Good Email App for Dell Streak

[Guest banterbay]

Please is anybody having or know better email app for the Streak as the stock email keep making all mails unread all the time after reading them. I am tired of this. I have used ShangMail for a week or 2. It is very good but somebody logged into my gmail from China then I changed my password and uninstall it.

Do you have idea of any better email app out there?

I use K9 Mail. It is not perfect but I haven't found anything better yet.

The most annoying thing about is that I have reconfigure all acounts (I have 11) after a ROM upgrade or factory reset. Also it is not very fast in polling mailboxes.

Hi all,

Well I've been using Seven for years now and it offers true Push E-Mail and supports most of the popular providers and is easy to set up the only cost is a single SMS message to the Ilse of Man and the latest version for Froyo is the best so far it offers a Home screen Widget and full folder support as well the ability to sync your contacts i know some haven't liked it but for me its the best i have found or used.

K9 mail and Maildroid are the best alternatives I've found. I currently use K9 but I'm waiting for one of them to implement better access to hotmail so I can commit.

I am quite happy with the stock Gmail app EXCEPT...

It's add attachment function sucks eggs.

Does anyone know which one will allow for random file attachment? I do IT consulting and frequently am asked for my CV while I am out and about.

The stock client only allows media attachments like PDF and image, that means I can't rework the cover sheet and modify the CV on the fly for the contract.

BIG hassle that is.

I was able to attach an arbitrary word doc by choosing it using ASTRO. When I click 'attach' it offers Gallery or ASTRO as options; choose ASTRO, and you can attach anything, it seems. Gallery, admittedly, would limit you to fewer choices.

My phone reports the Gmail version as 2.3, if that helps.

ASTRO is a great file manager application, on top of this. It has tons of features, plugins to connect to remote SMB(Windows network file shares), built in SFTP support. Multi-file copy/paste, tools to back up and restore (most) installed .apks... the only thing I wish it did was support remounting the read only parts of the system as read-write, on rooted devices.

Excellent!

Thanks, my other file manager didn't register itself like that.

ES File Explore works too for defaulf gmail, android 1.6

+1 For Seven, you have to sign up for the 'beta program' but I have used it on WM in the past and have found it to be 10x better on Android. Plus e-mail with full images is great. It is almost like you are reading on a desktop PC. They develop software ( Xpress Mail) for the big guys like ATT but offer free software through beta. Some of the best functioning beta software I have used, that is for sure.
