I do. But doesn't look as nice as the Asus widget ;P
Not sure what you mean here, as the non-Gmail app does support push via Exchange ActiveSync.

Thanks.

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.
is there any way to have sense see the gmail app as an email app?
for example the productivity look screen will only show emails from the htc email app

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 have my other devices set up this way, but never thought to try it with Android because...well it's google. Do you prefer it that way? I've had Android since the G1 was released and never tried anything but the Gmail 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.

Is it an edu address thru gmail?

what I did is add another account to my gmail so that my gmail receives all of my emails and then sorts them into folders so I get them in generally one place. You can do it from settings on a computer. Worked for my ucla email which is a g.ucla.edu

You can set it up so that you will reply from the same email within the thread on the same settings page I believe. But also in the from field you can switch between email accounts

Let me clearify. I think I have an answer but I need to understand. You want to make it so that you can reply from an email sent to your school mail from your personal email? Or is it set up that way now and you don't want it that way.

No. i would ultimately like to set up the school email on its own but i am having problems getting the email to sign in and add it as an account. as a temp fix i have my school emails being pushed to my personal email. The issue now is that when i reply to the email i just got to my .edu account, it replies with from my personal email. thanks for the help. let me know if anything is unclear.

Well with my school email I can set it up through my gmail app as any other gmail address but if I want to set it up through AOSP Email or through Outlook I have to specify specific Ports and use SSL

I am look for a client that can support Gmail as well as exchange server. Right now Im using the default app on the S4 and find it to be a PITA to navigate between inboxes.
looks like K9 supports it.

Hello there!
I've noticed, that sent e-mail are not saved/moved (don't know which mechanism should be) into "Sent" folder. Well... they are, but they're just available from phone - there's no sign of e-mails on webmail or directly on desktop e-mail application (like Thunderbird or eM Client). Does any one experience similar issues?
my email app working good , sending and incoming mails all are good
Is your email account setup as IMAP?
Besides, I remember there's an auto BCC in the Settings menu that you can set to always auto BCC yourself...

For the record my favorite is Aqua Mail. It handles POP and IMAP with no problem.

I don't have this exact issue, but I noticed that any email more than a week old seems to be removed from the app and has to be searched for manually, especially the starred emails. I'm using a Yahoo account for mine though.

I'm not the OP, but the stock mail app is just a portal to these various email servers. For some reason though, the stock app doesn't continue to store messages older than about a week and you have to search the email server to retrieve them. It's annoying, but it works.
I tried using the Gmail app, but it lacked some of the features I use in the stock app. I also tried inbox and Yahoo's own app but neither of them would connect to my work email account.
So just like the OP, I'm having some issues with the stock app but it works better for my needs than the others. If you're also using the stock app, please chime in with your experience.
