Downloaded this for the Evernote integration but the integration is pretty terrible. The email body is copied into a note and no text formatting is maintained so it just ends up in there as one long paragraph and attachments are lost. Very disappointed. When conversation view is turned off, I can't delete individual emails, only the whole conversation if multiple emails can be deleted. Would really like to see integration with a to-do app like Toodledo. Would also really like to see the utilization of Android's App Shortcut API so that long pressing on the Boxer app icon on my launcher would give the option of composing a new email. Finally, would like to see that ability to create new nested tags.

I was forced to use this client because of company policy along with airwatch agent. However, this is by far the worst email client I have used. The contacts sync with company address book is pathetic. And worst of all, it is eating battery like crazy - even more battery than the screen or the OS.
Annoying email sync problems (e.g. must open conversation twice to see latest message). Constant text rendering problems where email text is tiny and unreadable until you hit forward. Very unpopular at my company. Executives not happy.

GUI and functionality is great, when it works. Very laggy especially on the load screen sometimes taking 10 seconds or more when loading to display the passcode screen. Needs work. Update: Lag was fixed and works much smoother but it has been killing my battery since the last 2 updates.

Most horrible app for mails. Mails are not getting updated even after several refreshes, it is not deserved for 3.8 rating. I give 1. You are very much lagging when compared to other mail clients. Improve yourself and app.
Ramon Pallaske
Broken on Android O, please fix. I know the OS is on beta but that is the time where a developer should make sure it works. One of only two apps that don't work, anymore.

Thank you for the feedback. We will definitely work on speeding things up. Most horrible app for mails. Mails are not getting updated even after several refreshes, it is not deserved for 3.8 rating. I give 1. You are very much lagging when compared to other mail clients. Improve yourself and app.

Very sorry for any frustrations and issues you are experiencing. We would really like the opportunity to smooth these out. If you are up for it, please email us at support@getboxer.com and we will do everything we can to help. Broken on Android O, please fix.

Boxer May 25, 2017
Ramon - We will be working on Android O and it will be supported as soon as it launches. Very sorry for any trouble. Worked well on my S6. Since installing it on my S8 it crashes all the time. Automatically unchecks sync mode, blank windows appear and if it works, it's ridiculously slow. Currently using 4% of my battery an hour. I hope my company revert back to the Good Enterprise app and that app cra*p
Boxer June 6, 2017
Very sorry for the frustrations. Have you tried clearing the cache? We will absolutely work on smoothing these issues out and release an update as quickly as possible. I would expect much more from vmware. A very disappointing app. Almost all features are in place, but none of them works right. Since the last update, Androids shows that boxer drains the battery. Fix this ASAP !
Boxer May 25, 2017
We absolutely never want to disappoint any of our users. We would be more than happy to help troubleshoot! If you are up for it, please email us at support@getboxer.com and we will work to smooth this out. Since latest update contacts seem to be screwed up have deleted and re added the account with the same results. No contacts.😣 email part still seems ok. Battery life has tanked since last update. Uninstalling
Boxer May 30, 2017
Very sorry for the issues you've run into with Boxer, Tom! We would still love the opportunity to gather additional information so we can work on a fix. If you're up for it, please respond to this message. Terrible. No notifications of any email I receive, no calender add on, and all my folders I created for my inbox do not show any mail. I have to refresh my folders at least 7 times before any mail shows up and they're not even up to date. The app doesnt even save drafts. Sorry, but not satisfied at all.
Boxer June 7, 2017
Very sorry for all these issues you are seeing! We will definitely look into these and work to smooth these out as quickly as possible. Thank you. This is malware as far as I'm concerned. It gets reinstalled on my phone every time I reboot. I never installed it in the first place.
Boxer June 5, 2017
Anthony - Boxer comes pre-loaded on Cyanogen devices as we are the stock app. We would be happy to help smooth this out so if you are up for it, please email us at support@getboxer.com. We use the app as art of airwatch. There are issues when opening image attachments. You can't select to open in another app. And at times you would have to tap multiple times to open the image
Boxer May 25, 2017
Joe - So sorry for any trouble! If you are having any issues with a managed device, please contact your IT help desk and they can get you to the correct channels for support. The app no longer works and have had no email for a few days now, so now just taking up space on my phone. Waiting on a fix but not too sure how long this will take. Time to find a new replacement app......Well done guys....THANK YOU.... now fixed with your latest update.
Boxer May 23, 2017
So glad it is smoothed out for you! Thank you for updating your review, Keith. I use this with AirWatch and it will never push my emails, I need to manually refresh in order to get my emails... Very frustrating
Boxer May 30, 2017
Very sorry for the trouble, Jonathan! Have you reported this to your IT help desk? Can smash your battery life. Needs collapsible mail folder browsing.
Boxer June 5, 2017
Ben - Thank you for the feedback. We will look into adding collapsed folders. Have you tried clearing the cache in your device settings? Not working in Android O. Even though it is in beta, but unable to use the app until final release. Please fix the issue
Boxer May 30, 2017
Thanks for your feedback, Peter! We are working on a version that will be compatible with Android O. It will be ready by the time the operating system update goes live. I uninstall and then it pops up asking to be updated on Play. Why can't I keep it uninstalled???
Boxer May 30, 2017
Sorry for the trouble you're having! Boxer is the default email app for OnePlus One devices, which is why it is pre-installed. You can disable it in your device settings to keep it from installing after updates. This is the worst email app. Never syncs to email. I have to open this app and wait for it to sync to check if i have any new emails. Worst app in the market. Pathetic app
Mostly great for accessing multiple IMAP mail servers from a single app. Would be 5 stars but some emails just don't display. For example DPD delivery email just show blank.
Boxer May 26, 2017
Thank you for reporting this, and so sorry for the issue! We will look into this as soon as possible. When will you answer this "When will you support Outlook Tasks? Critical for those of us that must use Boxer with AirWatch." Android widgets don't update.
Boxer May 11, 2017
Thanks for reaching out, Jeffrey. We will see what we can do to get that on the roadmap. Please feel free to reach out to your AirWatch admin or IT help desk and let them know you would like to see Tasks implemented. Recent update has excessive battery drain. Emails don't refresh after reinstalling app. This app sucks.
Boxer June 1, 2017
Vijay- Terribly sorry for these issues you are seeing. We would be happy to help troubleshoot if you would like. Please email us at support@getboxer.com if you are up for it. App isn't bad, but it's a HUGE resource hog. Please reduce background activity. Verizon Galaxy S8 Plus
Boxer June 7, 2017
Matthew - We are looking into this as we speak and we are terribly sorry you are experiencing this! Can you please try to clear the cache? Boxer May 24, 2017
We are aware of this issue and we are working on it. Thanks, Philip! Boxer May 25, 2017
Very sorry for any trouble! Have you tried clearing the cache? Doesn't work with Android O. OPP2.170420.019 . Authentication issues, and the whole suite of VMware MDM apps suffer from UI issues upon opening get error : " Detected problems with app native libraries, libecoredevice.so, libs_main.so"
Boxer May 25, 2017
Adam - We are sorry for any inconvenience but we do not have support for the Android O beta quite yet. We are aware of this issue and will be working to smooth this out. It's fast and intuitive. I think the font size (in inbox) it's a little big. I prefer hidden avatars, it's better for little displays. I like a dark theme. Can you offer options for personalize in the settings menu? Thanks in advance
Boxer March 28, 2017
Thank you so much for the feedback. Dark theme is on our roadmap and we will take these into consideration! App is crashing most of the time, not able to disable app passcode which is not good.
Boxer June 2, 2017
Very sorry sorry you are seeing crashing. We will look into this right away as eliminating crashing is our number one priority. Not sure what bug fixes were done but the app is no longer opening on Android N on Moto G4 plus after last update on May 25
Boxer May 26, 2017
Nitin - We would be happy to help smooth this out, but we do need a little more information. Can you please either email us at support@getboxer.com or reply to this notification? Are you receiving any error messages or is it crashing upon launch? Before updation .only as email app this was nice but later can't even sign in
Overall an excellent . Can view Google email without conversation mode. Calendar has some challenges in searching but overall an excellent app.
Boxer May 25, 2017
Thank you so much for the kind review! We will work to improve searching and dig into this. When you open an email, it shows content of some other email. That is a huge bug.
Boxer June 5, 2017
We have not yet had this reported and very sorry you are experiencing this. If you are willing to do so, can you please email us at support@getboxer.com with a screenshot of what you are seeing? Unable to configure which folders to use for archive, trash, sent, etc.
Boxer May 31, 2017
Very sorry for any inconvenience! At this time, we do not support folder mapping but we will see what we can do to get this on our roadmap. Integrates well with Outlook. I love that I can quickly go through emails on receiving notification and eliminate junk.
Boxer May 31, 2017
Thank you so much for the kind words, Adrienne! Glad you're enjoying the app. Boxer June 5, 2017
Very sorry we are not compatible with Android O quite yet, but we are aware of this issue and will smooth it out soon! Boxer June 1, 2017
Very sorry you are experiencing this! Have you tried clearing the cache in your device settings? We are looking into this. Been using it for a week. Seems pretty solid. Downloaded it because I was hoping it would have a month view calendar but it did not.
Boxer June 7, 2017
Adam - Thank you so much for the feedback. We will see what we can do to implement this. Boxer May 30, 2017
Thanks for your note! If you could please email support@getboxer.com, we can help you with this. Boxer June 1, 2017
Very sorry for any frustrations. If you would like to give us more details and constructive feedback on what we can do to improve, we would be happy to hear it or troubleshoot! Very sorry for any trouble and please feel free to reach us at support@getboxer.com. Thank you! Works really well. Best app of its type I have used. Get it!
