Hello,
I have three email apps on my phone, email (Live), Gmail and Outlook. When I first set up my phone I set my Live account as the default account. Now I want to change it to one of the other accounts but when I open the gmail app settings or the outlook app settings there is no option to set either as the default. The only app that has the set as default option is the email app that I use for my Live account email. If I try to uncheck the set as default box it doesn't let me.
This seems like such a lame question, but does anyone know how to unset my Live email as my default and change it to my gmail or Outlook email?
Thanks

That setting is specific to that app. Since you have only one account in that app, you can't deselect that option. What you probably want is to reset the default email app on the phone. Got to Manage Apps and find the email app and Clear Defaults. Next time you tap on an email link, it will ask what app you want to use (with the option to set as default).

Thanks for the reply. I tried what you said and clear defaults is grayed out. It's not clickable. I cleared data and it reset the app. Now when I try and reset up the email account I get an error message. "80104: system is unavailable to support the request"
I discovered that the outlook.com app will also do my Live email account. So I am using that instead of the installed email app.

Please Help. I have tried it on POP and IMAP i whant it on IMAP do.

We need more info. What e-mail are you using (hotmail, gmail, exchange,other?), which e-mail app, what version of android do you have on your phone and what modifactions have you done, and what are the settings you using? For example,
I am running Cog beta 7, froyo, and replaced the e-mail app with this opne here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8453938&postcount=99
I am running my hotmail, aol and att.net e-mails on it.
Hotmail and AOL was automatic in settings, but att.net required a bunch more
For exchange I am using roadsync.
I have Android 2.1
I'm using my working email with the same configuration y have on my outlook an everywhere.
I even download K-9 Mail from the market and used the same configuration and it worked.
the thing is that I what to use the standard that comes with the captivate, because amonge meny thing it has the link on the home screen and is like ussless.
Please Help.
thanks.
Did you change the sync 3 day setting? Press menu, settings, accounts and sync. Select the exchange account and change the days to 1 month. Also try sendin yourself a message, if it does not send or receive, there is something wrong with your settings.
Also if you are using exchange, check with your admin that your username did not get locked out, happend to me and I had no idea. If it is another e-mail, and not exchnage having an issue, let me know exactly which e-mail is giving you an issue.

use k-9 and forget the samsung junk. you can even put it on the launch bar.
k-9 is the fastest android mail app that ive tried. it was almost real time. not that 5 minute sync that the stock one and many others have. mail droid is similar but having both running k-9 gave the notifications first.
if you dont know how to change the apps on the launch bar, press the applications icon, press menu, change view type to customizable grid.
press menu, choose edit, move desired icon to the launcher.
press menu, select save.

I agree with Dani, if the stock app does not work and K-9 does, use K-9. If the settings are correct and it still does not work, it may be an issue with the app.
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 all, I have my new TF and I'm just adding accounts to the email app that uses the on screen widget. What's got me puzzled is that when I add my MSN account, I have 'push' as an option, but when I add my gmail it will not show a push option.
I realise that the default gmail app has push, but I was hoping to use the other app because of the on screen widget notification.

I have the same thing set-up. My work email account is an exchange account and it has the push option but my gmail doesn't. Not really sure why. I just have it set-up to check every 5 mins.
Does anyone know of an email app where you can setup multiple accounts and 'Respond' to an email with whichever account you like regardless of which Inbox the email is is.
When I was using the native 'Sense' email, it was great. I could open the email in one account and simply respond using from whichever account I wanted (drop down 'from' list) whereas now that I'm on AOSP (CM10.1) I don't have that option any longer.
It also needs to have Exchange ActiceSync functionality which is limiting my options.
Yep - K9
Choose answer and tap your email account on top. You'll be prompted for 'send as'.
I can't say anything about Exchange active sync so.
yeah thanks, I tried K9 already but it doesn't have EAS. I don't really want to use POP for hotmail.
Anyone know how to set "Default sending account"?
I have several accounts setup but I want to use one as standard.
Earlier I just opened the account and ticked to set default, now it´s gone.
Having ver. 4.4.4
Oh, I've just looked and find no way to set an account as default after being setup
recommend a good mail client to get around this issue
Hi,
Can anyone recommend a good mail client for the Z3 that will allow you to set the default account. The phone appears to default to my work account and could be dangerous. Preferably free
Thanks
