IMAP Email App

---

Does anyone know of an IMAP email app that is worth using? There seem to be a bunch out there that are all iffy from what I've seen. My college account is IMAP, and I can get the correct configuration settings from them, but first want an app that is actually decent. Paid apps aren't out, but a trial first would be nice, or at least a pretty perfect review.

Thanks!

I use K-9 Mail for my comcast accounts (2 POP3), gmail account (IMAP) and my college email account (IMAP). It is HIGHLY customizable and works great been using it for years.

I just use Gmail. I probably have 6 different emails linked to it. For my college, I just it forward a copy to my primary gmail account. Then again, my college email is gmail based.

Gmail DOES support IMAP and POP.

The built in email app supports imap, I use it for my university. Just go to accounts and add it from there.

I find the built in app to be just fine and it should do IMAP, unless you tried it and are having issues. I use the built in email app for my college, except we use an MS Exchange server and it works fine.

The above two posters have better ideas. My method was to do it all through gmail on my computer and have all my emails linked to my main account, then just have 1 gmail app reading my primary account, but that's sort of a security risk. If someone gets into my primary gmail account, they can see everything.

Slayer621, why not setup 2 factor authentication on your gmail account? Your phone can be a soft-token, that way it will be more secure. When it comes to my University, they want all emails to instructors/staff to go through your main Uni account, so that's why I won't route everything through gmail.

I was looking to do it through the stock email app, but running SD5.1 ICS doesn't have the option to add an email account. I'll look into K9, but I may be heading back to Mav4 GB here soon anyways where there may be a stock email app. Thanks! I'll be back with updates.

Kinda hitting a dead end here. I'm on Mav4 and using the stock email app, I added my email address and pw, then I hit manually configure and entered what I could find from the school (Univ. of Pittsburgh, http://technology.pitt.edu/Documents...se%20Email.pdf), but couldn't get it to work. I'll be trying K9 tomorrow maybe.
