Email app recommendations sought

I am looking for a reliable, functional app to be able to create a calendar appointment/task etc from an email with contents of the email included in the calendar event. Extras would be a bonus but that is my minimum requirement.
Your suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

I'm not sure such an app even exists for GMail or Microsoft Outlook...

Anyone recommend an email app for the Mac

Looking for an email app for the Mac

No. I don't use Entourage. You will find other email applications at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

Email app stopped working

MY email app, using hotmail, stopped working. I can still access the account using safari. I deleted app account and attempted to reload my hotmail, but get the message that can't verify account. Any clues?

To clarify, I did not delete my gmail account. I deleted my gmail address from the IPAD email app after it stopped working. I can access my gmail account fine using the Safari browser. But when I try to reconnect to my gmail account using the IPAD email app, it comes up with the errors above. I'm at a loss.
recommend you completely delete that email account, restart the ipad and then recreate the email account.
To restart the ipad: Press and Hold the Home and Wake Sleep buttons until the Apple Logo appears.

Email app not syncing Godaddy email accounts.

All,
I have the S3 and approximately one week ago, the email app stopped syncing my 2 Godaddy email accounts. The email app for Gmail is still working.
I've gone into
Settings > Application Manager > All > Email > Clear Data
and then again setup my Godaddy email accounts. This then syncs all the email again and I will get all current messages in my mail spool. However it goes right back to not syncing anything new.
I've tried putting it in airplane mode as I saw a post that that may help, but no. I've also removed the battery and let it sit, to see if that had any affect, but again no.
Has anyone else ran into this and if so, what have you done to correct this.
I am aware of the godaddy app, however I'd rather not use this, I kinda prefer the native samsung email app.

If you search on this forum and compare popular web hosting providers like Bluehost, Hostgator and Godaddy you will see many users have such problems with their email apps. First it seems your problem comes from your cellphone. But it is surprising that I had the same problem when I had a web and email hosting account with Godaddy and their customer service couldn't solve my problem and finally I moved my email hosting account to Bluehost and the problem automatically was solved, without any action!
So I recommend to you and any other users with similar problems to change your email hosting provider. Now that you are unhappy with Godaddy I recommend to try http://www.bluehost.com or http://www.hostgator.com companies.
I have the S3 and don't have any problem with syncing my Hostgator email accounts. So If I were you first I'd try Hostgator.

Email app makes no sense to me on either sync or folders

I have 2 email accounts set to sync manually
I just set up gmail, it connected, downloaded messages and shows the (labels)
however, nothing shows in some of them even though email is sitting in them. The inbox is properly filled.
there are 4 sitting in spam, but on the phone, this one is empty.
sent items on hotmail are empty. So see what i mean?
ALSO, sync. Right now I manually click sync and nothing happens.
ALSO personal hotmail folders are missing.
I have quite a few standard gmail folders and they showed up. I added a 'test' folder(label) in gmail. click sync to see if it shows and nothing.
the phone ought to say 'connecting' but does not.
I am on the wifi and can browse, so it is connected

The email app works fine for me (i use gmail). I think what is happening is you are getting lost with the 'days to sync' option. That option in email settings sets how many days back to sync your mail. You have the option to sync all mail, but i wouldn't recommend it, i bet it would take a very long time to sync (especially if your account is an old one). So, perhaps in some of those folders, you have no mail that is recent enough to be within what your phone is set to sync. I don't use the email app anyways, i'd rather just access it through the browser (or on a computer) but thats just me. If you want alerts to when you get email, certain email services allow you to do so (i know gmail does), and its just a simple text telling you that you have mail and the email (as simple as forwarding your mail to [email protected] really..).

IOS EMAIL APP USING GMAIL ACCOUNT

I have 2 email accounts linked to my iOS email app AOL AND GMAIL but I only get notifications for my aol account
And it also rings for my aol account but for my gmail I have to open the email app for me to see I have emails that came through
Is there anyway to change this setting where my phone can ring and notify me right when I receive a GMAIL EMAIL?

I Also received the following email from gmail. Maybe they feel Apple is no longer up to the security standard they concider acceptable...

Email apps for Android

Can anyone out there recommend a good email app for Android (Fascinate)? I'm currently using K-9, which was pretty good until I added a second email account. The Gmail app works fine, but i get very little mail at that address. I can get my Hotmail mail via K-9 but the mail from my employer's server (the second account) doesn't show up on my phone. It's possible that I set the account up incorrectly. If anyone has any pointers there, I'd appreciate it.

Cannot use preinstalled email app for yahoo email

I currently have mulitple yahoo email addresses, and am using the yahoo email app for one, but for some reason the factory email app will not allow me to connect to the other. I used to use that app for that address on my motorola droid fine. Is there any way to make the factory app connect to yahoo email, or am i basically s.o.l.?

Hi ctoth410,
Due to recent updates to Yahoo email, it is recommended to use their Yahoo email application to take full advantage of their email services and accounts. Additionally, you may be able to forward your correspondence from all your yahoo accounts to the one you have already setup and get your email that way. For email forwarding options please check the Yahoo support webpage.

Yahoo Mail push problem with stock email app

It is nice to see that Verizon is offering push services for yahoo mail (and possibly for others as well, I only tried yahoo) on select phones now, the Droid Charge being one of them. If you add a yahoo account in the stock email app, it configures it through "Verizon email gateway server" and the messages will be pushed to the phone just like gmail had been, and you will get your new messages almost instantaneously.
I previously had an htc incredible and that phone did not have that feature. My e-mails were being checked at an interval that I could select, but not pushed.
What this email gateway does is (as I understand it): 1) your phone sends your credentials to the gateway server where they are stored, 2) the server connects to yahoo mail servers with your credentials, and 3) whenever there is a new message, the gateway server retrieves and pushes it to your phone, in other words it pretty much acts as the middle man that has a notification capability. The gateway server only accesses your inbox folder and it only does incoming services. For other things such as sending messages or checking other folders, your phone connects to yahoo mail servers directly. My incredible on the other hand used to connect to yahoo mail servers directly for everything including inbox access and unfortunately those servers do not have the push capability to mobile devices.
I got the Charge over two weeks ago and enjoyed push on yahoo for about ten days. But then suddenly it stopped working. It would no longer update my inbox even when I selected refresh through the menu. If I went into other folders, they would update and I could send emails. However, my inbox would not update. I waited a day, then I went into settings/apps/manage apps and deleted the cache and data of the mail application to fix a possible glitch. (It works on the market app when all of your downloaded apps disappear from the list every once in a while due to a glitch)
I ended up with a blank inbox that couldn't download any of the messages. Then I removed the yahoo account and tried to readd. Now I get the "Fetching mailbox failed, retrying. . ." error and sometimes it retries for up to a half hour (until I manually stop it) or sometimes it says "Unable to connect to server" after a couple of minutes.
Following is a list of things I tried:
1) Set up a different Yahoo account:
Works without a glitch, push enabled
2) Try the original email account with wrong password:
Gives a credential error, so password authentication is not the problem
3) Manual configuration through selecting "Others" rather than "Yahoo Mail" in the add account menu:
Unchecking "Use Verizon email gateway" makes it work, but without push. My phone is able to connect to Yahoo servers directly with the same exact settings
I am pretty sure the problem is with the Verizon gateway server having a glitch with my email account. So someone in charge of that server has to go through the list of accounts set up and either reset or delete mine, so I can set it up again through my phone.
I called Verizon support the other day and finally talked to a level 2 rep after having to do the restart, take battery out and all that nonsense. It took them a while to understand the actual situation. It's not their fault really, my problem is complicated and a level 2 rep simply does not have that kind of knowledge. They tried to connect me to Samsung representatives, which was a waste of time, because there is nothing wrong with the hardware as it works with a different yahoo account with no problems, and it also works when connecting to yahoo directly. After spending two and a half hours on the phone, and after the rep talked to her supervisor and the samsung reps to learn more about the verizon gateway server, she finally told me I was right about the issue, and assured me that they would fix it and call me within two hours.
It has been two days, I haven't heard a thing.
What frustrates me is that there wasn't a single person there who could even grasp what could be causing the issue. They had never heard about the email gateway, I had to explain to them. I am not mad that the level 2 rep or her supervisor didn't know, but I am pretty **bleep** that they could not put me in touch with a person who did.
I know there is at least one person at Verizon who manages the gateway server, but the question is how can anyone contact him???
Verizon keeps offering these new services that are really cool for the most part, but their support system is very disconnected from their engineers/technical staff. The customer service is unable to fix problems other than billing issues, and their answer for everything else is to "take the battery out and restart the phone".
For now, I set up my account manually, without the Verizon email gateway, so I don't have "push" working. It's a shame because it is such an easy thing to fix only if I could get in touch with the right person.

UPDATE:
After waiting for about ten days, I tried setting up my e-mail the regular way (by selecting yahoo mail) again yesterday. To my surprise, it went through without a glitch. I guess the cache of the gateway server must have been reset.
I have been enjoying push for yahoo mail for the last 24 hours again. But I just noticed now, that the problems might be starting again. There are recent e-mails that don't show up on my phone, but do through yahoo's web mail page. When I select "refresh" through the menu on the phone, I see the circle in the top corner spinning for as long as I wait, but the e-mails don't get downloaded. That is exactly how my problems had started in the first place. I will give it the benefit of the doubt and wait and hope that it fixes itself.
There might be a compatibility problem with yahoo servers and the verizon email gateway because I have two gmail accounts set up with the stock e-mail the same way, both using verizon's gateway server for push, and they have both been working with no problems for almost a month. (Even though sometimes the "push" is delayed by up to 5-10 min, most of the time it is within a couple of minutes and that's fine, I'm not that picky) And when I do "refresh", ti only takes a few seconds to complete the request.
And I still haven't heard anything from Verizon.

My email app. stopped working. It doesn't open any accounts

My email app. stopped working. It doesn't open any accounts. It used to but just opens up a blank screen. Any suggestions?
Also Safari doesn't open up anything either, but used to.

try restarting the app
Normally double tap the 'home' button
all the active apps will pop up at the bottom
hold an app
once the '-' symbol appears release then find the 'hung' apps by scrolling and click the '-' symbol
click the home key
then click on mail/safari and see if that helps

Since updating to iOS 6.0.1, email app will not open and other problems.

Help! Since updating my phone to iOS 6.0.1, my email app will not open, my email/contacts/calendar settings will not open, my touchscreen is unresponsive, my battery is draining in two hours time, and my delete button only works one letter at a time (can't hold down to delete easily). I've done a soft reset and I've restored twice to no avail. This is a MAJOR problem! I'm not wanting to pay for the apple care since this may result in upgrading to the iPhone 5 (last option) and the closest apple store is an hour and a half from me.

This seems to be a common problem.
I am suffering too!
It would seem to be very shoddy from apple to allow such problems.
Not the first issue since upgrade to iOS 6.....think home button problems.
Has anybody got news of a fix?

Why BlackBerry 10 doesn't have an Email app?

I am surprised that BlackBerry 10 doesn't have a separate Email app.
I know what is the first answer: There is the BlackBerry Hub. Use that!
But then why is there an App for BBM when that is also in the Hub?
The second strange thing is that there is an icon for SMS, but that's not a separate app. It is link to the BlackBerry Hub SMS tab. So there are three types of notifications in the Hub: One that have a separate app (BBM, Phone, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), one that have an app link (SMS), and one that has nothing (Email, Notifications, PIN). This could be confusing...
Personally I only would like to use the Hub to see all of the notifications I have received. Now when I write an Email I accidentally leave the Hub on the Email tab. After when I receive a Facebook message I cannot see who wrote me because I left the Hub on the Email tab.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hey mishi,
Thanks for the post.
I appreciate the feedback on the seperate email application. I will pass on this feedback.
In the meantime BlackBerry Hub is used to send and receive emails and i'm not sure if there will be a seperate icon in the near future.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

I have been hacked on my email account and had to change my passwords .tried to go direct to my email app on my ipad but it wont let me into my emails because i have changed my email passwords.How do I change my password on the ipad to get into my email

Can anyone tell me how to change my password on my ipad to access my email app as now that I have changed my passwords for my email account I cant access my app with my new password and do I need to do this on the computer rather than the ipad?

Go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap on the account that you want to change on the right-hand side and if it's an IMAP type account then tap on the Account line at the top and one of the fields that you then get should be Passwords
