New email client Boxer (well regarded on iOS, just launched on Android)

Use code AndroidPolice (case sensitive, enter after running app) to get free pro upgrade, worth €9.99.

The code won't work for long.

Upgraded it Mr E,what's so good about it?

I think it's the best client recommended on here yet, for multiple accounts anyway.

Mr E · 05-09-2014 08:35AM

Yeah seems good. I'll stick with it for a while and see if I like it.

The one thing I don't like is no distinction in the inbox between read and unread messages (in gmail, unread messages are in bold). I can use the "Unread" filter on the side panel, but that's an inconvenience and an extra unnecessary step.

Edit: I just noticed the blue dot. That'll work, but I'd prefer bold and normal text.

It's a lovely looking app but that might rule it out for me.

Can I make it use the Social/Promotions/Updates that GMail uses to filter my emails, so I only see "real people"?

G1032 · 05-09-2014 02:07PM

I've an outlook eamil account *********@outlook.ie

I can't for the life of me get this set up with Boxer. Incoming (IMAP) Server settings are fine and go through no problem but when I try to set up Outgoing (SMTP) Server I keep getting the message in the attcahed screenshot?

These are the setting I'm using:

<LI class=listItem>Outgoing (SMTP) Server

Server address: smtp-mail.outlook.com
Port: 587
Authentication: Yes
Encrypted Connection: TLS

I've tried smtp-mail.outlook.ie also but no luck.
Anyone got any ideas?

At a first glance I don't think so. That feature is so handy

this may be unrelated....

but I see some people on the google play store reviews saying that the pro version isnt really pro you have to pay a further 9 dollars or something if you want the emal app to be able to access microsoft exchange.

So if your outlook email is a Microsoft Exchange account (if its a work email address it may well be, its mostly business who use Microsoft Exchange accounts) you may have to pay boxer more to be able to use it. Apparently they have to pay Microsoft a certain amount to be able to provide services for exchange accounts so therefore haveing to charge you.

Thanks for the reply but I don't think that's the issue. It's just a regular webmail account with nothing to do with work!!
Don't read work mails on my own time!!!!

No push on exchange is a bit of a balls, it's a pity as the app is absolutely lovely to use.

Had a look at it and some of the buttons didn't seem to fit right on my screen, things look a bit skewed and misaligned.

Anyway, I'll be sticking to Blue Mail for now. Tried loads, and I think it's the best on balance between looks and function. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trtf.blue

What do people think of the new chrome update?

Turtwig · 06-09-2014 05:56PM

Where's the bloody refresh button gone?

Is there some sort of swipe gesture or something?
Pressing two buttons is tedious.

JohnK · 06-09-2014 06:10PM

I like it but I'm missing the refresh button as well

You press menu and then the refresh is there.

edit: I re-read your post and you said pressing two buttons is tedious. Which it really is. Don't know what google were thinking.

It's still there on the tablet version, why get rid of it on the phone version?
I sent a feedback message, probably not worth it but if enough people asked they might bring it back.

ThisRegard · 06-09-2014 10:15PM

Most people are complaining about it's absence on the the play store reviews. I just uninstalled the update and went back to the previous version.

Thanks, I'm such a dope, forgot I could uninstall the update, have my refresh button back now.

Had to uninstall the update to Chrome. Lack of a refresh button is dumb. I've emailed them also to request it's return

henke · 07-09-2014 11:04PM

Also, in the new Chrome is there a way to make your landing page the 'Bookmarks' page. I had it like this pre-update but now it always goes to the recent tabs which I don't want. Failing that, is there a way to stop it keeping the recent tabs there.

Hi all,

Does anyone know of an app which automatically deletes your photos and videos from your phone/SD card storage once they have been sync'd up to Dropbox?

I don't use Dropbox but I'm assuming Dropsync will do this for you.https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ttxapps.dropsync
You might need the pro version but I'd say the app can be configured to do what you're looking for
