Android and emails

[leegt5]

Alright peeps. I just jumped from Blackberry to Android and to be honest wished I had done sooner as Blackberry are now so far back now in terms of the overall user experience.

I have one question though, when I send a work email from my android phone because my signature contains a phone and fax number when the recipient recieves the email the phone and fax number are now clickable links. Does anyone know if you can stop that as my Blackberry never did this or is it just part of how new smartphones deal with phone numbers in emails ?

Which email app are you using? Gmail, mail or another ?

[mcgee9t2]

think its just how android phones show numbers.

I've found that any number in an email is recognised as a clickable link. i.e. Ebay item number. Whenever I click on them it trys to save it as a phone number.

Not sure if you can change it?

The default mail program does do that, do you use Exchange at work or pop3? You may be able to find another email app that doesn't do that, check with your IT guys first as they may have an app suggestion / reservation about installing another app for corporate email.

Yeah I'm using Exchange.

Its the way the default mail app works, pain in the backside even when you have a fairly big screen you wonder why!

However on my tablet the defualt mail app is brilliant, its asus's own mail app and its spot on, shows and displays links etc all properly, there may well me an apz of it somewhere but I highly rate it

Not sure if this helps, I believe the asus default mail client isn't an app but a widget after looking in my taskbar/taskiller if this is the case here is a link to some apk's:

It should be the Asus transformer widget, the app itself is brilliant, can only give it a go:

Otherwise use "kaiten" its meant to be very good as email app

I started using K9 and is great but it will not sync my entire exchange inbox which has a large number of emails even on wifi. Have gone back to the standard email client for now.
