Default Email apk *to replace the system APK *Stock gingerbread

I got the email apk from gingerbread up and running on the nook tablet *will update with screenshot. I figured I would try and it worked so no more bitching about the stock email app being crap. You can now fix it.

How to install:
Download here
Push to SDcard
Move to system/app using root explorer *or free alternative.
change permissions to:
Code:
Read, Write
Read
Read
^ Just like that.
then reboot
and
Enjoy

Don't forget: Backup your stock email apk, just in case.

Does this replace the B&N app when using their launcher too? I'm getting very upset with it constantly re-downloading all of my email...

I'm having an issue getting this to work. Do you have to push the apk to the sdcard, or can you copy/paste it?

Rebooted twice. It would show up as Email or Mail, right? Followed all the instructions, permissions, etc.

I did so. I made sure that I followed your instructions. I'm having similar issues with changing out the keyboard, though that may be more related to the apk I downloaded.

Yep. I used adb because i was already hooked up and working on stuff. Didn't look at logcat because i was working on a compile config.
