For the life of me, I just cannot figure out Tasker. What I am trying to do seems simple in theory, but to me, it is not so easy in execution in Tasker.
I am trying to turn off syncing for only the stock Email app (use this for my work Exchange email) when I am at work, and turn it back on when I leave. I don't really care if it is time based or location based. I do not want to change the sync settings for the Gmail app or anything else, just the stock Email app.
Could anyone provide a comprehensive, step by step method of accomplishing this? I've tried many times and just cannot get it. For some reason, I cannot really grasp how Tasker works anyway, so perhaps that is the root of my problem.
You cannot change settings of individual apps.
You could configure tasker to carry out specific button presses so it could open settings, navigate down to sync and change settings etc but this isn't an elegant solution

Oh really? Shoot. Is there any other app or solution?
The only real option is 3rd party email client

I just got my phone a couple days ago and love it but couldn't figure out how to change from different email clients when using the stock email app. It allows you to set a default but are you able to go to a different email account besides going to the message app where is takes you to texts, email, fb, etc.
Thanks in advance and sorry if I sound like a noob.

I don't know your answer but if the "other" email account you want to use has an app in the market (most of the big ones do) I would suggest using that instead. Most stock android apps are pretty much just there to get you up and running until you install something better. I only use the default for exchange access for work.
OK that is probably what I will do then. I just would like to have all my emails in one place so it is easier to check.

Oh it's certainly capable. It's just nice getting "native" features like proper labels in gmail and such. If the stock email app isn't to your liking and you want to stay with an "all in one" app then check what the market has to offer.
Messaging App gives you Universal Inbox

Use the Messaging App instead of the Email App - Messaging gives you a Universal Inbox, or option to open any individual email account, Text Messaging, or Facebook.
(I haven't found an email app in Market that looks any better or does any better, for me)
Hello anyone, is there a way to install the same app twice on my phone and keeping 2 sets of app data?
In my case I need to to operate 2 different Facebook accounts and I'd like to use the official Facebook app for both. Logging in and out multiple times an hour is not an option, and I don't like the other Facebook clients from the play store as well...
Thanks in advance!

Simple answer - no, it's not possible.
Long answer, yes it could be done, but whatever you try would require some form of interaction - you would either have to create multiple user accounts on your phone (semi-possible under JB) or use Titanium Backup to freeze one copy and un-freeze the other (should be doable, but I've never tried it).
I would also point out the advice BigJoe gave you under your other thread;-
first I don't have or do FB....but if must keep your secrets separate from work, why don't you use the browser "go mobile" for one and the app for your other one. Or if your work requires you to have a FB, why not just keep you private stuff....private.
I remember reading it was a violation of Facebook's Terms of Use to have multiple accounts, but never the less I don't FB.

The only real solution is to accept that you will simply have to either use the mobile browser version for one account or, if you require notifications, use another app for one of the accounts.
Will try the freezing, and thanks.

hi, my friend, i did it before, it was successful
one app, but you can build two different accounts, hope this is helpful for you
Trying desperately to find an app that will let me control when each app can sync it's data in Internet. For example, I took some photos and Dropbox photos autosync is enabled in the Dropbox app itself but I want it to sync these photos only at 6pm using Mobile data.
I want to be able to control each app's sync activity or make a profile for scheduled time X - at this time only Gmail, yahoo will be able to sync data (even on wifi).
Thank you for helping.
P. S.
I use now my tablet with mobile data plan and tethering my nexus 5 (nexus sits on wifi state and start to upload photos that I took to Dropbox - I want to be able to disable this sync and other from 8:00 - 16:00 for example). I don't want to disable every app sync every morning.

Tasker + Synker. Some combo of that should do the trick.
Can you be more specific please?

Paraphrased from Why You Get One-Word Answers:
"If they give you one word, search that word. The information is out there already probably many times over...Start with searching xda...
Next search google..."
Before asking to be more specific, I checked the tasker and synker but still, was not satisfied about the results.

Hello all,
I've decided to ditch Gmail and use the stock mail app. One if my accounts was hacked recently so Google had me add an extra layer of protection that when ever I sign in from another new device (or when I change ROMS) it sends me a verification code in a text message to complete the sign in. Is this what's preventing me from being able to sign into my account using the HTC mail app? Is there a way around it or something I'm missing when trying to set it up.
Thanks,
Mark

You have to go into your Google security settings and get a unique password that you will use for the HTC mail app. You will use the password supplied when you setup the mail app instead of your Google password. You will find it near the bottom of the security screen.

Where are the Google security settings at? I was able to go to Google settings and hit the 3 dots on the to right and one of the options was to get a verification code and it gave me one. I tried to use it as a password without a space in the middle and with but it still says failed.

I am not near a computer right now but you might need to get to the Google security settings via a browser. A verification code will definitely not work. You need to set an app specific password. Try to Google search "two step authentication app specific password" sorry I can't be of more help right now. If I was near a computer I could give you exact steps.

Then click on settings for app passwords
It will generate a one time use password that will not be shown again after initially generated. You can save it if you wish, but you can generate as many as you wish so there really isn't a need. You can also revoke it at any time.
Thanks to both of you for the help. It worked like a charm.

Glad you got it to work. Too bad Google doesn't make that function a bit more obvious.

I am not able to open zip files in my nexus 5's email app. When i try to open it gives an error saying"Unfortunately, you can't save or open this type of attachment.. Anybody has a solution for this. i have sent feedback to google through that app several times. But no response. I am surprised to know that a smartphone by a stalwart software company like google is facing problem like this. this is not an end to it. Problems like contacts sharing through SMS,native 3G video calling,contact copy to clipboard are also persisting. Isn't google bothered about all these small basic facilities to the users !!! If not then what & how different is it from any other device. in Moto phones some of these features are also lacking, but moto phones are able to open zip files. "
This is the default email client?

Yes it is the default email client. For using company email ID via outlook i can only configure the inbuilt email app. but this problem is not evident in Gmail app. In gmail app it opens the zip attachment and then gets redirected to the respective app installed on the phone for handling zip files
