First post.

I was searching for a good deal on Touchdown HD (which I was led to believe is the premier ActiveSync email client on Android). Currently Touchdown HD license costs $22.31.

Found a deal for Nine instead, a highly ranked alternative with (allegedly) a better user interface. According to the developer, the normal price is US $19.99 but currently on special for US $9.99. I paid $14.04 with my Bankwest Zero Platinum Mastercard.

Works great with my corporate MS Exchange and Outlook.com account, love the ability to set sync schedules, enable in-app encryption and passcode lock.

Key features (as per the Google Play description)
- Direct Push Synchronization with Exchange ActiveSync. Nine does not have any server to store user's Nine data. Nine app connects to user server directly. All Nine data is stored in user device only.
- Great user experience & beautiful GUI
- Multiple accounts
- Calendar and Contacts (Integrated into stock Calendar and Contacts application along with Nine account)
- Rich-Text Editor (Android KitKat and higher)
- Client Cert
- S/MIME
- IRM
- Global Address List (GAL)
- Favorite Folder (Be able to check out all of email messages including sub-folders in one special folder at a time)
- Select folders to push (Email notification per each folder)
- Automatic setup for many popular email services like Office 365, Exchange Online, Hotmail, Live.com, Outlook, MSN or Google Apps
- Full HTML (inbound, outbound)
- Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
- Hybrid Email Search (Integrate with fast local search and online search)
- Conversation Mode
- Unread Badge (Nova Launcher, Apex Launcher, DashClock and Samsung & LG devices)
- Widgets (Unread badge, Shortcuts and Email list)
- SMS sync​ (Exchange 2010 and higher)
- Supports Android Wear
- Notes Sync (Exchange 2010 and higher)
- Tasks Sync (Recurrence Tasks, Reminder, Categories)

Supported Servers
- Exchange Server 2003 SP2/SP3 and above
- Office 365
- Hotmail
- Outlook.com
- Google Apps
- Other servers(IBM Notes Traveler, Groupwise, Kerio, Zimbra, Horde, IceWarp, MDaemon etc) supported Exchange ActiveSync

  • Notice: The general Gmail users couldn't use Nine because Google had changed the policy not to support ActiveSync for general Gmail users on January 2013. You can find detailed information at below link titled “Google Sync End of Life”.
    http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=27169…
    The users for paid Google apps can use to sync with ActiveSync. Thus, the users can use Nine.

** Available Android
- Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and above

** Note
Nine is not cloud based. It stores your accounts’ passwords only on the actual device. It connects only to the actual mail servers. It stores your messages only on the device.

Note: No expiry date on the promo, thus I put 1 week from today

    It's been this price for a while now. I bought it few weeks ago and it's the best email client I've used. If you have the $5 telstra prepaid kits you can buy it for practically nothing with the credit, that's what i did.

    I've been using Blue Mail for a while, does most of what's mentioned above for free.

    Although the description of the app says that it is on special, it has been saying that for a long time (maybe even a few years). Having said that, this is the best exchange email client for Android in my view. I've tried a stack of them, and revisit them every so often (and I have tried Blue Mail), but Nine always comes out on top. The developers are also quite responsive, and the app is updated frequently with new features.

    It is well worth the asking price.

    I am happy with the Gmail app (works for both Gmail and Exchange accounts) or Outlook for Android if I want an alternative. Don't see myself paying this much for an email app.

    • foojm on 08/01/2016 - 22:43

      Fair enough.

      Nine would allow me to consolidate my personal and work SIMs into my personal (dual SIM) phone. It also integrates my corporate contacts and calendar onto that phone (in the native contacts and calendar apps).

      Besides that, some companies require the ability to remote wipe the device at any time. From what I've read, Nine limits their ability to wipe the device and only allows them to wipe the data within the email app.

  • master1 on 08/01/2016 - 22:46

    The main reason I had purchased this app in past is that if you have to encrypt your phone as part of the exchange email setup then this app will do app level encryption and you can use the normal android pattern key lock.

    This app is great, I think it does come with a trial period where you could try first. I got the app at half price directly from the 9 folders website.

    • foojm on 08/01/2016 - 22:53

      Another underrated feature is the ability to "Favourite" selected folders so their emails appear under the "All Emails" view

      This is fantastic for folks who use server-side rules for email triage.

  • Jackson on 08/01/2016 - 23:14

    A lot of these features sound great, but while I use email from my phone a lot I just don't need to be this sophisticated as I usually have access to a pc also. Is there a free trial?

    • foojm on 08/01/2016 - 23:18

      Apparently yes (2 weeks). Check out the Google Play page linked in my post.

    I am a big fan of Typemail www.typeapp.com/ which is free. Not sure about the security element with Exchange as our company runs Google Apps but it is easy to set up and the best thing is I can stop my work emails notifying me a new email has come in at night and weekends so good for work / life balance. Give it a go as it's free.
