MailDroid vs K-9

[TootNBerry]

MailDroid version 1.30 'hopefully' should be available in the next 24 hours. A whole slew of new features and bug fixes. I'll keep everyone updated.

Running pretty smooth on the Droid X. Looking forward to the update..

When you get a chance a move option while viewing a message would be handy. As it is I have to exit the message, select it (and make sure it's the only one selected) and then menu > delete.

Just curious as I hear this from many people. What is wrong with the UI? It is simple and has no "eye candy". But what is sloppy?

I was unable to get my Exchange email setup (I know its still Alpha) In manual setup, am I supposed to add the https:// for server?

I'll try and add this in the next release.

Nope. The issues with exchange I have seen usually are on the username. So assuming you are using 2007, the options for username can be:

domain\username <-- default option when Exchange is set up
username
username@domain.com
domain.com\username <-- sometimes people require the .com
domain\username:email@domain.com <-- odd, but possible

Also, it is possible that a username is different than the mailbox. For example on my test server I have an email address and a username that is very different. So my setup looks something like:

Email: iron@maiden.com
username: maiden\bruce
password: *******
server: ip address, but it can also be something like XXX.XXX.com
port: 443
Secure: checked

Funny as the stock client failed for me. Are you sure you are on 2007 as 2003 has a different owa connection path then 2007.

i cant find the options for Font size customization :/

Nevermind i found out my company uses exchange 2003. Thanks for the help

I did not add it yet ;-) Exchange took a lot more time then I would have liked.

Makes sense. I probably will support 2003 in version 1.35.

Search is coming in version 1.50. Conversation view at a later point.

I like the new dark theme. The functionality is great.

MailDroid works out of the box with AOL. However, the last two days I have noticed that the aol servers are slow. Is aol not setting up for you?

No way to set text color yet. This will probably come when I re-design the UI.
