Hi all,
This is just a question that i have, and i want to know your opinion.
I have Office 365 as per my work and i use a lot also gmail, so it means i have 2 main emails.
I use Gmail app for gmail and outlook app for my work email and I want to have both togethers in one email app that can synch the contacts from the email and the calendar too (like outlook and gmail)
I am thinking in start using the Samsung Email since I'm going to update to Nougat. Can anybody share experience with email apps? Do you recommend to have both in one app? Samsung email is good app? Better is to have both in outlook? In Gmail app?
Thanks !
Blu Mail is a good app. With lots of customization. Not hundred percent itll suit your need but take a look.

I use the Samsung app. No worries or issues. I have a private mail account(pop 3), gmail and work email (Exchange). What is nice is when creating the accounts you can specify from which account it must be sent by default. If you use the widget, you can change it to show either one account of your choosing or a combined view of all 3. You can also have each account sync the way you want individually. Each account can have it's own notification sound.
best email app ever..samsung have the best mail app and in nougat its much better ..

Here's my opinion;
I also have two primary email accounts like you, a Gmail one for personal and an Office 365 one for work and I've been using these two apps for the last 6 months and I'm happy so far.
Gmail:
I use Inbox app and have done since it was launched, it's like Gmail but better I think, especially the UI. It works well and links in with Google Keep which I use daily therefore I doubt I'll ever sync my emails with a non Google app.
Office 365:
I use Nine app for Office 365 mainly for the customisation it offers, it's very similiar to the other ones mention above but after trialling it I found it was worthy of a purchase.
My main reason I originally purchased it was for the sub folder sync which was lacking in the deault Samsung email app, however since the Nougat update you can now do this.
I have also been using the default email app for last two days and even though it is now much better than the MM version I still prefer Nine as it just offers everything you can think of!
I hope this helps! :good:

I think it's supposed to propose a solution for the lack of exchange support (calendar for example) with android.
Anyone knows if it really does?

What lack of Exchange support?
I have been using my Android Device with full exchange support for a long while now.
As to the OP, no, I have not used this app...
exchange on N1
Calendar Sync, Accept invitations, overlay Gmail and exchange calendars in a single view, GAL support, auto complete from Gmail and GAL when composing an email, search email on server.
All of the above worked perfect on my good old iPhone.

I can accept and create calendar events without issue. Never had a need to overlay Google and Corp calendar since I want to keep them separate...
I use 2 different apps for personal and work email, so don't need personal contact in my corp directory or work contact in my personal directory. I can auto complete names without issue in those respective apps as well.
Glad the iPhone let you do that, but I would not have used those features.

Hey... maybe I'm missing something.
How do you use calendar? N1 doesn't come with exchange calendar app. Are you using Moto's CorpCal?
What about autocomplete in exchange mail "To" field? Did you do anything special to enable it?
I run my own Funambol server and have used the client for years on Windows/Linux Thunderbird/Outlook and Windows Mobile.
The client for Android only syncs contacts at the moment, and it works. But, the developer typically works at a snails pace, so I'm not expecting to see full sync capability for another 2 years.
Hi I am looking into alternate email apps. I use exchange server 2007 and would like to ability to search all mail for my account on the server not just those downloaded to the handset).
I believe Active sync on WinMob does this already.
Also is there an app or a way to change the existing app to store all mail on the SD Card so I can sync my entire mailbox (sent items, sub folders etc.) and not just the inbox?
I can recommend you Touchdown for Exchange from Nitrodesk. In my opinion there isn't a better soft for using Exchange on Android.

Have you got this running on the Desire ? Can't find it on the market, only the license.
Activesync or Outlook 200-
Hi all
I'm trying this app as Iwanted to be able to access folders. Whats the best to use Activesync or exchange 2003 ?
Many thanks
Yes, it works on Desire. Paying for licence is also needed, but worth of it.
Search for "Nitrodesk" on Market and you will surely find it.
Goodluck, Michael

Also take a look at RoadSync from Datawiz. The best looking app, with the best integration.
If you're using Exchange, what exactly is the problem with the default Mail app? It syncs to Exchange, and syncs contacts, mail, and calendar.

Apparently it depending on your MS Exchange version.
We have 2003 and the default doesn't let you search the GAL. Also no ability to remotely wipe the device. I also had strange issues with sending mail either failing or being sent multiple times.
I think Nitrodesk is butt ugly.
Try MoxierMail
Looks like the default mail app so fits the theme of the phone, the widget is VERY pretty.
And unlike the default mail app like someone asked, you can sync tasks!

I have a 2007 exchange server and use Push. When using the default mail app, mail disappears from the Desire, it's still on the server and shows up in Outlook. I've lost 100's of mails at a time. It happens when a sync is in progress and you move from one data connection to another i.e. GPRS to 3G or to Wi-Fi or back again.
I've been using touchdown for about 10 days, and it's working much better - no missing mail but read and deleted mails aren't always updated, but that's better than them disappearing.
Thanks for theheads up on Moxier.. not heard of that one.
Q. which of these, TouchDown, Moxie, RoadSync handles Subfolders the best. ie i want to be notified if any email goes to any folder and not just the INBOX. ideally id like to quickly see UNREAD emails in one place (regardless of which folders they reside).
At the moment the default HTC client doesnt sync subfolders until you go into each one

I was getting annoyed by exactly the same thing! I had set up filters and labels on my Gmail account, but on my Desire I would only get notifications for mails arriving in my inbox.
I installed Touchdown the other day, and after a bit of fiddling with the settings have found that it does exactly what I/we want! It will alert at any mails that arrive (you select which folders to sync in the settings and it checks them all at) and you can set it to view all mails, regardless of the folders.
Would definitely recommend so far!
People, i want to know what do u use for Gmail account emails???
Do you use "mail" or "gmail" ???
Well,in mail you can set the synchronosation and retrival timings and frequency.
While using the "gmail" , u cannot set frequency of sync of mails.
Do suggest what is best for Gmail???
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Guess it's personal taste, but I myself prefer the Gmail app, since mail notifications appear pretty much the second the mail arrives, and not on the next sync
I prefer gmail app too. There is no synch time, because gmail app have push notification.

I peter the Gmail app as well. Main reason is push notification and send as feature.

I had the same dilemma, HTC mail or gmail....
The gmail app has at least 2 important features missing:
1. There is no pinch to zoom (you can't zoom, this can be very frustrating at times).
2. There is no notification for incoming mail in labels (you only get notified for the main inbox).
For these reasons I finally decided to use k9 mail. It has much more features than the gmail app, supports push as fast if not faster than the gmail app including for labels, and zoom works as well as with HTC mail.
Mail can of course push gmail as well. When setting up an account don't choose googlemail (POP3/IMAP), but set it as Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync using details as described on http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299
I know it shows how to set it up on Windows Mobile, but you just need to use the same domain etc.
It will then push email just as it arrives to your mailbox. On my DHD it always beeps earlier than notification addon installed on Google Chrome on my PC when email arrives.
I'm using Gmail with all my other emails imported into it, so I only have to check one inbox to read mail from my AOL, MSN, Hotmail, Roadrunner, and of course, Gmail itself. Very nice mail app.
I use Gmail.
Gmail. If only because I can't be bothered setting up anything else.
Gmail. It's painless.
Cheers from my DHD.

Mail (gmail push). just because i use widgets .

The problem with HTC mail is the same as with the gmail app : it doesn't push the labels; so any new mail you have set to go to a label will not get notified (for instance, I get no notification for my alias email that goes to a sub folder aka gmail label).
K9 Mail has solved this problem. It's the only free mail app so complete and it just "works" where the 2 others above fail.
Tbh, I do prefer Gmail but when I got a reply from co pilot I had to reply within their email and I couldn't because it did not allow me to edit via my phone, its a shame really as I needed to send the email whilst I was on the move, but comparing the two, I do prefer the Gmail overall. The normal email has problems syncing and sometimes brings up emails from ages ago which I had forgotten about

I use Mail to sync with my my company's exchange server, mostly for calender and contacts so I know what im meant to be doing, I wont sync my mail unless there is something specific i need.
I still use gmail app for my gmail personal account.
I have found that HTC's exchange sync app really good, other people in the company have samsung androids or stock androids and have difficulties.
I haven't found a way of getting hold of attachments in the Gmail app... You can only view attachments if it's a document type that Gmail can handle.
Hey all,
So, I guess there was an update where Gmail takes over the native email client. Thing is, I don't want to use Gmail to manage the mail, I want to use the regular one. In the instructions on how to get Gmail out, is says to go to accounts, then select the POP/IMAP accounts you don't want managed by Gmail. I don't have that option, for me, Gmail is everywhere. When I try to add an account, it's Gmail.
Any idea on the Moto how I can go back? Uninstall Gmail? And any idea why the Moto Mail app is incompatible with the Moto X Pure?
Thanks
Apparently Moto came up with another one, but it shows as incompatible so far.......another waiting game i suppose.

Gmail app somehow borked up my yahoo email in gmail app, when yahoo email forced a password change. Couldn't get it to work anymore and couldn't remove the instance of yahoo email from the app/accounts either. Sometimes I think Google intentionally sets things up to not work very well with competitors' stuff like this.
I'm using K-9 mail app for yahoo email now, works well enough for me.
Not seeing the moto email client on play...
I just gave up on pre installed mail apps altogether and have been using CloudMagic client as my default. Odd name I know, but its easily one of the best email clients I've used on android.
I just started using blue mail and really like the looks and feel. I used kaiten forever but it started giving me problems with this phone.

I actually prefer to keep my emails separate. I use yahoo app for Yahoo mail. Gmail for my gmail accounts. Outlook for exchange and my Hotmail account.
I like it organized and separated better that way. Especially since I have two business accounts it helps to keep it organized and my exchange accounts always sync perfect via outlook

Another vote for K-9 Mail.
My issue with CloudMagic (if I remember correctly), they store your emails on their servers. They also spam you with ads unless you specifically opt-out.
You have to have an outside link to view the Moto email client on the play store. I wonder why it's not compatible with their flagship phone? I also would like to use this app.
For my work exchange account, Outlook is doing OK so far. But I'd sure like to find a way to force the new Moto mail app onto our devices.
I use Nine for exchange.

Does nine or k9 allow you to bypass exchange security like mailwise?
Thanks for all the suggestions, but has anyone found an answer to the original question? how do I default back to the stock email client on the Moto? The instructions Google provides don't match with what I see on my screen...
Thanks
the moto email client used to be the AOSP email client, until google made gmail app handle all mail types from what i understand. You would have to root and unlock to get the old AOSP mail app.
Theres a new moto mail app that is supposed to be on the new droid coming out but it shows incompatible for our pure, maybe in the future that will be available.
Not sure if i'm the only one who uses the Stock SS Email App, but I noticed that it seems the new S7 version is MUCH more limited than the previous S6 version. For instance, there are no selective sync options - i can't choose not to sync contacts/calendar/messages. In fact, it seems text syncing is completely gone for some reason.
Anyone else noticed this?? Looks like I'll just wait for root and install the S6 apks lol
Gmail all the way

'Nine' for work mails, Gmail for personal. Can't beat that setup IMO!

The problem is that no "third-party" app supports the text syncing :/
Also, my personal IMAP email SSL settings are not supported by some apps as well... i'm in this like small bubble of issues from every direction
Did you try Aqua Mail?
The problem is, for the time being the only app that supports email notifications on the always-on screen is Samsung's email app...

It is the same as it was on the Note 5. To choose your syncing options, go into Phone Settings then Accounts. Select your email account and you will have the Sync option for Calendar, Contacts, Email, and Tasks.
Nine for exchange, Inbox or Gmail for Google mail. Don't use the bad built in OEM email apps.

I guess it depends on what type of email account you are using? I use an exchange account and have all 4 options.
On my Gmail account, I have 13 sync options for it.
I just added one of my IMAP accounts and only have the Email Sync option for it like in your screenshot. But for that account, that is all it should have as there is no Calendar, Contacts, or Tasks associated with it.

VERY weird. So i decided, based on your photo showing it under "Exchange Account" rather than "Email" that i would remove the account under email and add it via Accounts instead of the Email app. This worked. Not sure why adding it via the Email app resulted in the issue - oh well, all fixed!
I like the stock app, but not having the ability to move an email from the deleted folder back to the inbox has me searching for another app.
ETA: I changed the setup of my email account from Pop to IMAP and I now have the option to move an email from Trash to another folder. Feel like an idiot for not trying that before now.
I also use the stock app. when I moved from Note 3 to S7 Edge, I couldn't find the auto advance option, which takes me to the next email after deleting the current one. I miss this feature.
