Email client contact recommendations

[pbannist]

Got my Turbo about a month ago and love it! My only real issue is in the email client - although this issue is the same in the stock email client and I also tried Nine and MailWise to see if they solved it.

I'm coming from a Samsung Galaxy S3 which did not have this issue, and also specifically referring to connecting to an exchange server, although I imagine this behavior is pretty standard.

Basically, when I'm entering the name of a recipient to send to, there are a few issues for me:

* It doesn't seem to cache the emails of users in my corporate exchange directory, so every time I type a coworker's name in, it has to go back to the server - which is useless when I have a bad signal, and in general just takes 5 seconds which is annoying.
* It sorts the recommendations so my internal contacts appear before my exchange corporate email list.

Since 99% of the emails I send from my phone are going to internal contacts, both of these issues are extremely annoying. As I mentioned I tried Nine and MailWise and both do exactly the same thing - it actually appears that this may be a generic Android element that all email apps are using.

Sorry if this is a duplicate I had trouble figuring out how to search for this issue without just getting recommendations for email clients.

Thanks for any help!

Since Exchange is a sort of "pasted on" ability in Android, you're not going to get an Outlook-type capability. Android email clients search Contacts first, then any external address books.

Try emailing the devs at Nine. I use it and love it. If you have a need perhaps they can solve it.

Thanks for the Nine reco, I might try that. I also just discovered the new Outlook preview app which solves the problem! It has some of its own issues so may need to wait for a newer release, but it does at least prioritize my contact recommendations the way I like Thanks!
