HI all,
I've been trying to figure out this Bluetooth situation for quite a while but have had no luck.
I used to have my work blackberry connected with my car, and then emails would sync and show while driving.
However, i'm now using my personal Nexus 6p device for work because I simply couldn't stand using the BB anymore. I started using the application Nine Exchange email (which is a fantastic email app btw), but I can in no way get any emails to sync over Bluetooth, nor is there an option.
Is this is because it's a 3rd party app? I know the only app I would be able to use would be the default Android app (does the 6p even have one?), but it's not at all a good app to use.
Is there anyway this could work?

On my TP2 using active sync I could tell it to not push mail after 5pm and not on the weekend. I am using the HTC sync and do not see any option like this. Is there a way to put the exchange push on my DINC on a schedule??
TIA...
I use the app timeriffic to stop notifications at night. That may be the only windows mobile feature i miss.

I wrote email scheduler for the WM, and wanted to port it to Android, but you can't access the email functions from another program. Kind of sucks.

I suggest just turning off notifications like dspero said.
Forgive me if this topic has been raised before -- I searched and didn't see anything.
I am seeing two issues with my Epic relating to e-mail I haven't seen raised.
1. Generic e-mail client doesn't sync reliably. It ran reliably for a day or two, but has stopped polling, and now the only way I can get the accounts in it to update is to go into the client and open them.
2. I cannot seem to get more than 2 gmail accounts added to the gmail client. I have three google accounts, and I had to set up my third one in the generic client after repeated attempts to add it to the gmail client resulted in server connection fails.
Anyone else seeing this? Is it possible I have a defective phone or something I did during the course of rooting (noobnl's one-click v 2.2.9) broke some functionality? Is it possible that the service responsible for the client's polling activity got broken?
Thanks in advance.
My email has been updating automatically fine. I've only had my Epic for a little over two weeks, though. I don't have multiple Gmail accounts so can't say. Also, I'm not rooted yet ( I've been waiting for the 2.2 upgrade). I'm not crazy about everything in the generic client but it does seem to work very well.
I thought I was having the same issue as OP, but I found that I guess I accidentally switched automatic updates off in the settings.
I have had my Epic since it launched and yes this has been an issue for me. I thought maybe I had something set wrong but I don't. I actually check my Yahoo acct through the browser now. It doesn't really bother me to much though so I deal with it. Facebook for Android is the same way usually too.

This is a common issue if you search around.
I've given up on the stock email app and just use K9 mail. Works perfectly. Has a few more options than the stock app too, although like a lot of open-source apps, maybe too many. I still haven't gotten all the fonts to look the way I want. But it's functional and doesn't give me any problems with syncing. An email app that won't tell me when I have new email is useless to me, and the stock app would only do that for maybe a day unless I rebooted. K9 always notifies me of email immediately.
I'm having a problem of my own. I just tried to send an attachment in the stock email app but I get a FC when I hit attach. In the gmail app however it works, gives me the option of gallery or astro. Could the FC in the email app occuring because I uninstalled the myfiles app and it defaults to it?

Exactly the same problem. Stock email client works for a while then just quits.
But anyway, thanks for the tip re K-9 mail. Just installed it and will give it a try. It is indeed considerably more complimicated and will probably take some fiddling to get everything the way I want it, but that's OK -- I guess if I wanted simple but uncofigurable functionality I'd have a feature phone or an iPhone.
Seems like the FB app does the same thing. Anyone have a suggestion for a good 3d-party FB client?
Oh, and does anyone else have more than 2 accounts in gmail?
reboot will fix it for a short period
same problem here... worked for two weeks and now only syncs if manually. Rebooting the phone gets it going again... for a few more days and then it will no longer sync again!
I'm coming from a blackberry to android.
I had a Nexus One for leisure purposes and it got me hoocked to Android.
Now I'm giving up on the blackberry for a Desire HD and I still cannot figure a way to replace the awesome email service from my old blackberry.
Downsides I'm facing:
-battery drainage;
-difficult or multi step configurations;
-delays receiving email notifications, when compared to the immediate blackberry delivery.
I'm looking for solutions.
Tried K9 and other email apps and the native app, but it seems that Android is still struggling to get multiple accounts working efficiently at the same time, specially business oriented.
Any tips?
It should I just stick to blackberry for email solutions?
Tks folks.

I switched from BB as well. For my work email/calendar/contacts. I use Touchdown. Easy to set up exchange and does pretty much everything I need. The only issues I have are related to recurring events and contacts sorting. TD also works very well with Pure Calendar Widget. Of course BB is the email king for business use, but this setup is not bad either.

I'm using K9 with multiple accounts, setup as push and I always get my mails delivered instantly.
For me it works perfectly, what problems do you have?
Also +1 for Touchdown. All of the people I know coming from Blackberry find it to be a good replacement.
Thanks guys.
I have one gmail, one yahoo and one corporate email.
When having my blackberry and the DHD side by side, the difference on receiving emails is enormous. It's taking more then two minutes to get it on my DHD. Blackberry is instant.
Battery drainage is also a problem since I have to keep fetching ans polling emails.
Perhaps I'm doing something wrong. Any further insights?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Yep, never set K9 to do any fetching or polling.
Only use push, this way the mail sever will push the mail to you as soon as it arrives. It will be instant and it also won't drain your battery.
Edit: in account preferences, set verification frequency to "never".
And enable push.
Anyone using yahoo?
Does it work with push?

The email side of things is making me want to go back to my iphone. Never had this kind of annoying, unreliable service with my 3gs iphone.
Installed stock froyo app as the htc mail app doesnt work with push hotmail, that is flaky at best, sometimes mail doesnt even arrive even tho it says theres mail there and doesnt work with html.
I think its awful that it cant even work with probably the biggest email domain on the net.
Hotmail is at best reciving junk mail, desire hd works pretty well for my gmail. Sorry the MSN lovers.

So I'm new having just moved to Android from WM, and have configured all my accounts on the phone (that's 7 email accounts under Accounts), now my problem is simple I see no way to actual see existing messages in the inbox's, when I get a mail it shows up in notifications, but other than the gmail accounts (all 5 of which are available from the gmail app if separately), getting to the yahoo, msn or aol accounts (mostly used of IM, but mail does go to them some times) is just not easy. I really expected more from Android when it comes to email accounts. I've seen programs like Enhanced Email or Pure Messenger in the market place, but before I went and sent money, I thought I'd ask if there was something I'm missing built in or free?
On the same note I'm finding the Widgets that are provided for Google voice, are ugly and others say for email are simply not present at all. All of this is making me miss my HTC Sense interface on WM. However there I'd expect solutions for all of these issue, which is what I'm looking for.
Thanks,
ERIC
You'll find all your emails in the messaging app

I know the app you are suggesting, but so far it always says no emails, yet the gmail app shows well over a hundred, so as far as I can tell its not working, also like to crash on me, so I do not think it is a solution.
Thanks,
ERIC
You can try K9-Mail for an e-mail client. Works amazing for me.

have you configured the email accounts in their respective sections in MESSAGING app as has already been suggested? the app works fine here, so if you are having problems, factory reset and try again. i dont really understand what the problem is. your question originally was how to access them, then when told how to access them you say it's not working. if its not working, start there and figure out WHY its not working......THAT would be your problem, wouldnt it?
not trying to be hostile or funny here, but if you love HTC Sense, you do know there are plenty of androids running HTC sense right?
or you can wait for a HTC Sense ROM
I have five accounts running with no problem. Try a factory reset like someone else suggested.

By default its only set to sync the past 3 days of mail. Go into account settings from the messaging app and bump it up to 30 days. 30 days is the max which is a bummer. On my past win mobile you could tell it to sync all mail.

There was only one thread near what I am experiencing with no solution so apologies now if I am redundant to another thread I don't see!
Background:
Device is Note 3 purchase within this week. Using stock email client at the moment. Configured a new account on my Note 3 to sync to my company email through a third party pop mail server (@mail on pair.com) used for remote access to email.
My Issue:
email I receive on my Note 3 while remote does not persist on the device over time. I presume when I access those emails while at my office computer, the third party server at pair.com deletes them for remote access. Therefor, those emails are not really being downloaded to my device, rather, just displaying what is on the third party server at each sync point. I have a business need to keep remotely accessed email on my device until I choose to remove them. I have gone through every possible setting on my device to no avail. I am not a company admin on the pair.com site so I am not sure what settings are there that drive behavior with respect to my device client. If need be, I do know the site admin.
My question:
Is there something I'm missing here? Has anyone had this requirement for their device and knows how to configure settings to force true email downloads to the device, making them autonomous to the device for managing locally (i.e. Keep / Delete)?
BTW, I will be abandoning the stock client in favor of K-9 for other reasons - will I run into the same problem with K-9 settings/behavior?
Thanks
Are you connected using imap or pop3?
