I found the Moxier Mail app that handles everything well. However, a couple of days ago I began receiving the error message "The application Exchange Services (process com.android.exchange) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
I've been using Gmail for my personal email, the Email app for syncing with my work calendar (like how it handled the calendar better than Moxier, and Moxier for work email. So not sure which one is causing the issue or why. However, turning off the auto syncing in Moxier Mail doesn't change things so that may rule it out as the culprit.
I found the issue related to the Exchange Services problem - evidently Google added Picasa as an option to sync, but don't know why they would add it automatically. Anyway I discovered that and unchecked it along with Books and some others I don't use - and haven't received the error message since.
