I have 3 gmail accounts, and 5 regular POP accounts through my ISP.
In one of my Gmail accounts... lets call this my MASTER account.. I have it set to check my other 5 POP accounts and then put those other POP accounts into their own labels as well as combine everything into the INBOX.
On my Samsung Droid Charge running Froyo 2.2 I use the GMAIL app... in the app I have 3 GMAIL accounts setup. I have my MASTER gmail account, my gmail1 and my gmail2 accounts.
I find that the MASTER gmail account does not get me all of my POP accounts mail right away? sometimes I get my POP mail through this gmail account delayed by at least 15 minutes or more.
Coming from a Blackberry this is very annoying because the blackberry just 'pushed' me all of my accounts right away.. almost instantly... is there a way to have the Gmail MASTER account PUSH me my POP accounts instantly?
I heard that using the android EMAIL app and manually setting up all your POP3 accounts that you are PULLING mail and have to have the phone check the mail servers every few minutes.. this will KILL your battery very fast is what I hear... so that's why I am using the MASTER gmail account to get my POP accounts as well..
second question is... on the Android GMAIL app.. is there a way to combine ALL my gmail accounts into a single INBOX? I have 3 different gmail accounts setup and I have to toggle between each one to check the mail in each account... my blackberry used to take ALL of my accounts and put them all into a single message inbox on the phone... much easier and faster to read..
thanks all!
On my Thunderbolt, I have to use the HTC email client to check all my accounts in one box. If there is a way of doing it on the native gmail client, I have yet to figure it out as well. And yes, it is annoying.
I've given up with checking POP accounts. They never seem to load anything.
go on your computer and go to your gmail.. then under the settings you can add POP account checking to your gmail account.. then install the 'gmail app' on your phone and set up your gmail account... then you should see all the POP accounts come through into that gmail account as well... I just wish it was faster for the POP accounts.. more like PUSH email...
the blackberry always seemed to get my POP accounts right away! sometimes faster than even my microsoft outlook on the computer did.. and my outlook on computer is set to check my POP accounts every minute.

Well, I might just be too dumb to do this. But as I use my primary gmail account to activate the phone, and I still want all my email accounts (including this primary gmail) to be aggregated un the email app, now I end up with two entries to this gmail account.
I just feel uncomfortable to see the "gmail" app to stand alone with one gmail account. But since that's setup to activate the phone, there is no way I can remove the gmail account in there. The best thing I can do is to check off the sync options in there (mail, contacts, calendars) but sync from the other duplicated gmail account in the "email" app.
Fortunately they don't have any conflict so far. (I mean no duplicate contacts/calendars). But I still don't feel comfortable knowing the one in "gmail" app is still there... hibernating
I am wondering if any one has a better idea to... I am not sure... maybe "consolidate" the two gmail accounts? Actually all I want is to set all the email accounts in the "email" app. Is that that simple?
Can you just forward your secondary account to your primary GMail?

actually the two gmail account are both the same account.
#1 was set up in "gmail" app when activating the phone
#2 was manually setup in "email" app simply because I like to have all email accounts (together with other hotmail/yahoo/etc) to be aggregated under one single app
Probably I didn't state it clearly enought, hopefully this time it's better.
just turn off the sync like you said. It shouldn't cause any issues. If you are rooted, and know what you are doing, you could try to unistall the Gmail app...but I'm not sure what that would do to your G2x...I know on my HD2 (when I had it), it would run fine without the Gmail app. If you try that, be sure to have a backup first of the ROM.

All my e-mail in 1 place
I like to have all my e-mail in 1 tidy place, too. My G2x is rooted. Here's what I did:
1) Set up all my accounts, both Google and otherwise, in my e-mail client (MailDroid).
2) Shut off AutoSync on my google Gmail accounts.
3) Used Bloat Freezer to freeze the Gmail app.
I like Bloat Freezer but Titanium Backup can also freeze apps.

Just to make sure I get your correct. You click in setting-->acct&sync-->that gmail acct (in gmail app not email app). Then you check off all the 4 sync items (contacts, emails, picasaweb, calendar). That's correct?
Do you still leave the auto-sync on in the parent page (setting-->acct&sync)? I am wondering if I check off that, it will stop the email accounts in the email app syncing and pushing.
I turned auto sync off completely. You can sync Cal and Contacts manually by just tapping "Sync Contacts" on demand.
After I froze Gmail, Sync Email disappeared from the list of sync-able things.
I don't like Auto Sync because of the battery drain.
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.
Hi,
Till now I am using Gmail to fetch my pop3 accounts and it is just perfect.
But it doesn't really syncing with WP.
The main question is, if I migrate my pop3 accounts from Gmail to Hotmail, is it will be possible (on my phone) to send emails from various accounts?
It will only be possible if you add the POP account's login info to your WP7 device.
as a separate mail account?
Correct. You don't really have to sync them, if you don't want to, but that will make sending replies pretty hard.
I did not understood..
How exactly I have to set the accounts?
The phone doesn't support custom FROM fields, so far as I know. You can sync your POP3 (people still use that?) accounts to the phone and reply from them, of course. If you get your POP3 accounts through Hotmail, they'll probably show up on the phone but the replies will appear to come from Hotmail.
OK, I see that here is no way to use just one inbox for now as Microsoft advertise Hotmail...
Sad because Gmail on Android works perfect, I wish here were also.
Well, you could certainly sync your POP3 accounts to the phone, and then merge the inboxes for them with your Hotmail or Gmail (or both) accounts. Then, it's a "one inbox" experience on the phone, certainly.
The main thing is not how they will look like on the phone.
For me is important to be in one place- gmail or hotmail..
Hi, this seems like a stupid question but I can't make sense of it..... old age! I have use a third party email app (on phones and tablets) for the last decade or so but it is antiquated and there are some things I really don't like. I thought I'd give Google's gMail app a try with a new tablet and I really like it except for 1x fatal flaw (dealbreaker), it forces conversation view for all gMail based accounts. I hate conversation view and regularly miss correspondence when it's on. There's a box in settings to turn it off but it does nothing if your email server is gMail.
I have read that it is possible to setup the gMail app to use IMAP to access my gMail server but I can't see any setting to do it. I am familiar with IMAP settings, etc. but the gMail app appears to just grab my Google credentials and automatically access my gMail account. Do I have to delete my entire Google account (not just account in gMail app) and then recreate it in order to set it up as IMAP?
I like the built in email app, but under sync frequency there is no option for push notifications. The most often it will sync is every 15 minutes. This is an Outlook account.
On my Gmail account however the option is there, but I don't use this as my main email account.
Anyone know a way to resolve this?
Then why don't you just configure Gmail to send and receive your Outlook mails?
Sounds like a bit of a faf. Why won't it give me the option on all my accounts?
Don't know, man. Waiting mine to arrive. I use gmail for all my mail needs.
