The one feature that is SORELY missed is the ability to MOVE emails from one directory to another.

I love this email app except for one thing that is becoming extremely annoying. How do you EASILY add multiple contacts in cc or bcc????? It should give you the option to select from your contact list in lieu of having to remember the email of a gazillion contacts.

I really like this client for routine daily use. 2 gripes / hopes for future devt:
1. Text on screen is way too small. Yes, you can zoom *if* using physical keyboard, but I avoid that, want to zoom, ideally pinch zoom but even tap zoom or some other method, using virtual keyboard. Bottm line: I need more control over font size.
2. Trash doesn’t work as expected / hoped.
a. Deleting trash on POP3. There’s an empty trash button, but after deleting, my trash is still full. Sometimes if I refresh, it’s fine, often I refresh and trash is still full. Huh? I can’t tell if it’s doing anything.
b. What I really want re trash is the option, on message by message basis — not only a global setting basis — to “send to trash AND del fr server at same time”, i.e. when I don’t need to view on my laptop later, and then also separate option to “send to trash but NOT del fr server”, i.e. when I don’t need to keep copy on my Droid, but do need to keep for my laptop later. Point is, I need to view but not store mail on Droid. I want to be able to del fr Droid, but sometimes keep mail for later viewing and sometimes del fr server.

Otherwise, K-9 is great.

I usability note, maybe obvious to others, but took me a while to find it: to select multiple messages at once, swipe the message. I kept trying to touch the left side green bar, and that opens rather than selecting the msg. Press to open one msg, swipe to select multiple for batch operations.

It is the solution for LG eve GW620 / GW620R
Everything seems fine now after using K-9 (remove given POP3 mail)

Will there be a wifi option added in the settings? so it does not update emails while away from home as it eats into my data allowance.

Thanks

No, you can use it with POP3 or IMAP setups

Help
My friend would like to buy a droid but Georgetown requires TLS
Seven (new email developer) does not support it
K9 has a bug with TLS
The default mail client just hangs.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for this tip! Unfortunately, I don’t see the option of setting the “sent” folder to be “sent items” so it works with you regular email system. I went to account settings (with Menu press) from the page that lists all my inbox emails, and but if I click on incoming mail server the only options I have to set are with setting up the actual imap server; there are no options for mapping folders. Any tips?

I have trouble changing my account password. The new password is not saved correctly even after multiple attempts. Only workaround I have found is to delete and re-add the account from scratch.
