Ok. I have my Galaxy S for almost a week now and I am convinced that there is something wrong with the email apps. It was not pulling the mails down as according to the schedule and exhibits major lag, especially when deleting emails. Worst still, I have a couple of times which I saw an email literally disappearing from the inbox right in front of my eyes. Is there any free email apps that I can install from the market to replace it?

Quite a lot of users report K-9 Mail to be a very good alternative.
I've found it's the only one which allows me to download attachments successfully.
I hear a lot about k9 too but i am just using the googlemail app. But if i were you i would give the k 9 app a try.

I have a Vibrant now and the email app is awful. The ui and app itself are fine, but it takes a good 5 minutes to retrieve my emails and it takes forever to open, move or delete an email. I'm very interested in the galaxy tab but email will be one of my primary uses for the device and I dont want to drop a lot of money on something with a broken email app.
How is the stock email application on the galaxy tab?
Thanks!
Try K-9 mail
What is the best email app for the s5? Is it possible to set an email app to only download the latest emails? The stock s5 one always downloads old emails, bit annoying

On Stock email app you can choose Period to Sync.
Go to Manage Account , pick account , goto Sync Settings -- > Period to Sync Email then you can choose from 1 day to 1 months
The other good option is CloudMagic.

I use Aquamail for a long time now, very happy with it and fully costumizable.
Thanks for the reply. I used k9 mail for awhile. What's so great about the aqua mail
Hi everyone...
I have just moved to the G4 from the Samsung S5 and I have a couple of questions that I'm hoping someone can help me with.
First of all on the S5 I have an email app..but on the G4 I can only see Gmail...have I missed some thing?
Second...on the G4 when I'm writing a text or email the numbers are on the letters and can be reached by holding down a letter till the number comes up..is there anyway of getting them on a separate line
I would like to achieve this without rooting my phone..I appreciate the benefits of rooting a phone as I have previously rooted a couple of HTC phones..but at the moment I don't want to root my G4
Thanks for looking and any help is appreciated

On the email, if you want something other than the Ģmail app you'll have to install an email app from Play, there are many to choose from. I personally like [email protected] Mail Pro for my 5 email accounts.
You may also want to take a look at a different keyboard as there are tons of those also, many free.
You can use the Gmail app for other email accounts. As for keyboard look here I've just done it and it works

With Gmail app, all email accounts can be added in the setting if you swipe from the left. I used to have email app as a separate one as well in a Samsung smartphone. Actually I found it is convenient to manage multiple accounts in Gmail app.
The number and symbol can be accessed via the left bottom so called 'symbol key', hit it and you will get numbers in a separate line along with various symbols.
Thanks for all the replies...I'm going to give Gmail app a try..is there a way of removing Gmail from the app but still leave my Gmail account on the phone... basically I don't use Gmail for emails so there is no point in having it on the client..sorry to be awkward lol

Just go into Settings>Apps and disable it. It won't affect anything else. It's a system app and without rooting that will be the best way to hide it.

if gmail is the main one you used to sign your phone in, I assume you can go to gmail app setting and change the option for that account specifically to "don't sync email", then it won't bother you.
Has the native email app changed since the S7? Anyone know if it has true threaded messaging?
I hope so. I have tried aquamail and nine email and they both suck compared to stock.
Really? I LOVE nine. Find it amazing but always happy to use stock when it makes sense. What don't you like

I wasnt bashing it. It graphically beautiful. I just prefer the options, menus, and folder structure of stock. Nine was great on battery consumption compared to stock.
Nine has been my choice of app for about 2 years now. It's what got me off of HTC devices (since I very much liked the HTC stock mail app).
+1 for Nine. Been using it for nearly 3 years and it has been flawless.

The stock apps (including e-mail) are the only ones fully integrated with Gear. They're also better integrated with the rest of Samsung's ecosystem (Scrapbook, S Note, Bixby). The S7 nougat e-mail client was a modernized version of the Note7's. I'm assuming since it was just updated it'll carry over and get a new "lines" icon in keeping with the rest of the S8's updated aesthetics.
I'm coming from the native iPhone email app and think it's rubbish. Is the native Samsung one any good? If not what would you all suggest? I can't remember what app I used to use on my htc.

I personally like it. It's clean and easy to navigate. I use it with Exchange and its a great e-mail client. If you're looking for something more integrated check out Samsung Focus.
I have 3 email accounts. Can it handle them and are they easily identified?

Does it have true threaded messaging in and out?
Does Samsung Focus offer polling, not pushing, and true threaded messaging?

What is missing from the none native email app and gear? I currently use S2 with V20 and the email works great.

There is an actual e-mail app on the Gear that syncs with the native phone e-mail app. So you can read messages, mark them read, mark them unread, and reply to them. The Gear app lets you scroll through your entire inbox and has an unread message counter. If you delete an e-mail on your Gear it deletes it on the phone and vice versa. The mail app on the Gear is literally an extension of the full-fledged app on your phone. The Samsung Gear and phone messaging apps have the same level of integration.
Side question anyone know how to move the galaxy native email data to the sd card? I have to carry a pile of email in my pocket. I used to use touchdown so I could relocate the data, but I've switched to hte native app. It used to stink on older devices, but it was fine on the 7 and the integration with other apps is so much more convenient.
I also prefer the stock app. I do have an issue with it, I can't seem to get "push" settings. I have an icloud email address and had push on my iPhone. Is there anyway to get push on this app? Will forwarding to him gmail and using that work?

In the default email app settings there is a menu item called "view" under which you have 2 options "standard" and "conversation". The conversation option attempts a threaded view although I am not able to comment on how well the implementation is as I don't use threaded view.
does anyone know why emails from gmail on the native email app (s8+) do not stay deleted? They keep popping up, when marking as read, it does do that fine. (Settings: Gmail Auto, as items are received)
Messages not downloading completely
I just got a Galaxy S8+, and I can't figure out how to get the email app to load the rest of a message. There is one particular sender that I get daily messages from, and for some reason their messages never load completely. On my old S5, I just swiped up, and the app loaded the rest of the message. In the new app, that has no effect.
Any suggestions?

Try this. Not sure if it is the answer to your issue but give it a go.
Open the email app>menu>click the gear icon>click your email account>scroll down until you see the option "limit retrieval size">select "no limit.
