I hope this isn't a really silly question.. does anyone know how to empty the recycle bin in the GMail app on the transformer?? I have the dustbin icon available on other folders but can't find one here (or an empty option).

Because when you "Delete" emails from the Gmail app they aren't deleted, they are archived. At least that's my guess.
If you mean the 'trash' label, it does not appear there is a function to delete all. Across the board in the app, there's no 'check all' option to delete multiple messages under a label.
I would guess if you want to empty it, you'd have to do it from a PC, or at least in the desktop version of the website.
Thanks all.. yeah looks like it's not an option on the Gmail App then.

I dont know. I find the gmail for tablet a little disturbing. There certainly stuff lacking. The amount of emails downloade is only few. And when you scroll down, there's a "download more" button. That's pretty damn annoying. When you're offline you can't go back very far.
On my EVO4G, there's a setting to download weeks worth, months worth, whatever you specify. There's none of that settings on the asus mail or the gmail for tablet. But at least you can set exchange limits.
Also you can't select a range of emails. But you can select multiple and move it to another folder by putting check marks by the ones you select then hold down a couple of seconds...then drag it to trash can...the trash can will empty itself when you exit the email.
I use the stock email app for my gmail instead of the actual gmail app. Seems to work better and have more options.

The setting is under Settings > Your Gmail Account > Labels to Sync.
Lets you set the number of days, and then you can either set each label to 'Sync all' or the amount of days you set in the top setting option.
Works fine for me. I don't have but maybe 10 emails in my inbox, and they stay synced just fine.
If you've already set the above to 'Sync all', then likely it's the data-phobic behavior built into the app. Notice there's no setting to automatically display images? Likely because they don't want the application to suck down a ton of data while you're on 3G or 4G (which costs you money).
IIRC, I think Honeycomb 3.1 has some advanced settings to differentiate between being on WiFi (where you probably don't care about data limits) and 3G/4G.

I'm not getting that setting for gmail. My exchange account has amount of days to sync, but the gmail does not. How are you setting up the gmail with number of days to sync? I don't have "labels to sync" nor do I have "sync all" in my settings. Are we talking about the transformer here?
EDIT: OK nevermind...you are talking about the GMAIL app, not the email app set up with gmail account. Yeah, I guess there's more options in the original gmail app than the one from asus.

Hey guys,
I am trying this app as Samsung is apparently never going to update the Captivate to 2.2. and therefor we will never get the newer Gmail app that has font size adjustment, and other new features. Sorry but my eyes are a bit sick of looking at tiny text in the 2.1 Gmail app. So I installed K-9.
K-9 is pretty nice! Very customizable but I have a few questions:
1. There are so many settings in this app. Does anybody know of a good help site for this app? I just want to make sure that it pushes new emails to the device like the Gmail app does. What do I need to do to make sure this happens? It is showing 3 separate Sent folders. Not sure why I have that many.
2. Lots of images in emails are showing up as little blue question marks. (similar to flash sites on Safari on iPhone). What is happening here? These images show up fine on the iPhone Email app.
Thanks guys!
So it is pushing messages to K-9, but when I delete a message from K-9 inbox, the gmail inbox (webmail or Gmail app) does not reflect these changes.
Can anybody explain this behaviour?
Thanks!
I've also noticed that but it doesn't really bother me too much considering how much space Gmail gives me. So I don't really bother to delete anything anyway.
I just like my inboxes to match. Maybe there is some setting I am missing. I really want to keep using K-9 as it is really a pleasure to read email with.
not sure if i am right but pretty sure 2.2 is coming out mid-late Nov (next month)....

Unfortunately the Samsung press release is from Samsung UK, and is a little vague about 2.2 for carriers outside the UK getting 2.2.
I am not holding my breath.

I use it for my non-Gmail email accounts. Really like it. I set it to auto download emails only when Active sync is on my phone which gives me an easy way to control this function without going into settings. I don't like my email to get downloaded while I am sitting at my computer at work, but all other times. Use Tasker then to turn this setting on and off at appropriate times of day and week. Never could get this to work exactly like this in WM. I love Android!!!

Yes, I do. I use it for a work account and a second personal account but keep gmail on it's own app. There are some options that make it very nice for multiple accounts and easy access. Color coding individual accounts, alternating sync times and setting "time of day" sync schedules are just some of them.
I have tried a few email apps now and K-9 slaps them all. I am having trouble finding issues or a lack of options in this free app. Almost doesn't make since. It's worth contributing to for sure.
The only gripe i have with the Galaxy Tab is the abominably slow Email app with Exchange integration. On any app start or when return from reading an Email it takes a full 30 or more seconds to load the Email list (i sync 1 week) and more often than not the screen / app becomes unresponsive and force closes.
I discovered that unlike Touchdown the in-built Email app simply downloads all Emails (1 week horizon) in all sub-folders (i have many, organization freak...). With Touchdown i can pre-select the folders i want on the Phone/Tab, which obviously makes the number of items much smaller.
By now i don't want to change from Email to Touchdown, because I like the integration of Emails & calendar entries, etc. native, but I have to work with the tab on work Email,... can't wait for every mail for 30 sec to load
Does anybody experience this too, and are there any remedies?
thanks
That isn't the case with me. I have 27 subfolders (really), not counting Inbox, Sent, Junk and Deleted folders. I need to manually refresh all but the main Inbox.
Response time moving from folder to folder is also a non-issue, and I sync back a full month (which is thousands and thousands of emails). I don't notice any extra delay when leaving Email and doing something else on the tab either.
I'm using Push, not timed polling, and no "peak schedule" so that may make a difference.
Sounds like you might have some database corruption going on. Try going into Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/All/Email and then "Clear data". This will nuke the mail on your device without changing your account settings. Sync up again and see if you still have the problem.
If you do, go into Accounts and Sync, click on your Exchange account, and click Remove Account, then reboot the Tab. Once you've done that, set your account back up, resync, and see what the situation is.

Same with me. Very slow!!
It was the same on the original firmware/rom, on JK5 and JM6. Also performed full factory reset but it makes no difference.
Using the eval of roadsync at the moment and it works pretty well but it does not integrate very well with the calendar and contacts apps. I will probably configure roadsync for email and the built in app for calendar and contacts to get a working solution. Annoying and very disappointing!!

Be careful, it's a very OLD email.apk, from a pre-release leak of the Tab ROM.
It's missing a few features, and it has a lot more connection issues. I tried it just to bypass needing a PIN, it was not reliable.

You have to use only the email.apk and keep the original Email.odex, then the camera works fine...

I think the problem is related with security from exchange. Because when I use the stock app I have to assign a pin to access the system, and the mail app works very slow, but when I use a modded version without the security it works normally...

The implementation of Exchange on Android is screwed... I use an Exchange 2010 server and not all my folders show on my android device. And even the ones which show dont update ona regular basis (My Sent folder updates once in a while... Right now it hasn't updated for 2 weeks)
On top of it it doesn't update all the features/items. For instance impossible to have birthdays for contacts. Or impossible to modify an event from the exchange calendar (It's only possible to delete it)
Not much to say. It's disappointing on a phone. It's ridiculous on a tablet (you expect at ;east the email client and the calendar to be perfect on a tablet)
Same happens to me since the beginning, anyone has found a solution???
I think it's unacceptable
Thanks
I'm starting to wonder if I have my Gmail set up correctly.
I've been getting "double notices" when getting email....and now I realized that in my "Accounts and Sync" I have both Gmail and Asus mail set to sync...
can someone who has Gmail look at their settings and tell me what's supposed to be in that sync list and what notification settings I should have set to on?
You need the goggle account anyway to be able to use the market and stuff so you can delete the mail account (the one with the yellow envelop).
Ghost,
But that is tied to the widget....without setting up Asus email up...the widget doesn't fetch email..right?
I only have Google account on there. No ASUS Mail or E-Mail. Only one e-mail account is being sync'd on my part.

No. I don't need to check other emails so I don't have the widget.
If you ONLY have Gmail and don't need to check other emails. Then take it off.

I'm not being very clear, I can tell.
let me start over.
I like using the Asus Email widget.
Up until today, I set it up and it would show me how many Gmails I've not read, and give me one notification for each time an email came in.
I've done something wrong, and now though I see only 1 new email on the widget (that I like to use and have been using with just Gmail) ...I get duplicated notifications in the notification bar.
I'd just like to stop the double notifications and keep using the widget for gmail..I like it.
I hope that's more clear.
Go into the Gmail app -> Top right -> Settings -> [email protected] -> Notifications -> Email notifications.
Uncheck that. This shouldn't alter your ability to sync with Google, should only be the notification bars. Look in the ASUS Email widget settings and see if there's something like that, I've never used it so I wouldn't know. But that should fix your double notifications.
And yeah that clarified things for me. I thought it was Accounts & Sync problem.

Hey all!
Just got my Galaxy S6 yesterday and not sure if I am not just used to the changes in lollipop or if the changes are really that bad!
What happened to the organization of the old email app?
This may be the wrong thread and if so, please point me in the right direction.
I get a lot of spam at work, and sometimes it is easier to click on the date ticker, which selects all of the emails for that day and I can mark them as read or delete them.
Now it is just one huge stream of emails with no way to pick multiple emails at once to delete or mark as read.
Am I just missing something?
Is there anyway to select multiple emails or do I really have to go through each email individually?
And , if this functionality is not available, can anyone recommend a good email app where I can select multiple emails at once, particularly by date? Otherwise the app is pretty much useless to me.
I have an out of the box Sprint Samsung Galaxy s6 that is unrooted.
Thanks all

That is not the what I am looking for. With the KitKat stock email, you can pick the date...say Weds April 22. You click the box next to that date and every email on that date is selected. You are suggesting that I click each indvidual email which is exaclty what I don't want to do.
Any other suggestions?
Kaiten does not have that either.
That's an interesting filter/option. Not something I've needed before.

I know this is not what you were looking for but it might help someone looking for this...
to delete all emails you can long press on one email, until it is highlighted grey (or tick the box (to enable this box you can press the 3 dots and go to settings of that email and it is in there to enable tick box))
once you have one email highlighted, the top bar will turn orange and show the number of emails selected and the trash can etc...
if you tap on the number of emails selected (one at this point) there will be a drop down to say 'select all'...
I know it is not what OP wanted but I ended up here looking for this info so maybe someone else will too...
