When I have typed an e-mail and go to fill in the "To:" field I cannot see anyway to access an address book and I certainly can't remember them all to manually type in, I am using Gmail and pop3 and neither seem to have an address book.
I just start typing the name and a list appears. If you have no idea what their names are then you will have to start on in contacts, press the address you want and a new email will pop up. This assumes you have contacts in your Google account.
Things will be wonky unless you have an account providing "Address Book" services for lack of a nicer term.
Google Mail/Contacts is idea but it should also work with Exchange and Facebook where such information is available.

I have my browser Gmail configured to send from my Gmail or my @gatech.edu email, so how do I select the @gatech.edu email address from the updated Gmail app?
When composing or replying to a message, you should see your default @gmail address in a bar across the top. If you tap that, it gives a drop-down menu of available addresses to use instead.
Ah, there it is now. I guess it had to sync the changes on its own. I tried manually syncing after adding the account, but it didn't give me the option until this morning.
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.
The absence of a Twitter app that supports push notifications annoyed me for quite some time now. There is no news or whatsoever on when this function might arrive for Android, so maybe we're waiting for a thing that may never happen or only in the distant future. My Twitter app polls each 10 minutes for new messages, which is draining the battery. Setting it to a larger interval means that it takes more time before you can answer your DM's or @mentions.
So when I yesterday recieved a mail from Twitter when I got an @mention, I got the feeling that I could do something with that. I use a Gmail account for my Twitter account, so mails from Twitter will be pushed in seconds to my Gmail account. But my Gmail is always on silent, no sound, no vibration, because I recieve to many mails to allow that. I had to find another option to alert me for Twitter mails.
I made a second Gmail account, the naming is arbitrary ofcourse, in my case [email protected]. Add that address to the Gmail App on your phone (open Gmail app, go to Menu>Accounts). Now you have two accounts in the Gmail app, you can switch by pressing the name of the account in the upper right corner of the Gmail app.
For both accounts you can set different sound/vibrate profiles when you recieve new mail. My primary account is on silent and I set the second account (which recieves only mails from Twitter) is set to always vibrate. You find the settings under Menu>More>Settings in the Gmail app. Make sure the second account is is set to synchronise automatically!
So far the things that have to be done on the phone. Now you need to make a filter in Gmail on the website. Go to the website, log in with your primary account. Now click in the upper right corner on the Settings icon, click on Mail Settings. Now you need to add the mail address you just made to Forwarding, so in my case I add [email protected]. Now you will recieve a code on that mail address which you have to enter in you primary account . Don't forward any mails yet, otherwise you recieve all mail of your primary account on your new account!
Now you have set up a forwarding address. The last step you need to take is set up a filter rule in your primary account. Again go to Mail Settings, now go to Filters. Add a filter that filters all mails from @postmaster.twitter.com and forward them to the new Gmail address, in my case [email protected].
Now all is set up and you will recieve a (almost) instant notification when you are mentioned at Twitter or when you get a DM.
(ps. the last steps with forwarding and filter rules can by avoided if you change your email address in your Twitter account to the newly made Gmail address, but I didn't want to change that myself.)
The only problem seems to be that Twitter doesn't always send emails when you get a DM/mention...
Most of the entries in my contact list are personal contacts. I have added their emails in the contacts and can directly use these email addresses from any email client like K-9 or YahooMail.
However, I also have another email address book on my laptop for office clients/suppliers. Most of these are not in my contact list as I never need to call them. Is there any way that I can setup a separate email address book without adding to my contacts list?
Hi, new to the forum so not sure if I have posted in the correct place.
I have a question about google and gmail accounts:
I have already signed up for a google account and use my existing email address from demon (broadband provider) as the user id. I then had a quick look on the Gmail web page and it says that if I sign up for a Gmail email address then this becomes my main Google user id and my old email address becomes my alternate email/user id. Now my question is, what is the advantage of having a GMail address to connect to Google compared to using my existing email address? Does this enable any features that I dont currently have? If I don't need a new email address (from Gmail) then do I need to even sign up for one?
Secondly if I do decide to sign up for a new Gmail email address, how do I access/retrieve my emails? Do I setup a new account in my Thunderbird email client and collect them there? Or do I have to sign in to my account on the Google gmail web page and view them there using a Gmail client or some other method?
Apologies for the simple sounding questions but I have only just started using a smart phone and am a bit overwhelmed with the technology side of things
Well I think by signing in with Gmail you can access all functionality of your android phone. Otherwise, you can't access Play store, Google Now, Gmail, etc. By using Gmail, your contact account on your phone will be synchronize with Gmail contact, which means you don't have to be afraid to lose your contact in case you accidentally erase them. And it's easier to transfer your contacts if you decide to change your phone.
To get your emails, you only have to open your Gmail application.
Just sign up, mate.
