Is it just me or is the native email app atrocious?

Lots of problems with it. First, how do you get back to the main page if you got there via notifications?

Pressing back just takes you back to the home screen. Incidentally I don't think that the back button should ever take you home. That's what the home button is for... But that's an android "problem" and not the app's fault.

Does anybody have a good alternative app for non Gmail accounts? K9 still reign?

I can honestly say that I never use the stock email app on any phone.

I've been using K-9 for a long time now but recently switched to SolMail from the Play Store just to try something new and it's going pretty well so far.

I don't mind it...but it does have its problems. The thing that is bugging me most about it is no LED notification for emails. Are you seeing them when you receive an email?

Agree when I have my phone on silent I miss the LED indicator letting me know I have an email

 

[DisplacedMic]

thanks - ill check it out!

 

[DisplacedMic]

yep - the LED notification is hard to see. i was blaming that on the phone though.
it's very small and dim... i guess the screen sucks up all the juice ;-p

So it doesn't come on for you either? I was just wondering if it is a defect.

If it's an exchange account, try the one from Nine Folders. Very well done.

Press the < next to the name at the top left. It will take you back.

Nope. The only arrows at the top left when you get there via the notification bar cycle through messages. They don't take you back to the main screen.

To the left of the email address at the top of the screen there is a < sign on mine. Pressing there takes me back from a message I pulled up via notification.

mine looks different

 

[mutt_daddy]

That is different than mine. Don't see any setting to change the layout in mine. I'm on Verizon if that makes a difference.

sprint. very strange. i really just assumed you had no idea what you were talking about, but you're absolutely right - yours is obviously working the way it's supposed to. why on earth would you not want to go back to the index of messages but rather have to manually scroll through all of them?
definitely a bug.

I would just like a widget that shows only unread email and a way to cut down on how much shows in the notification swipe down. I have out set tho subject only, which works in the app but not the widget.
