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.

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..

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'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.
Whenever I put in the correct info it just says retrieving email indefinitely.
Anyone else used the app with or without problems?
Have you enabled pop/imap from a desktop pc in gmail itself?

Nope, but I'd really like to use the seperate apps since I have a gmail for my personal use and I have my business email which I use for my freelance work, and I'd rather keep them strictly seperate.
I misread you before, sorry. You still need to set up any other email accounts you are using to enable pop or imap access, so if its not enabled already you will get the type of error you describe, or it will just time out.
Well, it works fine on my phone with the same settings. It's set up for POP3.
I actually like the asus email- i used to be a K9 fanboy until i tried the Asus stock yesterday- have 4 diff emails going to it with no probs. The email widget got stuck on 8 unread emails for a while so i just deleted it and than brought it back and it works great.
Still use k9 on my phone and Archos 101.
I had to set each acct to pop or imap like SD said above for the asus to work correctly...

how would I set the account to POP3? also why does POP3 work for my phone running gingerbread with default mail client and exact same settings?
Anyone else have issues with the widget for the default mail app not updating with the number of unread mail? Other than that it seems pretty good to me.

That should be fixed by running the first firmware update.
Have to say, the stock email app almost good enough to tempt me away from K9.
Is there any way to get the app to download more emails though? I have about 300 emails in my IMAP account. Everytime you tap on "Load more messages", it downloads 25 messages. Have sat there downloading 25 at at time until all 300 are displayed. However, when I quit the app, then reload it later in the day, it automatically syncs and removes all my downloaded emails, until there are only 25 left in the Inbox again.
Bit annoying...
Alternatively, is there an app that combines the features of K9, with the split pane appearance of the stock app?

Yup. From the maker of K9 - Kaiten Mail. A little rough around the edges, but exactly what I was looking for (same as you).

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.

so are you using the Asus Email Widget?
I'm using the Asus Email Widget and up until just today, everything has been fine..1 notification, the widget works...
But now...I'm getting double notifications, I know it's something that I've set up wrong.

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.
You have Gmail looking on two different apps. The only one you should have it under is the Gmail app under Google accounts.

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.

Thanks! That did it!
I don't see my gmail accounts in the messaging app. When i try to add them through the messaging app I get a message that the account already exists. I've tried deleting them and reinstall them through the messaging app but the gmail account still isn't there.
Anyone have any ideas?
Havn't ever used the mesaging app, but sorta seems like extra steps if you could just use the Gmail app itself?
Yeah, I would agree. The Gmail app was made to be used for just Gmail.
I know it seems counter intuitive to use two different apps, if you have several mail accounts like I do, but I actually like having my Gmail on it's own.
Hopefully i am not interpreting the OP incorrectly.
But for me to see my gmail account in the messaging app, I had to add it as an "Email" type account and not a "Google" account.
Menu > Accounts > Add Account > Email > Enter Gmail email address and leave automatically configure account checked. Follow the on screen prompts to complete setup.

It is kinda redundant, but it does work for the messaging app and Universal inbox.
kirkgbr - thanks for the info, that worked.
JRW 28 and jimbridgman - while I don't dislike the gmail app, I like having an universal inbox where I can see all my accounts (gmail and non-gmail) in one place.
