finally flashed my phone with 2.1 and to my surprise, SE took out the main desiree I was looking forward to, exchange support in the default email client. I know moxier is there, but I need top be able to setup two exchange accounts, but really don't want to pay $20 for one of three other exchange clients. Anybody know why they took exchange out of the email client, and is there perhaps any way to install the default android email client from a different phone running 2.1?

They took it out cos it doesn't sync with calendar and possibly other elements that moxier does.. don't know how to make it work with multiple a/c's probably would be a good idea to ask SE directly if there's a way to do it with the default app set.
I wish if someone could open the native exchange support.

I switched from blackberry to the Samsung Vibrant 4 months ago. I really miss seeing HTML messages from my corporate email account. I could do this with a blackberry but I have not found a way to do this with the vibrant without a third party app. I have read that without exchange server 2007 I wont be able to see html on my Vibrant. I find it hard to believe that there is no way I can see HTML on this phone. Does anyone know of an app or setting to enable HTML support for exchange email. I don't think IT will upgrade to 2007 just because I love android!

OK...
So I've got 2.1, got it rooted and until I have the time to get rid of that horrible blue I thought I'd give Timescape another go... First up, big fail on the call log, but maybe they'll sort that with the next update later this year...
Then I had a look at using the standard e-mail so I would have my mail in Timescape. I'd been using the gmail app and moxier (for my exchange account at work). After playing around I've got two questions:
1. I had read that the android e-mail app supports exchange in 2.1 but it won't accept the details from my work server. Has anyone got an exchange account to work with the standard mail app? Or has SE decided we don't need this because we've got Moxier?
2. This may be pretty simple, but I just want to move an e-mail from my inbox to a folder.... is this not possible, or am I an idiot? (these aren't necessarily mutually exclusive )
EDIT: I read up again on this today - the active sync support is in 2.1, but it is up to the manufacturer to implement it due to licensing costs (google doesn't want to be giving microsoft money now, does it ) Which means we're stuck with moxier. All I really wanted was one calendar with everything in it (exchange and google) but the only way I can see of doing that is with a desktop sync, and we don't have desktop access to our exchange server as it is hosted (terminal server or active sync only...)

Hi,
I'm also afraid of using Moxier for Exchange sync and it's normally a "no go" for me.
But I don't have the update in Germany right now so I'll wait....and sell it after updating
I don't know why they (have to) use Moxier, but the integration has not taken place.
No merge of Moxier and X10 calendar! No Moxier widget that can be used instead.
But I think that there are not much people out there who miss the "integrated" Excange sync.
I've played with two other devices and I intend to change.
You can try K9 or ShangMail. Pretty cool apps for push email.

Oh well, thanks anyway guys. I guess I'll just have to keep things as they were...
Anyone else having trouble with the stock email app? Its brutally slow and freezes the whole phone. The problem is that it syncs with the stock calender app which I need. K9 mail does not as far as I know. I wish it was possible to remove our replace the stock email app with a newer or older or fixed version or something, but I don't have root and I don't know how to without it. Any suggestions for this problem or similar experiences?

I was having issues with the stock email app. Any message I would send from my phone it would stay in the outbox and not actually send the email. I would try manually pushing the email and that would not work. My suggestion is to try enhanced email from the market. I have been using it for a week now and the customizations above the stock email are worth the price. I believe you can Google it and download a free week trial version from their website.
You can try other mail clients but if you are using your phone for work and connecting to an Exchange (or exchange-like) ActiveSync server, take it from someone who is not only a heavy email user but also the email co-admin for a 5000 user environment, Touchdown by Nitrodesk right now is the only fully functional non-buggy exchange mail client for Android. If you are only a casual or occasional email user then Enhanced Email is ok, but still has a lot of bugs. I have a lot of experience supporting everything else out there (Including a few hundred Blackberry Enterprise users, and iPhone users) and right now Touchdown for Android is the only stable one that has feature parity with a real corporate email client.
Having said that, the stock mail client on CM7 is a lot less buggy than Samsung's, HTC's or Motorola's. So if you really need to use stock for some kind of calendar integration or because your favorite widget only supports stock mail and you are comfortable with flashing custom roms then CM7 give a try.
Hi, i'm really new to all this root/cwm/flash thing, i hope i am posting to the correct thread. It seems that the stock email client will not work on unNamed rom, probably because social hub is not installed. It just won't set up the account. (I did install social hub using the addon provided by the unNamed, but didn't work, social hub won't add any account for that matter) Gmail does work. I just wanted to point out this issue, to see if someone is having the same situation.
Sorry, i'm a complete noob.
Is there a consensus on which is the best email app? Is the stock Samsung email client good? I have a gmail account, but also a school account. Is there something other than these two that's generally considered good?
I need to get to my corporate Exchange email server and I always used Touchdown. The user interface has a bit to be desired but I liked that I didn't have to enforce a pin on my phone when I unlock my phone (with touchdown you only have to enter pin when going into the app).
Now I've discovered Enhanced Email which I like much better. No pin needed anywhere and it allows me to use the native calendar app on the s3 which I love.

I prefer the ICS email app, but without root there is no way to install it.
Or is there?
Is there any way to make the gmail app handle other addresses? It works pretty well imo.
No, the Gmail app is just for Gmail, but the original ICS email app looks exactly like the Gmail app and it can handle Gmail and other addresses. We just need a way to get it on the phone without root out a root method that doesn't trip the counter.
Is there a way to back the original Motoblur Email client after installing ElmasROM?
I've tried AquaMail, MailDroid, [email protected] Mail, they all don't work completely for me. I can't get Hotmail folders, and they get out of sync with the server. Can't mark msgs as read on server
I like not tracking down a deodexed GB ROM and trying out the email app too!
In addition, NO BLUR APPS ON CM7! this is a 2 almost 3 yr old phone and has had CM7 for ages. This question has been brought up before and answered. Use the search bar, if not on here then on google, yahoo, etc. Search before asking questions like this.

I'm using CM7 mrom (but I don't think, it's important) and K9 mail works quite well using IMAP and hotmail. I have even another account on office365, but in this case, very often, It can't connect to server (not problem in K9 - do the same on PC and live mail)
