Gmail and Exchange push together in one app

Not sure if this is common knowledge or not, but one of the things that has been frustrating me the most about my first Android phone is that I seemingly needed to use both the Gmail app and the HTC Mail app in order to achieve push email for both my gmail account and my exchange account from work.
After searching I found that this is a problem with the Evo's implementation because of the limitation of HTC Mail only allowing one exchange account (and exchange accounts are the only that can use push in HTC Mail) and Gmail app only allowing, well Gmail of course.
Then I found the apk for the stock android email application. I read that this would allow for multiple exchange accounts to be setup, which obviously means Exchange will work with it, but then I can also setup my Gmail as an exchange account, and get push for both.
Thanks to rhedgehog for providing the apk here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676069
And here is the information on setting up your gmail account through exchange:
username: [your full email i.e. [email protected]]
password: [your gmail password]
server: m.google.com
ssl: yes
accept certs: yes (not really sure this needed, but I checked it)
There are some caveats to this. Through the stock email, it only presents you with the option of syncing email and contacts. Due to this, I still setup my Google account through the phone's settings interface and had the Google account only syn calendar. I did the same for my work and setup an Activesync Exchange account to just sync calendar. In the end up, I have under settings > accounts, I have two "Corporate" accounts syncing only email/contacts, one Activesync Exchange syncing only calendar, and one Google account syncing only calendar. I am not sure if this affects battery life, but being that they are all using push, I don't see how this setup would use any more life that just two push accounts doing all three (calendar, contacts, and email). Email and contacts I have run through the email's exchange account.
The other issue I have with this setup is that I have not found a widget yet that integrates with the stock email client. So far all that I have seen intergrate with Gmail app, HTC Mail app, K9, Touchdown, but not the stock email app. Also I heard this client doesn't work with attachments, but this hasn't presented a huge problem for me yet.
Anyway, hope this helps someone. I know I was just really annoyed by having to use to different applications for my emails. There is even the combined inbox or separate inboxes to view so that it satisfies those like me that want it all together, versus those who want to view them separately.

mail proxy for android?

Hello,
Please recommend me the app.
I'm looking for mail application which can receive mails from one account (corporate exchange in my case) and automatically sends (forward) this to another mail account (gmail).
probably you know another ways to do this? I'm asking about this app on android platform because my cell tariff plan is 3g unlimited, but I haven't host *nix or win at home or office to perform this forwarding.
the best way would be the check an email from exchange server from gmail account like imap and pop3, but unfortunatelly, default gmail account has support for these ones only(pop3/imap)

[Q] why are emails deleted

if i go into emails it downloads them no problem, next time i go into emails it deletes the ones already there, yet i don't receive these emails on my PC either .Why is it deleting them and is there any way to stop it

Are you using the GMail client or the other one ("Email")?
If the latter, are you using POP/IMAP, or Exchange? If it's not Exchange, I'd suggest you embrace your GMail account - you can configure it to collect email from other accounts - and use the GMail app. This has the extra advantages that you have a central contacts list, and can view your emails on any computer with a browser too.

use the other email and its a pop account ,so are you saying use g mail and set up my pop account on there, already have my g mail account set up on the email appr

There is most likely a setting to remove the mail off the server when you pull it into the app, thus deleting it off your regular mail server, and why you aren't seeing it on your pc. I'd poke around the settings a bunch and see what is up.

I set up a few POP accounts in the appropriate client, but I think the only 'delete/remove from server' option was only when emails were deleted locally. I'm not sure about the default behavior - whether it is 'download and remove from server' or just 'download a copy and leave on server'.
checking in the client settings, it's under Incoming Settings, and the options are only
"Delete email from server -"
and the two options are 'When I delete from Inbox' or 'never'.
That tells me the client should NOT be removing/deleting emails from the server except possibly when you delete a mail from the inbox. IIRC, the default setting was 'never'.
Combat, do you perhaps have a client running on a computer somewhere that may be periodically checking and removing the mail from the server? This is a common thing with email servers - someone leaves an email program running on a computer which is set to download and remove mail from the server... then the mail doesn't show up on their phone.

Incoming setting were set as never delete mail from server so unchecked it and rechecked it again ill see what happens

There's probably a setting in the Email app for leaving mail on the server, but personally I get my GMail account to pick up mail for all my POP accounts.
You can configure GMail (through the web interface) so that you can send emails out as if from your other accounts too.
For example, if someone emails me at [email protected] then it gets picked up by my Gmail account. If I then hit reply, GMail will use [email protected] as the 'from' address. If I reply to an email sent to my gmail.com address, the reply will come from my gmail.com address.
So you don't have to mess around with 2 different apps, you have all your email in one place, accessible from anywhere, with a single contacts list. Win/Win.

2.3 and Active Exchange

Now that we have 2.3, is it possible to do active exchange natively with the email app? Can anyone provide the settings for hotmail active exchange?, If not, is there anyway to make the custom folders on Hotmail show up on our phone and have it use push notification?

well i saw the option when i first configure it, so, i look for it now but dissapear... so try to run first setup and on accounts configure Active Exchange

domain
/user [email protected]
user name
user [email protected]
password
**********
exchange server
m.hotmail.com
ssl yes
ssl yes
that works for me

GSuite (Google Apps, Gmail for your domain etc) email with stock email app

Hi all,
I don't particularly like the Gmail app, and was wondering if there's a way to get Google Apps email working with the stock email app?
The problem seems to be that because the email address is not @gmail.com, the app can't understand it needs to talk to Gmail for 2-FA and such.

You'd likely have to set it up as IMAP or POP since a non-Gmail app won't interact in the same way as the native Google product.

use imap.gmail.com port 993 ssl/tls
generate a app password if you use two way authentication
