Maybe it's k9. I've never used it because I like gmail. But here's a good review of a different email client.
Better Than Gmail for Android: Boomerang For Android Reviewed
Looked at it. Boomerang does
only Gmail. I have three additional email accounts: All SMTP (w/STARTTLS) and IMAPS. Thanks for the suggestion, nonetheless.
I'm not sure what the answer will be for you Stone, so I'll just make the same suggestion I usually make in these situations: there are less buggy OS's than Android. But they also do less. Up to you to decide based on your needs
Unfortunately, of the current non-experimental systems, Android is the best, for me. I'm
hoping Ubuntu proves viable, but that's not today.
Xchange makes an excellent point, everyone has said WP runs super smoothly, also BlackBerry (not looking to cause trouble here!) is supposed to be a very stable platform for business use. The latter could definitely use the patronage too. And then there's iOS...
WP: Not on a bet! I've been dealing with Microsoft's brokenness for so long I've come to hate Microsoft and everything they're ever produced, or ever
will produce, with a deep and abiding passion. My dream, my goal, is, after retirement (in a few more years): To never have to so much as
look at another piece of MS crapware again for as long as I live!
I don't think Blackberry would suit me. Besides: Protestations to the contrary: Their prognosis doesn't look very good to me.
iOS... y'know... Apple makes some damn nice products... and I've never liked any of them for my use.
I don’t believe all Android phones/implementations are equally buggy.
I think that's clearly true. But there are other things where it's not. For example: I've been swapping email with the author of
Contacts Sync Fix. The app addresses a flaw, or flaws, in Google's code. It may or may not be this/these flaw(s) that's causing one of my problems.
As one person noted in a review of that app: "Sad that we need this app" And sad it is.
I honestly don't know what "bugs" CM10.2 has as I don't see the flaws.
CM 10.2 isn't stable, yet, is it?
As for "not seeing flaws": That happens. A while ago, in Yet Another Android vs. iOS thread, somewhere, an iPerson noted several fairly common, and recurring problems with Andorid devices as compared to iOS devices. I hit "Reply," prepared to put him in his place--until I got to thinking... and realized most of things he'd pointed-out, I'd experienced. I'd just gotten used to them, so didn't think about them any more.
After force-stopping the Google Contacts app, clearing its data, and restarting its sync: My handset appears to be behaving itself this morning. And, unlike the previous "fix" procedure I was using: It doesn't invalidate my direct dial shortcut widgets. Yay! \o/ If that works: I'll live with it.
But it should not be necessary.
Just like having to occasionally clear the device's cache from recovery should not be necessary.
