ok so I have my personal gmail account that I use for everything such as google+, buying apps, ect. Then I have my student gmail account for school and i had both on my phone, however when I have both accounts on my phone every time there is an app that has an update when I click on the notification the market switches accounts on me from my personal one to my school account which does not contain the apps. Does any one know how to keep this from happening?
for the mean time I have just been using the other email app for my student email.
go to settings and clear data for market.. it will fix it .. worked for me

I've had GMAIL since day 1.. NEVER had any issues with my account.. used it on a normal basis. Since getting into my Dinc, I've had to go through 2 account verifications with Google to get back into my account.. both times changing my password. I see that "something" has been spamming email from my account.. at first I thought it was spoofing my email address as the sender, but now I am seeing the email in my sent folder...
Question, is there an app that can monitor when this kind of activity is going on with my phone like this? It's not my computer... I forward all my GMAIL to my main email account (not gmail) so I NEVER log into GMAIL on a computer.. the only thing that is actively logged in is my phone..
Ideas?
I've had the same problem, ended up restoring an old nandroid backup & reinstalling the things i''d lost.
seems t have fixed the issue but my gmail defiantly got hacked; everyone with a hotmail account got sent spam
Just because your email account was hacked does not 100% indicate a malicious program on your phone or computer.
For example: You could have signed up for a website or forum using the same password as your email account. If that forum DB gets compromised, then your password could have been decrypted from the sql database...
It's possible some app has sent an email if:
You've entered your Google password to that app.
You've authorized that app for Google account using WWW (OAuth) or Android OS, but you didn't notice it requests permissions for sending emails.
You gave root permissions to that app and you have Google account set up in Android OS.
I think there is no other way to get access to your account.
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.
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.
So I've been away for a while and things have changed a bit with the accounts tab. It used to be in settings under account you could add all your email addresses and they would auto load to the email app. Well it seems thats not the case now. anyway I added all my accounts to the accounts tab, so it has my work email, my yahoo address, and the google account I used to sign in to the phone. Then I went into the native email app and added my yahoo and work emails. The gmail app auto loaded the gmail I have attached to the google account from logging into the phone, however I don't like the gmail app and wanted to use the native email app only. So I disabled the Gmail app in settings and went back to the native app. When I attempt to add the gmail email that is attached to the phones google account it tells me I have a user name and password issue. I have checked and rechecked and I know I'm typing it right and that the info being use is right. I'm not sure why this email won't add. any ideas???
Have you tried simply adding the account from the Mail app? Remove everything first if some stuff are already listed.

Cite from Google Play : Allowing less secure apps to access your account"
Allowing less secure apps to access your account
Google may block sign-in attempts from some apps or devices that do not use modern security standards. Since these apps and devices are easier to break into, blocking them helps keep your account safe.
Some examples of apps that do not support the latest security standards include:
The Mail app on your iPhone or iPad with iOS 6 or below
The Mail app on your Windows phone preceding the 8.1 release
Some Desktop mail clients like Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird
Change account access for less secure apps
To help keep Google Apps users' accounts secure, we may block less secure apps from accessing Google Apps accounts. As a Google Apps user, you will see a "Password incorrect" error when trying to sign in. If this is the case, you have two options:
Option 1: Upgrade to a more secure app that uses the most up to date security measures. All Google products, like Gmail, use the latest security measures.
Option 2: Change your settings to allow less secure apps to access your account. We don't recommend this option because it might make it easier for someone to break into your account. If you want to allow access anyway, follow these steps:
Go to the "Less secure apps" section in My Account.
Next to "Access for less secure apps," select Turn on. (Note to Google Apps users: This setting is hidden if your administrator has locked less secure app account access.)
If you still can't sign in to your account, the "password incorrect" error might be caused by a different reason.
It seems to be caused by Google Play Account Policy.
Would you try to low down your account security level or try to sign-in on different android device to check again?
Hope the information can help you.
That's interesting info. HTC Mail just had an update yesterday (or maybe the day before). If I were you I would try removing all mail accounts, clear data/cache for the mail app, uninstall update, reboot, install update, and try again.
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?
