Email Client for Android Phones

[mhsabir]

I guess they are competing then - but mostly only corporate accounts have these setup, right?... apart from Google's own Gmail

right. blackberry cannot magically create push mail out of non-compatible servers. most corporate servers support push mail and that is why it works so wonderfully on blackberry devices.

I agree that the GMail app on ICS is so much more improved and near complete. Earlier I would use the EMail app as that was much faster compared to the Gmail one. Now I don't do that. Push mail has been there on gmail outside Android too I believe. I have always got mails on my phone (Nokia) instantly. In fact, before the stupid web page on my computer refreshes to show me the updated count.

^Exactly!That's why I was a bit dishearted as on Nokia I used to get mails, instantly

 

[Sushubh]

well... if i have sync on, my phone pings me faster than my web browser on new emails. this used to happen on gingerbread and the same happens with me on ICS.

Anyone given K9 a shot? I find it to be pretty good.

 

[Sushubh]

i have heard good things about it. latest reviews on the android market are not very favorable and the UI is horrible once you get used to ICS

 

[agantuk]

Tried it once, but returned to the stock app as I didn't find anything of much use to me. I am looking for a neat (visually) email client, and I haven't found one good looking and fully functional app

I agree k9 is ugly, another one worth trying is MailDroid, though I can't justify its price, for the features it offers.

 

[Sushubh]

it makes me so sad that google acquired remail and killed it.

they did open source the tech. and there are some ports available on the Apple ios platform. don't think there is an android port.

it was a fantastic app. i loved it when i used it on the ipod touch.
