I have my browser Gmail configured to send from my Gmail or my @gatech.edu email, so how do I select the @gatech.edu email address from the updated Gmail app?
When composing or replying to a message, you should see your default @gmail address in a bar across the top. If you tap that, it gives a drop-down menu of available addresses to use instead.
Ah, there it is now. I guess it had to sync the changes on its own. I tried manually syncing after adding the account, but it didn't give me the option until this morning.

I have gotten google sync working in all Android 2.0 roms through exchange. It syncs mail, contacts, and calendar without the need for google apps. To get this working open email, and make a new exchange account and put in your gmail email address and password and then select manual setup. Select exchange account. For Domain/Username put in "/[email protected]" without quotes. The password should be filled in from the previous field. The Exchange server is "m.google.com" without quotes. Check both boxes below and hit next. Select the checking frequency(or push) and amount to synchronize. Select which options you want below, then select next. Put in an account name and display name, then hit done. If you have corporate calendar installed, then your calendar will synchronize and so will your contacts and email. Now you have push gmail, contacts, and calendar. Because exchange will only synchronize a month of emails, I also setup my gmail as an IMAP account so I still have access to my old emails. The android email app is not as good as the gmail app IMHO, but it is a temporary solution, and new emails seem to show up faster this way!
AWESOME! The best I could do was use an app to back them up to vcard and that still eff'ed up all the names. Great work!
This is just the exchange synchronisation option from android nothing to do with gapps.

I have 3 gmail accounts setup and id like to have it open the list of accounts when i click the gmail icon instead of going to the inbox of the last openned account. Kinda of like when i get an email notifacation in the taskbar, i slide the taskbar down and click on the notifacation, it opens the accounts list, when i have email in multiple accounts. If i have email in one account, it just opens that email.
Does anyone understand what im talking about?
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.
The absence of a Twitter app that supports push notifications annoyed me for quite some time now. There is no news or whatsoever on when this function might arrive for Android, so maybe we're waiting for a thing that may never happen or only in the distant future. My Twitter app polls each 10 minutes for new messages, which is draining the battery. Setting it to a larger interval means that it takes more time before you can answer your DM's or @mentions.
So when I yesterday recieved a mail from Twitter when I got an @mention, I got the feeling that I could do something with that. I use a Gmail account for my Twitter account, so mails from Twitter will be pushed in seconds to my Gmail account. But my Gmail is always on silent, no sound, no vibration, because I recieve to many mails to allow that. I had to find another option to alert me for Twitter mails.
I made a second Gmail account, the naming is arbitrary ofcourse, in my case [email protected]. Add that address to the Gmail App on your phone (open Gmail app, go to Menu>Accounts). Now you have two accounts in the Gmail app, you can switch by pressing the name of the account in the upper right corner of the Gmail app.
For both accounts you can set different sound/vibrate profiles when you recieve new mail. My primary account is on silent and I set the second account (which recieves only mails from Twitter) is set to always vibrate. You find the settings under Menu>More>Settings in the Gmail app. Make sure the second account is is set to synchronise automatically!
So far the things that have to be done on the phone. Now you need to make a filter in Gmail on the website. Go to the website, log in with your primary account. Now click in the upper right corner on the Settings icon, click on Mail Settings. Now you need to add the mail address you just made to Forwarding, so in my case I add [email protected]. Now you will recieve a code on that mail address which you have to enter in you primary account . Don't forward any mails yet, otherwise you recieve all mail of your primary account on your new account!
Now you have set up a forwarding address. The last step you need to take is set up a filter rule in your primary account. Again go to Mail Settings, now go to Filters. Add a filter that filters all mails from @postmaster.twitter.com and forward them to the new Gmail address, in my case [email protected].
Now all is set up and you will recieve a (almost) instant notification when you are mentioned at Twitter or when you get a DM.
(ps. the last steps with forwarding and filter rules can by avoided if you change your email address in your Twitter account to the newly made Gmail address, but I didn't want to change that myself.)
The only problem seems to be that Twitter doesn't always send emails when you get a DM/mention...
On my gmail account on the mail app, I have two emails that link to it. I actually have four, but only two show up. Well, I recently deleted that website and the two email accounts that went with it. I then deleted them from gmail via settings from my gmail account via the browser.
I then deleted my gmail account from the mail app, BUT the two email accounts linked to my gmail account are still there as labels. I can't get raid of them. How?
I tried deleting them when you select folder options, but they just move further down, without getting deleted...
Might be a bug in the Mail app, but the easiest fix that comes to mind is deleting and re-adding the Gmail account.
Hi,
Open mail app, swipe from the left border, select settings, select the account you want to delete, scrool to the bottom of the setting page you have a "delete" button. That's all
Oups, i dont read the last line of the first post
