Hey guys, in the default Android e-mail application (between phone and browser on the home screen), I have two accounts listed: one for my Yahoo mail and the the other through my FSU school email account (non-outlook). When I receive a new Yahoo mail, I'll see an entry for it on the notification bar and I'll go and check it out. Not so with my school email account. I simply don't get notifications when I receive a new email into that account. Is there a way to change is?
I don't care about syncing things with gmail or any of that stuff. I just want to receive a notification that I have new FSU mail like I do when I have a new Yahoo mail. Thanks!

Is the account set up to check regularly or manually? POP or IMAP?
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.
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.
I have my Live mail set up to be able to send email from two different email addresses (mine or my dad's), because sometimes he will have some important business email to send and doesn't feel like sending it (figures... he has an iPhone, hehe)
I want to be able to send an email from his email, but through my account. I can see this option when I access my account online, but not from my phone (Samsung Focus, Live account set as main account)
Is there any way to do this? Or is my only option to setup my dad's account on my phone as well?
yeah, If you already have access to his email, then I would just add his email to the phone. You can select to sync only email, and select to sync manually, so you wouldn't have to get notices for every email he receives.
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?
