6P Default Email App?

[Emperor]

I pre-ordered the 6P upgrading from the Nexus 6. My only issue was GMail replaced Motorola email app on the phone. I see a few people have their 6Ps ... Can you tell us if Huawei has an email app?

Let's think about this deductively.... It's made by Huawei, its published through Google, Google makes and distributes Android, gmail is apart of Android, the nexus 6p is an android phone, therefore the default email app will be gmail, with a secondary email app, called email.

It is a good question.

That email app was horrible, personally use inbox for gmail and Nine or Outlook for exchange email.

Is nine really better than outlook for android?

I think so but I haven't used the outlook app in a while. I use Nine for Exchange account and gmail for personal

Do you know if nine does push for exchange?

Nine does indeed support push for Exchange. I use it for work, and Inbox for Gmail.

Thanks. Concordantly, while your approach to deductive reasoning is sound, one could oppugn your conclusion based upon precedence established by the Google Nexus 6. Made by Motorola, published through Google, Google made and distributed Android, Gmail is apart of Android, the Nexus 6 is an android phone, the default email app was gmail, ... IMHO here is where the Motorola fundamental email flaw is revealed ... When attempting to launch the secondary email app, it simply launched Gmail; Thus, no secondary email app existed. I was hoping that someone who actually has the phone (Nexus 6P) could provide some insight.

Yep way better especially for exchange, it also integrates with my main calendar so that I can see all my gmail, exchange calenders in one widget, not possible with outlook. Also the UI of Nine is so much better than outlook and feel more snappy as well. Personally I don't see all the love Outlook gets even on iOS. They say it's the best email app for gmail on iOS which I disagree. For me Inbox works well, Nine in Android for exchange and built in email app for exchange on iOS.

Thanks for this. I just installed Nine and it cleared all of my frustrations with my work email. Due to some weird security things my job has, the gmail app couldn't fully support my email more than IMAP. The outlook app couldn't either. I had access to my email but not my calendar. Well nine just cleared that all up. Thanks.

Seriously man, it's going to be Gmail... It's a Nexus phone. Anyway, have always preferred Aquamail to Gmail myself, so hereis the plug for the Aqua.

as others have mentioned, yes. I use it for my work's exchange account and it pushes. I do like that I can have a schedule where it only pushes between 8:30-5:00 M-F and doesn't sync outside of that time unless I manually do it.

Yea I saw their website just now and it looks pretty good. Outlook is free but my company blacklisted them until recently due to security flaws. Unfortunately I cannot have push mail only during certain hours as my job requires 24 hour watch.

It's user changeable. You can have push 24-hours a day or define "peak" periods. I prefer the latter but its got a lot of options

Gmail supports IMAP, POP and Exchange email in addition to Google. You can literally use the one app to cover most major email accounts.

My problem with this is that my Google account which I use to log in to the phone, download apps, sign up to things clutters my inbox.

On my M8 GPE there was no way of disabling this one account on the Gmail app

Super easy to do. In the Gmail app you go to settings, then tap on your google account. Then halfway down the page, give or take, there's litearlly a "sync gmail" checkbox.

I hope you're right.

It's a long time since I tried to resolve this, but I recall being unable to stop the primary account from syncing.

It's not going to stop me buying the 6P so I will just have to reinvestigate when it arrives

Nothing says you HAVE to use the unified inbox. I have 3 mail accounts that sync in my Gmail app but I just look at each individual inbox as I want to. They also all show different email notifications when I have new mail.
