Gmail allows you to link all your various e-mail accounts together and view them as one instead of logging into several accounts or inboxes.Those with data contracts wll likely have no dificulties using gmail on the go. However, it seems many folk cannot connect if they are using a pre-paid or payg account with their telecom provider.For these people you currently have a Java Applet version, wifi when available, or logging in via the browser (expensive). Hence the need for an application that gives the same look and functionality as that enjoyed by data conacted folk.Mike

So my question is, "then I should be able to get all my email using the pocket outlook configured to this gmail account right?"

the gmail app that I am refering to is a small client that allows for gmail to push messages to your handheld device. I used it on my Blackberry and it was great. I had heard that google was going to eventually release the same type of client for PPC. Also, I use google apps so I do not have a gmail account. i have a [email protected] account that uses gmail.

because the pop3 sync is hard on the battery. (unless you accept the defaults to sync every 2 hours.) the gmail app is not hard on the battery. at least it wasn't on the Blackberry.

I'd like to know this as well.. I hardly use the gmail java midlet because it just isnt too great. If they had a native app like google maps or something, then I'm sure they can make it much better.

That's the theory - try it out on the PC

Have you considered logging into gmail, using the help function there, and then asking google this question? Seems they'd be the ones to know, not us.
You could even inform everyone here about what their response is after you do so.

Alternative email apps - Exchange Sync

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!

Email Client, don't want to use Gmail

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

I never use pre-installed email or Gmail client. Big fan of K-9 app. Give K-9 and other apps mentioned here a try, you may find one to your liking.

Always used k9 myself. TypeMail as show some promise lately for me as well.

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.

Sincronize outlook's calendar with google's calendar?

Is there a way to make google's calendar show the appointments I save on my outlooks calendar? I couldnt make it work , I even tried downloading outlook's mail app but I still couldnt make it work

Have you tried the Outlook Google Calendar Sync tool?
How to Sync Your Google Calendar with Outlook
http://www.howtogeek.com/225489/how-to-sync-your-google-calendar-with-outlook/

I believe he is looking for an option of syncing Outlook calendar to Google calendar - which looks possible with the same app mentioned above (changing the direction of sync in settings should make it work)

I thought I was doing something wrong but apparently you have to do some tricks to get it to work
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 6P mit Tapatalk

Try Gsyncit. I use t to sync my Outlook work calendar with my Google personal calendar.
http://www.fieldstonsoftware.com/software/gsyncit4/

Pretty sure you can just sync your Exchange account to your phone through the Gmail app and it will import appointments to Google Calendar. For shared calendars you'll need an app though. I spent a week or so searching for a way to do it without an app but the only way I found that works is Team Calendar Sync. Here is a link.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teamsite.android.calendar.generated&hl=en

EVO Collaborator
You can do this with EVO Collaborator for Outlook plugin for sure, because I also have this for syncing all my mail services.
After Google Calendar Sync software stopped working, this plugin still made it possible.
I can't add links yet you can google for EVO Mail Server and find their website. The trial is fully functional for 1 week and free.

You can sync Outlook's calendar with Google's calendar without any third app the trick is adding your Outlook account when you are on the setup wizard (after you add your Gmail account) but you need to select the second option, don't remember how says Outlook or Exchange. Good luck!

If you don't have Exchange you can sync to Google Calendar through MailCal. Beautiful OWA client that looks almost like Exchange. Well worth the money.

Email application

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:
