Is there any way to get Hotmail through the stock email app to push HTML automatically? I've set it up to push email which works fine, but I keep having to press a button at the bottom saying 'load more details' to see the email in full html.

I've tried the official Hotmail app which is awful, and was thinking of moving my mail to Gmail - only I couldn't get Gmail to push through the stock app either.

TBH I don't really want to use 3rd party apps and this is where I think I'm probably going to suffer on Android, as everything seems to rely on third party apps

Most of the apps are 'third party'. Even some of the ones that come with your phone are third party.
You won't get the full use out of your phone if you restrict yourself so badly....
Most people use K9-Mail....Give it a go.
The nice thing is you can uninstall any apps you try and don't like very very easily.

I did look at K9 last night but the screenshots of it make it look very cluttered. I suppose I could try it.

What I meant by third party apps was for main use, ie mail, messaging, locking etc. For some reason I have it in my mind that because these are all 'system' apps, third party ones will use more memory/ram etc.

Maybe I need to stop thinking iOS? lol

Try enhanced email. Not only very good at display graphics in an email its also a very good email client. I am currently using it for Exchange email, gmail and sky (both IMAP). Dont have any problems with it at all.

Is the mail app set to receive headers only or some other size restriction? Try setting it to any size and see if it makes a difference.

It's not cluttered and just works...As I said, you can try lots of them and uninstall as you discount them...
Oh yes....being free, its a steal!!
