Idiots Question About Emails On Android+Thai


Recommended Posts

Posted

OK, the situation. My better half wants to read her emails while not being on the computer....either on the other floor, or out of the house.

So we bought a Samsung Note 2: big enough for us Dinosaurs to read small enough to carry it.

put in the wireless password

click email, put in pop3 and password.....and the emails arrive....beautiful....

now sending an english email and a Thai email....both arrive and can be read....beautiful....

but now...how can we answer in Thai, without switching the complete phone to Thai (which would cause me asking how we can answer in English).

what I don't know is also if that software keeps running and informs us if a new email arrives and how it is doing that if it is away from the office (3G?????)

Software runs in the background and sends push notifications when you have mail or you can set to check for mail at intervals.

Your keyboard should have English and Thai, try swiping the space bar left or right to switch it.

Also you should consider switching to imap rather than Pop then your emails are synced between all devices rather than have some on. Note and some on PC.

the space bar tells "EN(US)" which indicates that something can be changed. But swiping it does not change anything. It seems I must set somewhere which two languages I want. Android can't know that I want English and Thai and not English and Greece.....Or?

Here the internet isn't very stable and our mailserver is also pretty old, so I never thought for the imap. Actually I never tested it...I thought of setting her computer to delete old emails after 1 day from the server and the mobile phone to keep the emails on the server. Maybe not the most elegant solution but I think it should work....

Settings > Language and Input

Tap the gear symbol next to "Samsung Keyboard

Input languages

Tick the ones you want.

If you have more than one selected, swiping left/right on the Samsung keyboard spacebar changes languages

great, that did it.....only the old emails were gone after I did it...very strange. But now I can easily change the language.....lets see what the next problem will be....
