I use last MailDroid pro on Galaxy S2 under Android 2.3.5 during days and was happy until today. I waited message to my Google mail box more then 40 min since the message was sent without result. My synchronization method is to check server every 15 min automatically. At last I had opened UI and saw the message like this "Licence verification failure". I gave a push and programm started work again, Licence verification was completed, synchronization was finished etc. But in this case I was informed about message by sender in advance and was able to react in time. It seems as to be sure in the future I need to activite program by hands periodicaly to check the status. I found this as unacceptable absolutely. Have you plan to make process of verification more flexable? As I saw on the Russian forums I am not alone and some people met the same problem with legal pro version.
I am using MailDroid on DROIDX2, I can not get the email check interval to set. Every time I try to set it, it resets back to 15 minutes. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Also, I have 3 accounts set up, yahoo, Gmail, and a Pop3 account. The yahoo and Gmail accounts get the incoming mail within seconds of being sent, but the Pop3 account needs to be refreshed manually. I have that account set up like the other 2. Why won't the Pop3 account receive w/o being refreshed manually?
I really enjoy using MailDroid (2.22 on Kindle Fire). I can access and compose new emails without issues, however when I hit "reply", the screen blackout after a few seconds and display : "Process was killed in background. The message viewer will be closed".
I am down to one account (the only I can't get other mail client to work to send out mail) and it still happening.
My imap provider, like many, puts folders inside the Inbox folder. When I use the default mail client on my Galaxy Note (or use MS Outlook on a PC, or the native Apple email on an iPhone or iPad) all these folders are usable. MailDroid does not see them, making it completely useless for me.
I downloaded and used maildroid for about a month and half without any issues until the new update - rewrite came out and I downloaded it. Now when it tries to download new mail it locks up my android tablet and causes a reboot, after which I no longer have a wi-fi connection to the internet. Since it automatically loads when I turn on my tablet and checks mail before I can stop it, I am spending alot of time re-starting my tablet until maildroid has downloaded all of my mail and I have a chance to stop the application. Out of frustration I have uninstalled maildroid and am using my cell phone to check my e-m-mail. Is anyone else having the same problem? Will there be a fix for it? I really liked the app before they "fixed" it!
-Drafts on phone aren't syncing with gmail online.
-can we set up notification so that any contact already in our list gets some sort of precedence; or more importantly, any sender that is not on my list, can be blocked from generating a notification. (no more beeps at night from spam!)
-ability to make a rule quickly. For example; when looking at a spam email, having the ability to click on it and have the option to make a rule such as Block sender, or Subject.
-quicker syncing. (Is there a quick sync now button?)
Hi,
Recently Maildroid stopped sync with the exchange server.
It writes "Connecting..." and nothing happens.
I tried with other Galaxy device and I got my emails.
I installed other exchange app and I got all my mails.
I have Samsung galaxy s.
Thanks,
Lior.
When trying to reply or forward emails, after about 20 seconds I recieve the error, "Process was killed in the background. The message viewer will be closed" and am pushed backed into my inbox. It is happening on g-mail, hotmail, and imap accounts.
I get the same thing, every time I try to reply. Not a random occurance. I downloaded from Android App Store. Using Honeycomb on an Android Tablet. I can't use the email app because of this. Its a shame because I really like it otherwise..
For my tablet I need a mail client with customised sub folder support to archive the many mails we got. MailDroid seems to be the populair mail client to provide this functionality. Right?
I installed and configured the client and verification went OK. No complains. Sending email went supurb. Ther eis only one problem:
Loading or refreshing incomming emails does not do anything. No complains and no emails.
+ Combined and split notifications per account (split notifications include sender and subject)
+ Notification rules were updated to include notification sound filter for email address
+ Send email as plain text or HTML format
+ IMAP Subscription folders
+ Notify once option
+ Synchronization and preload was improved
+ Connection status bar
+ Counters improved for local and offline folders
+ Bug fixes
I'm considering purchasing pro, but I find it very difficult to visually distinguish which emails are read and unread. The unread emails are bold, but the distinction is very subtle and difficult to distinguish. Has this issue been previously brought forward for consideration? Thanks.
i would love to see this as well is very hard to tell if is a new unread email (maybe add a small star or highlight email ) also would love to see number of unread emails in task bar or some kind of widget 1x1 size)
Loving this app....much more user intuitive than K-9.
1. Wish the LED notification would stay on what you select...Selection keeps disappearing.
2. Wish you could select all and delete on one screen as in K9...would save a couple of steps.
After a long (and unhappy) time spent with K-9 (globally too slow and way too complicated to set up), I just switched to Maildroid. I am 99% happy with it, the only thing I miss is the possibility to assign a color of my choice to each account. If the feature exists, I couldn't find it, so please let me know where it is. If not, what about adding it some day? It's far from being vital, I can perfectly do without it, just a suggestion. So - great work, keep going!
My phone is a HTC Desire under Froyo.
UPDATE: I found the way to assign a color of my choice, sorry for having missed that ;-)
+ Embeded images support for multipart/mixed was added

+ Fixed a UI issue in Android tablet
+ Fixed Cannot retry request with a non-repeatable request entity
+ Webdav sent mail folder showed no content in body
+ POP3 move rules fixed
+ Fixed POP3 kb preload
I bought Pro for Samsung Galaxy S2. Everything works almost good. Better than K9, but there are some questions:
1. Can I find info about message size?
2. It would be great to see and understand when message has been loaded fully. Also to see the progress of loading.
If fully loaded, keep message loaded forever. Now I need push "Load full content" every time I open message.
3. How to open xls and xlsx files? (I have installed ES File Explorer and Documents To Go Full)
It works, just some temp problem. After rebooting maildroid offer to choose application for opening again.
4. Make cash for sent folder and other folders. I use it very often and like to read mail offline.
1. This is a feature I have been meaning to add
2. By progress, what do you mean? I do have a progress loading bar.
3. Known bug, fixed in 2.09
4. Long-press any folder and choose settings --> offline
1. Thank you.
2. Probably it will be part of #1. To see what size of message is downloaded from total size. It was in some mail application can't remember.
Yes you do have progress bar, but as I understand only for the text, not for attachments. There is only "Wait a moment..." and "Sorry, an operation is already running". And no way to understand how long should I wait because of no info about size and progress.
3. Great!
4. That was really useful. I must read manual!
I seem to be having a fight with all the mail apps I can find for my LG P500 running 2.2x.
Maildroid looked like a winner but it appears that there's no way to set up an IMAP account to only check for mail when prompted.
The circumstance that requires this is that I use pop-and-leave-on-server at my desktop and imap on my phone, via webmail etc. If an IMAP connection is open, the POP3 connection is locked out.
It seems there's no option but to have mail checking semi-constantly - you can turn off notifications but you can't actually stop it checking for mail.
I've resorted to turning off both Wifi and 3G when infront of my work computer, this is less than ideal however and I may shelve Maildroid entirely if I can't find a way forward on this fairly quickly. I have used both the OEM Android app and K-9 and both have other issues which are similarly annoying, It appears I may yet be out of luck....
Ah, then you have to create a new rule by giving it a name and then selecting Connection Management. Thanks, that's helpful, if a little hard to find :-)
I've set this up, interestingly despite having 'never check mail' ticked my phone just notified me of new mail. And I got locked out of my POP3 account again.
This is by design for now. The sent mail folder is a local folder shared across all email accounts. At this time, I figured the best way to find an email was to know which account it came from. This will change in the future.
Joe, any way to do this. I am migrating from a webmail client that I have been using -- to MailDroid. I really don't want to have to forward emails that I want to keep to myself.
I am connected with Exchange 2007, but it starts downloading messages from a year ago, and will not complete Synchronization as a result. Is there a way to change this, first message downloaded is from August 15th 2010. Any suggestions or advise?
+ Bunch of bug fixes
+ Print support added (you must download EasyPrint from the market or from SlideMe)
+ Better logging to help debug errors (accounts screen --> menu --> More --> Logging)

+ You can now remove prior text before replying
+ Drafts are now easier to access when clicking into an email
Technical Updates:

+ Minor UI enhancements
+ ISO-...JP fixed
Bugs:

+ Clicking reply now correctly has cursor in body
+ Fixed some sql issues
+ Fixed bug in filter by email
+ Fixed some NPE
Since updating to 1.98 I can't for the life of me find where to edit the email check time. I remember when I first installed and setup an account I was able to change the time but now that I've added a couple more since updating I can't edit the check time, or can't find where the option is.
**EDIT: actually skipped 1.98 and went from 1.97 to 1.99
I like Maildroid on paper, and just purchased the pro version, but I can't get it to connect to Zimbra (unless using IMAP, but I'd like to use exhange connections since Zimbra doesn't use IDLE as far as I know).
When tying to create the account, I get Credentials valid, etc, but errors 501 and 200.
What was the resolution for this? Setting up the account as Exchange works on other mail apps, but I can't get it work on this one. Is there something I'm missing??
A 1x1 widget that shows the number of new messages waiting (like the stock HTC mail program) would be great. That's one of the only good thing about the stock email program vs Maildroid....

Does not seem to be any support for nested IMAP folders
My imap provider, like many, puts folders inside the Inbox folder. When I use the default mail client on my Galaxy Note (or use MS Outlook on a PC, or the native Apple email on an iPhone or iPad) all these folders are usable. MailDroid does not see them, making it completely useless for me.
re:
Yes, it does. You need to click |> next to teh folder which will get to your nested folders.
issue with re-write of maildroid
I downloaded and used maildroid for about a month and half without any issues until the new update - rewrite came out and I downloaded it.

Downloading attachments
How do I get the attachments downloaded to my phone, such that even when I am offline, i can read the attachments.
Currently, I can view the attachments offline, only if I had viewed them earlier.
I am assuming maildroid downloads attachments only when you open them?
