Best Android Exchange Client
-
I have been casually looking around for a better Exchange Client for my Android phone and have tried a handful of apps, but none of them have suited my needs. It seems like I either have not came across the one used by most professionals, or I have some unrealistic expectations of functionality. Any ideas you awesome people out there?
My most important need is the first one, the rest are all wants.
- Favorite specific folders (Or jump to recently viewed folders).
- Specify which folders should trigger a notification
- Specify different Sync Settings per folder. One folder use push, rest check every 10-15 minutes, etc (Trying to reduce data usage)
- Specify different Alerts for different folders
-
This is the only one I used to like on my old androids https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nitrodesk.droid20.nitroid

I use cloudmagic, it's alright. Not sure it'll do everything you want but give it a shot.

Outlook for Android just left beta today. You might give that a whirl.

Does it actually support notifications for multiple folders? most don't. TouchDown was the only one that I found that did. I wish I could find something for Windows Phone that does.

Best Exchange client for Android is an iPhone strapped to it

Yep.... The iPhone also makes a good anti-theft device. If somebody tries to run off with your android, whack them a few times with the iPhone.

I haven't found anything other that having outlook installed that does on any platform.

I switched from my Android "Email" application over to Outlook on my Note 3. It seems pretty good to me.

Why not use OWA? Something making that not a good option?

Lack of push notifications?

@scottalanmiller The OWA app or the web app? I know that Microsoft is pushing their "full" Office apps development on Android and iOS pretty hard. I wouldn't be surprised if the OWA app is deprecated soon.

Ummm... I don't know how to differentiate. Real OWA. OWA is an app and it runs on the web. It is part of Exchange.
There used to be an OWA app for Android. I believe it is now called "Outlook" though.

Whoops, confused the Android thread with the non-Outlook thread.

TouchDown does on both iOS and android. Neither android or iOS native clients do. I think the outlook one syncs all but I don't think it does well with push notifications for all folders on android anyway.

The iOS one gives me all of my folders, but only alerts on Inbox.

That's the problem with most of them.

I'm using Outlook on my Android tab but I don't use the tab very often as it's aggravatingly slow. The performance of my Lumia 620 (literally half the RAM and CPU specs) is orders of magnitude better.
-
I'll give the tab another go in the next few days. I've liked it so far. Nicer interface than the GMail app but that's not what we're discussing...
