Mail app for android?


Recommended Posts

The built in email app works just fine (Corporate Sync). That's what I use and it works flawlessly with Exchange 2010. There are known issues if his company is still stuck on Exchange 2003 or even 2007 with out any service packs.

Just remember with Touchdown if that phone needs to be wiped because it was lost/stolen via his company's exchange server (I assume that is what they are using) it will not wipe the phone only the email portion of it.

All pictures, texts, contacts etc will still be available to whoever finds it/stole it.

I'm getting my info second hand, but from what I understand there is no apparent way to forward an email, or send a photo attached to a message.

My gmail app works wonderful on android, but he is using a corporate email on the mail app that came on the phone. Maybe it's just him??

+1 for Touchdown. It costs $20 I think, but it's considerably better than the native email app on my android phone (Samsung Epic). I like the widget as well were I can switch between email, tasks, calendar etc. all on one of the main screens. A very solid program.

I can't edit the original message when I forward or reply. My wife returned her Android and went back to her Iphone (evidently you can on an Iphone) after she discovered this.

Sure you can. Just click on 'forward' and then 'respond inline'.

Edit: this only applies to gmail accounts. Not sure if that is what you were referring too.

There is nothing wrong with the native email app within Android. Not sure why so many have issues with it.

I guess that's why they make iPhones...

I agree, if you are forwarding an email why do you need to edit the forwarded material?

I am able to forward a message and add text and attachments just not able to edit the forwarded material. But if you are forwarding why do you need to???

All depends on the Android itself and the exchange server its trying to handshake with. After upgrading my company to Exchange 2010. I had a user who's Android's built-in mail app would not make the SSL handoff without erroring. Once we demo'd touchdown, it worked perfectly. No other android users in the company had this issue so I ruled out SSL/Exchange server. He was running a pretty old android tho...but seeing touchdown worked he ended up buying it so he didnt have to be forced into a new phone.

after reading this I looked at my phone and had an error. Sertificate are as you stated. Now I have been getting it frequently. Perhaps my host updated as well. Might check out touch down! Thanks Andrew!!!

Exchange 2010 and 2007 are very friendly to mobile devices such as smartphones and IPod / IPad tablet devices. Exchange 2003 needed SP2 installed to aid mobile device accessibility but once that was installed it was pretty smooth. For those wanting to get connected to a corporate account, it's a good idea to find out what version of Exchange they are on.

There are a few good step by step articles on the web about creating your own security certificate if you need to but most people ignore the certificate when setting up the email account.

In the few cases I've had trouble with the native client on the smartphone not being able to connect to Exchange, Touchdown has been the ' magic bullet ' and worked flawlessly.

A few people have complained about battery life after the corporate email account was setup, a person might can change sync intervals if this is the case, that should conserve some battery life.

Yeah got it working with a self signed cert. Going to get the real McCoy as we did for the other server so that folks don't see the error with OWA.

But go figure did mine first and had to reset all the permission to my account. Didn't need to change anything, but needed to reset them. Also mine is a Exchange 2003 account moved to Exchange 2010 so that could be an issue(hope not we have about 400 accounts and probably a quarter use smart phones. There have been a few issues with going from 2003 to 2010 as they really aren't that similar in how they do things. This has been worse than going from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2000 in how many little buggy things you need to iron out.

    • Power output is:  amps x volts = watts   If your charger is pushing 10amp at 12 volt: 12 x 10 = 120 watts.  2 banks = 240 watts.   240 watts / 120v at your outlet = 2 amp.   Efficiency isn't 100% so it's gonna be more than 2 amp on your garage circuit, but maybe like 2.4 amps.     I think.... It's been a while, LOL.  Either way 20amps output on a charger for a 12v battery isn't the same as pulling 20amps off your garage circuit.
    • Wanderer, thank you. I did look at the breakers for my garage/outside outlets and they are 20 amp.  I reached out to the company that makes dual pro chargers with the question and this is the reply I received.:     Thank you for reaching out to us here at PCS. The Sportsman series charger, although rated ay 10 amps per bank, draws only 5 amps from AC when all banks are charging. As the Professional series which provides 15 amps per bank, has a maximum AC draw of 7.5 amps with all banks charging.  
    • That’s an interesting point.  While I understand how Amps work, I can’t say I’m fully versed in the draw of modern on board chargers.   By modern code, outdoor and outbuilding outlets should be 20 Amp.  If your outside or garage outlets are 15 Amp, they’re undersized.  But that is quite possible if the garage was built before that code became enforced.   With heavy use, you may not be able to keep up on daily charging without the 10 Amp per channel charger, however that’s with very aggressive use for consecutive days.  On our June muskie trip we run up to 15 hours a day for up to 7 days on a 24V Ulterra and by mid week we’re starting to see the batteries not reach full charge.  That’s a lot of bank running at nearly 2 mph on windy shores.   We charge at a dock with up to 6 boats per dock plugged in - some with 36 volt systems.  Now I’m not sure if all the outlets are on a dedicated circuit but I’m betting they aren’t.  But they’re all 20A outlets with a lot of draw on them.  At max draw, they’re not keeping up but also not tripping the breakers.   What I’m saying, without a technical review is: you’re probably fine either way.  You probably won’t tax your batteries so much that they can’t recover on a 5 Amp per channel overnight charge and a 10Amp per channel charger probably won’t be too much to plug into your 15A outlet - if it really is a 15A.  If you’re sure, you’re sure, but I would double check if you’re not 100%.
    • Another question- I wil be running 24 volts on the trolling motor for this boat, what amperage onboard charger should I buy? Some have told me 10 amps per channel, but at full draw that would be 20 amps, and my outlets at home and where I plug in at the lake is only 15 amps, is 5 amps per channel enough to charge batteries overnite after using spotlock during the day? Thanks for the help.
