Which Email App Do You Use for You Gmail Account?

**bgl321** · 08-08-2012, 01:12 PM

I was curious what those with gmail use... the gmail stock app or the email stock app or another?

I've only had this phone for a couple of weeks, so I'm still figuring everything out, but for right now I'm using the stock email app for all emails. I like the gmail app better as far as functionality, but I also want all of my emails in one spot, not spread over several different apps.

**Tkbredx** · 08-08-2012, 01:51 PM

both Gmail stock and regular stock.

Gmail stick app for my Gmail and comcast email addresses. I also use the stock email app for the comcast address which is my primary email.

I use Gmail app for Gmail and for my work email the stock. Both work awesome.

**Voice-Guy** · 08-08-2012, 06:34 PM

I use the stock Gmail app. I like the Priority Inbox. For me using the Priority Inbox & setting up filters have almost eliminated interruptions from unimportant emails.

I have 3 Gmail accounts and all are being used by the stock app just fine

Does anyone know which if any of these email apps support pinch zooming as well as hyper links? My new GS3 is due to arrive in the next couple of days and from what I've witnessed the stock app does not support pinch zooming. Thanks.

**funkylogik** · 08-09-2012, 01:12 PM

im pretty sure gmail does

**funkylogik** · 08-09-2012, 01:23 PM

**LadiJae** · 08-09-2012, 02:08 PM

Stock app

Currently the stock app for work(exchange) and ISP email and the gmail app for gmail. But I'm thinking about moving the gmail account over to the stock app as I don't really like having to check two email apps. Plus the stock gmail app doesn't have a unread count on the home screen icon.

**li2327** · 08-09-2012, 02:48 PM

I've used both but im back to using the gmail app since I have ics. I really like the new look.

**bgl321** · 08-09-2012, 04:00 PM

I keep going back and forth with both. The only real advantage of the stock email app is the unread count. But I don't like the100 email or 1 month restriction.

I was using the stock email app until I found that if you download the same email from the email server to your pc, the email would disappear from the phone. I didn't like that at all. I like to keep certain email messages on my phone for reference.

I tried K-9, but didn't care for it at all. Then I found an article detailing how to add a pop3 account to your gmail account. I added one of my pop3 accounts and have been finding this much to my liking.

I find the labels very useful for collating / storing email. I also like the spam filter. The default conversation mode puts some people off, but I find it useful. Running the pop3 account through Gmail is a great way to organize email on the phone. You can even put a shortcut on your home screen for your account using the label shortcut widget.

I currently use K-9 but have used the stock S3 mail app also. The stock app doesn't do gmail, you have to use the factory installed gmail mail app. K-9 is not up to the abilities of the newer email features so I have started using Aquamail which from a preliminary trial seems to be a really well thought out and executed mail app.

Wow. Thanks for mentioning Aquamail! I hadn't heard of it before this, but it does look promising. I'm always on the hunt for a good email app, so I'll give this one a go for a few days before deciding whether to purchase the pro license. I'm impressed so far, though.

.

Leaving the email on the server is an option in email software. It'll be in the email program's server options.

Unfortunately the stock email app on the SIII doesn't have that option. The only problem for me with the stock email app is that you lose your mail on your phone as soon as you open your email client on your pc and download mail.
