Best Android Exchange Client

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.

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.
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...
-
Since I will be traveling to the UK I will be using a Lumia 525 and a Samsung Tab4 (both Tmobile) for the trip. Setting them up now.

Interesting choice of phone. Why the 525 and not a 635?
What email client will you be using on the Sammy Tab? -
The 525 was just sitting around from a past employee. We do not get Tmobile service here where I am so will only be using this phone while in the UK for 4 days. I wish I could justify an IPhone cause I hate the windows phones (might be better now but was horribly unstable last I used them).
The Tab I will be using OWA I think. Not sure will try out a few see what I like I have a week or so to test.
-
@Minion-Queen Make sure the 525 is updated to WP8.1. There are some significant improvements moving from WP8 to WP8.1. The 525 might come with 8.1 natively though, I can't remember.

Quick check and it's 8 but "upgradable to 8.1"

(make sure it's using the "Denim" update before yo jet off) -
Thanks!
-
Definitely upgrade.
I agree with the 635 though - I have one, I really like it even though I'm running beta Windows 10 on it and it has issues.. they are beta issues I live with.
Now I'm waiting on the 640 XL
