It’sNotAllGood:WhichEmailClientShouldIUse?
Asyouhaveseeninthischapter,theGmailappandtheEmailappcanbothsupportPOP3
andIMAPemailaccounts(typicallyusedforpersonalemailaccounts).Inthenextversion
ofAndroid(Lollipop),theEmailappwillnolongerbesupported,andtheGmailappwill
supportGmail,POP3/IMAP,andExchangeActiveSyncemailaccounttypes.Becausewe
arenowinatransitionstate,theGmailapprunningonAndroidKitKatdoesnotyetsupport
ExchangeActiveSync,soyouareforcedtousetheEmailappifyouhavecorporateemail.
Ifyoudon’tneedExchangeActiveSyncsupport,youmaywanttoignoretheEmailapp
completelyandsetupyourGmailandPOP3/IMAPaccountsintheGmailapp.The
possibledrawbackofthisisthatunlikewiththeEmailapp,youcannotseeallaccountson
thescreenatthesametime;instead,youhavetoswitchbetweenthem.Ifyouwanttobe
abletouseRichTextFormatting(RTF),youcanonlydothisintheEmailapp,becausethe
Gmailappdoesn’tsupportit.Itisaconfusingtimerightnowwhenitcomestoemailon
yourNote4,buthopefullyyoucanmakeaneducatedchoicebasedonyourneeds.
