G'day, just got the HTC One X and don't muck like the HTC mail app. A review at MoDaCo said that it was simple enough to grab the stock ICS mail app and stick it in without rooting device.

Q: Where cai get the stock app? I have looked and can't see it...seems weird to me.

Cheers

have you looked in the market plenty of email apps in there. Failing that go to XDA developers forum you will find it there

Galaxy S10

Garmin Fenix 5

Try using K9 - it's a good app.

Not entirely expert in this area but I presume it's a protected app. You could perhaps find somebody with a rooted phone with that app and do a Titanium backup or something like that and the apk should be available to side load on your phone.

Staying in Wellington. Check out my AirBnB in the Wellington CBD. https://www.airbnb.co.nz/h/wellycbd PM me and mention GZ to get a 15% discount and no AirBnB charges.

Try your luck with this version:

You may be able to install it as a regular app. It's from a current ICS AOSP build so it _should_ work, but don't quote me on that.

I dont think you will be able to run the stock AOSP email client. You will need the AOSP base. You certainly wont be able to just install it, if it does work you will have to ROOT and push to /system/app

But here it is anyway - DOWNLOAD
