GS4. I think the layout is nice and the email app is one of the few times i actually feel that the air view feature is really useful. The problem is, is that it is not reliable. I need my emails instantly and the email app is not getting it for me. I just figured out the search problem i was having. If i just change in the settings messages to load from 25 to "total" all of my messages will be there and search is fine. I still wish there is a way to have my emails come instantly rather than every 15 minutes. Aside from the push issue, what else do you dislike about the stock app that the other apps have? The only thing i noticed on the iphone is the push option...

You must be talking about an exchange account. You don't have that option with IMAP.

Four major issues are (and there are other minor issues):
- Lack of IMAP IDLE (push)
- When you reply to someones message, the text in their message is reformatted in your reply (font changes and line spacing changes). Looks unprofessional for work email.
- html hyperlinks are sometimes not properly parsed and are unclickable. I get a news service hyperlinks to articles. None of the hyperlinks work on the stock email client. I have to forward the message to gmail or something to click on the hyperlinks.
- emails sent from stock email client do not sync properly and have a different format on my outlook client.
Kaiten has none of these problems. These are not problems with the iphone app either.

plus, to update on the syncing being disabled. I set the sync to on, reboot my phone, opened the mail app and i get the pop up that says sync disabled. I open the settings and the sync option is no longer checked.
Just tried Kaiten...It was downloading so many copies of my emails. It showed each email at least 4 times...uninstalled...
They are correct, the one I looked at was my Outlook.com email address, and my work address. The gmail address shows the same thing as yours.
I guess the news hasn't gotten around fully. Gmail accounts to do not support push with anything other than the native stock android gmail app anymore (since, when exactly, I don't remember. March or April of this year?). In that particular case, it's not the fault of the Samsung email app. No other app besides the official "gmail" app will receive emails by push from a gmail account, and that includes any email applications on any other system from iphone to any other operating system. Blame gmail.
The only thing I miss by using the stock email app is that I can't get it to come up in the combined inbox by default...I have to select it each time which is a bummer.

you think you got it bad, i paid for unlock code on a rogers 1337m and had the push option.
when i inserted a telus sim and and unlocked it, it force reset the phone, force factory reset rather, and now i dont have push.
i also picked up some crappy apps from telus
confused.
the subject says it all. It drives me nuts that so many email apps want to just push emails as soon as they come in. I want an app that polls emails or have an interval sync option. I've tried K-9 but the UI is awful, any other recommendations would be great, Thanks!
Yeah I would love an app like inbox that categorizes your emails for you but I haven't found any.
A good email app to try is blue mail and you can set update intervals every hour or 6 it was the best one I used when I had an outlook account.
It's a paid app but Nine is the best one that I've used so far.
