Has anyone tried freezing the mail app to use a different one? I use the Yahoo mail app, but both mail apps cause notifications. How can I get the standard mail app to stop, and can I move the Yahoo mail app to the dock?
I am guessing you are rooted! Use Taitanium back up to freeze the mail app, if that does not work than go to mail app and setting and disable notification. Plus to put yahoo app on the dock just press on icon in app drawer for couple second and when you get it to home screen just put it over the Gmail app.

He wants the app to be in the dock, not on the home screen, correct? In that case you need to go into app drawer, click Menu > View Type > Customizable Grid. Then click Menu > Edit, and press and hold on Yahoo and then drag It down to the dock. Then you can click Menu > View Type again and select Alphabetical if you want them to be ordered again.

Thanks. I disabled the notifications and then I replaced the mail app with Yahoo mail in the dock. I also saw that I could add a folder (another option I wanted). So I made a folder for all my frozen apps.

Is there a way to have the regular email client show u how many unread emails u have??? When I look at settings under launcher pro it only shows Gmail SMS and phone notifications. Would love to have an email notification =)

Regular email client does show notifications in the status bar at the top. Pull down and there is a count.
thanks. is there a way for that number to appear on the dock?
K-9 has that. It's also a better email client IMHO, especially if you use IMAP folders extensively.
hmm seems as if i dont receive emails on k-9.... thanks though.
launcher pro also gives you the option for notifications on the dock bar...

I'm using LauncherPro, and have a gmail shortcut on the dock. It notifies me whenever I get a new mail in my inbox, but not for mails that are delivered under other labels. AFAIK, it's a limitation in the gmail app itself. Is there any other app that can do this? It needs to be an app, as widgets can't be placed on the dock. Thanks!

Tried but can't figure it out. If you have two dialer app and tap the phone shortcut on Launcher Pro dock, it'll ask you to pick one dialer to launch. If I set one as default dialer app, then the default app will be launched when I tap the shortcut.
How do I add similar shortcuts for other apps? For example, I'd like to add a shortcut for messaging that will ask me which one to launch if I have two messaging apps but have not set the default. After I set the default messaging app, the shortcut will launch it when tapped.
Thanks!

Long press one of your shortcuts or one of the plus signs in the hidden dock and hit change shortcut, then select applications and choose your app. then hit default icon.
If you want the shortcut on your home screen, long press and hit shortcuts... then the same as above. Doing it this way won't ask you for a default because you are choosing the app you want for that shortcut, not sure there is a way to do it like your asking.
Thanks, but this is not what I want. I want to launch the default app, not a specific app.
The phone shortcut has the behavior I want.

Have you tried going to Settings/Applications, find the app you want, select it, the scroll down and use the Reset Default or Clear Default option?
That should make it ask you next time you try to use one of the similar apps which you want to use and the option to make it default.
I am quite confused at this time in technology we can't have the incons for emails show how many messages are available for individual accounts. I don't mean gmail but exchange etc. HTC does this for sense. Are there any roms that do this or something i am missing here? its ridiculous.
anyone know anything?
I would love to have some suggestions to this, too.
The included email app has this functionality to some extent. But, it only seems to works if you put in a shortcut to the entire inbox, and not individual accounts. Looks like the functionality goes away if you use another launcher.
And gmail's latest version doesn't allow 3rd party apps access to that information. So, the couple apps and launchers that used to give an unread counter for gmail, don't anymore.
Maybe try another 3rd party email client?
I tried a few 3rd party Apps. No go

"Enhanced Email" the app will allow a desktop widget that shows you how many unread emails you have.
You can also add the widget to your lock screen using Widgetlocker as the lockscreen app.
So I don't have to log into my phone to see how many unread emails I have. I simply press my power button and look at the lock screen..

press hold on the icon and let go a little paintbriush will appear hit that and you'll see from there. just put the icon on your phone in a folder so it's easy to find in the gallery app
