Default Exchange Email Client

Thinking about getting the phone - but just have one question as this has been holding me back for a while now from getting an Android phone.

Could anyone confirm if folders and sub folders for TouchWiz email Exchange client are all on one level or have a tiered structure as per Outlook ie:

Folder 1
¦
------ Sub Folder 1

Thanks.

I can't confirm the folder structure but can confirm that Activesync works.

Thanks!

Could you confirm some other things, too?

- bi-directional contacts sync

- bi-directional calendar sync

- bi-directional sync of recurring appointments

- html mails

- confirming appointments

Hmmm. Folder structure depends on the view you look at it in. It shows all my Exchange folders in a list in the main view (there's a quick dropdown to change folder) but in folder view, it shows in hierarchy.

Bi-directional contacts and calendar have been working since the original SGS and all synced to my phone fine. Not sure about recurring appointments but it syncs all of mine from Exchange to the phone fine. HTML mail works fine too (would be a bit ****ed up if it didn't!). Never tried confirming appointments so I can't say anything about that.

Thanks for the information. That's interesting because the default Android email client on 2.3.3 does not seem to include an option for folder viewing hierarchical folders...

I'm on my first full day so can report on this a bit now.

I'm trying out the stock client with an ES 2010 server. Some nice surprises:

- Full folder structure accessible
- Server search
- Task sync (!)
- Decent interface (don't love the dark background for the email list...)
- Syncs faster than my Atrix running Froyo
- Nice little widget icon showing unread emails
- it's got a crazy 2-pane inbox view w/preview when in landscape mode (think tablet view or desktop Outlook) - this is really cool!
- Out of office setting

On the downside, the email list widget sucks - it doesn't scroll and only shows 3 most recent (not even unread) emails so that's a bit of a disappointment. Also the calendar widgets are nice but they're too large and not resizable. Thankfully Calwidget works fine.

I'm going to try to live with it. I have a paid TD license and I had gotten used to their widgets on my Atrix, but I suspect stock is more battery friendly.
Current Devices:

Fido Galaxy S4 i337m | 16GB + 64GB Micro SD | Sapphire | stock rooted | no CWM yet!
HTC One X+ | Black | N. American LTE | 64GB | Elegancia 4.8.0 (JB 4.1.1)
MacBook Air 2012 i7 2.0Ghz | 512GB SSD | Thunderbolt display
iPad Mini 32GB Wi-Fi

Thanks for the info. Would you mind posting some screenshots of the email client. I used Froyo, and I can't even do a search on my emails. I ended up using TD as well. Do we have search now? Is there pinch to zoom on emails? If not, can we resize font size? and How? sorry too many questions.

Thanks in advance.
