I've set up HTC's mail app to use my gmail account as an exchange account and I don't see folder management anywhere. All I can see is my inbox. Am I missing something? Also unlike on the captivate when I delete mail there it actually deletes it. Any way to make it archive? I like the HTC mail widget which is the only reason I'm doing mail this way, but if it won't work I'll get over it

What don't you like about the gmail app?
It doesn't have a pretty widget heh

You have to hit menu then choose folders from the individual account, not from the Combined Inbox. The downside I have noticed is that it only pushes the inbox.

The mail widget allows you to view emails without opening the app.
I personally like the ui of the gmail app over the stock mail app, and I don't like the widgets.

What is the best email app out there. I currently use the stock email app and have tried k9mail but I don't like the way either of these deal with folders. I would like to find an email client that can actually work with folders. Any suggestions?

I personally like the pure series thats available in the market it allows you to combine your sms,email and gmail all on one widget with options for skins and such. Also allows for manual and automatic refresh I like it alot been using it for several months. good dev support etc.

Gmail is the best by far
What I was looking for was an email program that had better nested folder access more like you have on the iPhone. I gave up my iPhone for the Hero but their email program had much better folder control.
I use Gmail. Once you understand how to use labels to mark your mail folders are no longer relevant.

Gmail won't do exchange though, will it? I have the stock mail app set to 'as items arrive', and I seem to remember the gmail app won't do that (admittedly I haven't played with that app in awhile).
Googles Labels are very similar to Folders, once you understand them. Take a look at this:
http://lifehacker.com/5513040/gmail-adds-nested-labels-sneak-peek-to-labs
Also, with Gmail on my Hero, if I have Gmail open on the browser on my laptop, I can actually see the emails come in faster on the phone, and then within 30 seconds on the laptop.
I would say, give it a try, set up an account and see what happens.

I have used Touchdown for Exchange and it does support Push email if your exchange server does. It isn't too bad, and there is a trial in the market.

Well my goal would be to be able to use one app for gmail and exchange. Right now I'm using k9 for gmail (I hate the gmail app and don't really like the stock mail app either) and stock for exchange.
I'm looking for a good email widget for CM7 RC2. I just synced my work exchange account with my phone and tried K9 but it was giving me an IO Error (no idea what that mean). I've tried looking for any type of widget, but not really finding anything good. You guys have any suggestions?
Have you tried K9 mail?

I have, but it gives me an IO Error on my work exchange account.
I see there are apps like K9 but ideally I'd not want to have to re-setup my accounts, but I don't see a way to see all 4 gmail accounts in one box. If I set them up in the Mail app the delivery is delayed but the gmail app is near instant but it drives me nuts not being able to see all email in one box.
Thanks!
In K-9 setting, make your default view as unified folder.
THis way it will show you all emails from all account.

Oh I said aside from K9 so I don't have to type all my accounts hee hee
Ideally want to keep the stock gmail but guessing that isn't possible eh?
You could foward your accounts to just one.

No good for me :-(
I'm using the stock ROM and email app and it gives a choice of seeing email from all accounts on one screen. On the side it has a colored bar that shows what account the email is from. Not sure if that's what you mean.

Yeah that's the built in mail app, designed for non-gmail. To use gmails' true push functionality, one has to use the gmail client. Unlike Mail app, it allows you to add as many as you want but you have to view each separately. :-(
Guess what. If you set up your gmail as an exchange account you can get true push. Just use set up manually and use m.google.com as the server.

You're going to have to give me more detail than that
It wants the email, which I have my own domain I use through Google Apps, which for all intensive purposes is the same as google, it's just @mydomain instead of gmail.com, but all the servers are the same...
The issue is it wants a server, which the m.google.com doesn't fly with setting it up, then it wants a domain, and if I enter gmail.com or my domain it doesn't work.
I just set mine up as a test. Check requires encryption. Server is m.Google.com I left domain blank. Worked fine.

OMG You're a GENIUS (Again!). I was trying m.gmail.com and that's why it wasn't working. I changed to m.google.com and it works great as an exchange server. Thank you so much!
Seems a lot better than having to look at one box at a time in the Gmail app
No applause just throw money.

Anyone have one similar for gmail or know of a way to get this one to work with gmail?
It looks nice but I only use gmail and not an external mail...
Mine works just fine with gmail. I have two gmail accounts and an exchange work account on mine for which all are working great together.

The TF has one already...At least mine does.
It looks nice but i can't use it. 0 mails? You've gotta be kidding XD
The email icon that shows unread count?
Mine al was shows 0 and when I click on it asks me to setup email but I use the gmail email app....
The email widget had a bug. It was fixed in firmware update1. If you have that firmware and it's still not working then just remove the widget from the homescreen, reboot, and re-add the widget.
I think the OP means "Gmail" app (not gmail account). It only works on the "email" app, with your "gmail account".
And yes, it doesn't work for the "Gmail" app. It would be great if it works on the "Gmail" app as it has push notification (not delayed like the "email app"). I really like this widget, so I am forced to use the "email" app instead. I set up my gmail account on the "email" app for this to work.
I also wish that this works on the "gMail" app.
I updated and removed/readded and still doesn't show gmail count... do I have to setup gmail in the email setup or can it be just through the gmail app?

It has to be with the "email" app.
Boo---someone want to make an equivalent one for gmail?
Is there a plus to the email app for gmail over the gmail app?
there is already one for gmail？
at least it comes with my tf.....look your widget screen..the gmail widget is just next to the email widget..
Failing that, get an app free from the market called 'Elixir'. It has that as a widget now, along with tons of others.

mine said that for days then i restarted it, and it has worked perfect after that with 3 accounts. 1 gmail, 1 yahoo, 1 military account.
I just signed in with my gmail information into the Asus widget and it works fine for me. Then I turned off the Gmail notification in the Gmail App so I only get 1 notification from the Asus Email widget everytime I get new mail.

I think he means the small one that is just a new mail indicator.
You can set up GMail as an exchange account from within the device and set the GMail account in the GMail application not to sync and to sync with GMail through the EMail program instead.
Google setup up GMail as an Exchange account.
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
All nice workarounds, but it kind of defeats the purpose of a seperate and pre-installed gmail-app. I find that the gmail app works better then the stock @-app so the Asus widget would be extremely cool to display my number of new emails and with a click get me to the gmail-app...
On my Nexus, I have a really nice Gmail Unread Count widget. One for my primary account, same widget with a different colour signifies my secondary account.
Easy. Tapping either opens the correct account.
Simples.
Unfortunately, it doesn't currently work for Honeycomb. But it should be really easy to do... :/
Aside from elixir, there aren't any other Widgets that do this that I can see.. I left a honeycomb compatibility request on the review page for gmail unread count, but that was a few weeks ago and there's been no movement
**EDIT** Have emailed the developer on the off chance.. also, tried elixir and the unread count widget doesn't seem to work despite there being unread emails in my inbox..

mmm how are you able to set up 3 different account with the Asus widget account? I would love a way to add my gmail to it. right now I only have my yahoo account but love to add gmail account too. thanks
I was browsing the "post your homescreen " thread and came.across alot of people using the gmail app as apposed to the email app. I personally use the email one because of the ability to add my schools email account in it. Which one do you guys use and why?

I use both, the gmail one is pretty good.

I use both too. I use gmail for well my gmail accounts and the reg email app for my none gmail accounts. I like both
Yeah I think I'm going to use both aswell. I have 2 gmail accounts and then my school email
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I use both because it is easy to keep my personal email from work email. Just an added barrier of sending an email from the wrong account.
I use K-9 for personal mail, Roadsync for work mail, Gmail for google account type stuff.
All email accounts auto-forward back to gmail to keep a copy of everything in archive.
I have all my mailaccounts aggregated on my own server and use K9 to access them. For me K9 is the best mail client on android, not only because it can sign and encryped my mails.

Don't think so, gmail doesn't seem to be very integrated into htc sense.
You can forgo the gmail app and add your gmail account as exchange account to the default email app.

I don't know if it's better or whatever, but I am using clean rom Dev edition and the AOSP email app so I can pinch to zoom I've read arguments that polling email this way uses less battery, but who knows. The only reason I remember the trick is because it was the only way to get push email from Gmail on my iPhone
I would also love gmail to be recognized as an email app.
