I am using stock email/calendar app that came with my LG G2 and I am extremely impressed. LG has put all necessary features in the stock email app that one would need to handle email away from desk. For example, threading/directory search for names/folder support/rich text/attachments/urgency markers for emails.
While for calendar, you can actually look at availability for attendees , propose new time, remove/reject meeting requests with comments, set out of office responder ... This is just awesome. Having come from Atrix HD, Nexus 4, Windows Phone, HTC Evo/Evo 3D...., this has been a pleasant surprise.
Having said that, couple of things -
Mailwise has threaded support and developer is quite responsive. I would give that a shot.
For Outlook365 configuration, try server name as outlook.office365.com . This server is very responsive.

This app some some significant downsides relative to the stock LGE app, most notably it usually fails miserably to auto-configure Exchange accounts, while the LGE app tends to do it with flying colors. But if you know EXACTLY the settings you need and are prepared to enter them manually then you should be OK. It also does not thread.
WAIT, THE G2 EMAIL APP THREADS?!?! Because the G3 does not. Can you post the G2 .apk and .odex? I want to give them a try.
What you need to make Exchange works with the original Google Android 4.4.4 E-mail app are these :
Google E-mail APK
Google Exchange Services APK
It works well with LG Calendar and Contacts app.
Hope it helped

Both these suffer from the "dumbness" I pointed out earlier - they often fail miserably to auto-configure Exchange accounts and require precise knowledge of the format needed to enter things. Some people have needed to enter their email address as company\username, others as username@company.com, other as as company\username@company.com. Yet others have had to worry about the type of certificate to specify - SSL, SSL (accept all certificates), or something else. Finally, you need to know the exact URL of the company mail server - company.com, mail.company.com, webmail.company.com, etc, etc. All this has resulted in (unjustified) accusations that Google has broken Exchange in Kitkat and is refusing to fix it

While the Google stock apks continue to suffer from this dubmness, all of the Samsung, HTC, LG, Moto, etc stock apks deal with it beautifully - you enter your email address and passwords, and they sort it out with the server automatically. The most aggravating thing about the situation is that this has persisted though three minor updates of 4.4, yet the similar apps in 4.3 and 4.2 worked flawlessly. Last but not least, Google took a huge step back when they took conversation threading out of the apk in 4.4, I believe it was there in 4.3/

You probably right, I can't tell since I know the exact settings of my Exchange server.
A solution for the people who don't know these parameters would be to configure their Exchange account on another phone who has this option, and then go check the settings in the account to use them in the original Android app.
I am attaching screenshots from my device. Also, I couldn't get APK/ODEX from my device but got these from Verizon G2 stock rooted ROM.
All files go under /system/priv-app/.
Report back to us if this worked and/or if you like it.

Unfortunately these don't install on the G3. Putting them in priv-app with rwrr permissions does not trigger an auto install as it should, and attempts to manually install fail. If the odex file is present the installer does not even launch, if you delete the odex the installer launches but does not complete successfully.
One you uninstall the G3 stock app there is nothing to clear (through the UI) and the G2 app never installs so again there is nothing to clear. It is possible that the G3 app leaves traces in the file structure and it is necessary to delete some folders to get the G2 app to work, but I don't know what to delete and would rather not screw up my phone trying to find out
Hi I don't think this lgemail app would work without its LG exchange app. Could you also post it? It shall be in /system/app
That was my first instinct too, and I searched before uploading. There is no file with names exchange or exchange.apk or lgexchange.apk in the folder.
I think, unlike GoogleMail, exchange is baked into LGEmail app.
Perhaps, finding de-odexed version of LGEmail might help. Also, I don't know if there are any references to framework APK in LGEmail file that I uploaded. Not having proper framework will prohibit functioning of the app.
I think, we are off of assumption that framework between G2 and G3 is compatible....

Here is entire folder containing all files from /system/framework folder

I just installed the google email client .apk and its associated exchange services .apk.
We use office365 hosting and it synced up perfectly super fast.
I removed my accounts from the lg email app, then froze the lg email app, rebooted, and no issues.
VERY happy to have this back from the n5.

Maildroid is the best mail app android has I think, but I haven't gone through the others recently as I am very satisfied with it. The free version is less limited than before and I love the simple look of it but it also has very in depth options. Not sure if it will suit ur needs but try it.

myMail
What about myMail... absolutely worth it :good:
Been using it since before G3, didn't bother even trying the stock LG email client.
Use it for all my 5 email accounts. Supports Hotmail folders, clean UI, snappy, good overview, swift swiping between accounts!
Supposed to support exchange, haven't tried it personally.

Check out this review (not by me
) Do you have a copy of the Exchange Services apk? Seems that the link no longer points to it.
Thanks

Just suggesting,
I've had a lot of headaches trying to make my exchange work on android.
Auto settings never worked for me, i had to manually type the server user password and such.
My problem was that i was not typing the domain before username.
Im pointing this out because LG email app has a domain field and stock email app doesnt.
So what I do is I fill domain\user.name@company.com in username field on stock email app, and i use pod51015.outlook.com on server field. And it works like that. Server might be different for you.1
Yeah, IT people here gave me the server info. You should try entering manually next.1
Nine allows for this. Exchange and appointments into regular calendar. You are given the choice of applying security at the app level instead of the device level. So you only have to enter PIN when opening the app...not when unlocking the device.
There is an app called Enhanced Email that allows you to bypass security completely.
