A better mail app?

I just bought a One X to replace my iPhone 4, mostly happy about it, except the mail app is a bit frustrating

Firstly, iPhone almost always loads the full email instantly, and the ICS app only loads the text version and I have to press a button to load images and that could take an extra few seconds per email

Second, there is no next/previous button? I have to press the back button and select another mail to open it...

Lastly, whenever I receive a new email, iPhone notifies me instantly and I'm a slide of a bar away from viewing the full email, with ICS the notification system doesn't even work for me, I have to refresh the mail app in order to see the new email.

Is there any way to fix this?

I'm using Hotmail

Use the hotmail app from Microsoft. Much better imo. Has push notifications and pinch to zoom.

I am using HTC Mail to work with Gmail. Unless I select a frequent receiving interval, the time getting the new incoming email seem a bit later than what I have used in Windows Phone and iPhone. The best mail client is iPhone that it almost get the email after couple of minutes after sender dispatching the email.

K9 mail https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...5mc2NrLms5Il0.

Or make an active sync account in the default mail app and set it to push.

My recommendation would be to install "Touch down for smart phones". It is the best mail app that i have found for my hotmail account and also does exchange.

Just rooted and installed a custom Rom. It appears my Vodafone handset had a lot of the email settings disabled. I can now have push mail and html messages in stock app.

Who was your phone from ?
