Hello everyone,
I wonder why would one need the gmail app while there is the new Inbox app?
Is there anything in the old gmail that the Inbox app doesn't?
Thanks.

Hi, I'm getting the idea that you are being forced to have to Gmail app installed, is that correct?
Not forced but I wonder if/when thegmail app will become obsolete...
I also noticed that the Inbox app doesn't show any notifications although I did make sure to select all notifications in the settings (for all bundles).
After trying it out for a while I noticed that the Inbox app don't notify on new emails like the gmail app does. Which it should but it just doesn't work for some reason...

The Gmail app is not integrated with HTC's People app and I doubt if it will be as it is proprietary Google code and not part of android. If you want to see your Gmail show up, you should add it as an exchange/imap/pop account using the regular mail app. I have both the Gmail app as well as an imap account for my Gmail. That way, I can see my gmail under people and have the convenience of push email with the gmail app without drawing too much battery.
I've set up HTC's mail app to use my gmail account as an exchange account and I don't see folder management anywhere. All I can see is my inbox. Am I missing something? Also unlike on the captivate when I delete mail there it actually deletes it. Any way to make it archive? I like the HTC mail widget which is the only reason I'm doing mail this way, but if it won't work I'll get over it

What don't you like about the gmail app?
It doesn't have a pretty widget heh
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
You have to hit menu then choose folders from the individual account, not from the Combined Inbox. The downside I have noticed is that it only pushes the inbox.

The mail widget allows you to view emails without opening the app.
I personally like the ui of the gmail app over the stock mail app, and I don't like the widgets.
I know a work around is to set the same gmail account in your email app. But imo that's kind of duplicate and potentially could cause conflict or redundant data in your contact/calendar/email.
So, by any chance, is there a way we can simply make the email app to also show that gmail account without adding that account again in email app? Since when we activate the phone, this account is already there registered on our phones... gmail app can capture it, why not email app? just some thoughts...
Why would you want to do this? I just use the gmail app

I agree, you would lose all the functionality of Gmail if you did this...
The gmail app gives you push notifications. If you use the email app it will effect your battery life depending on how often you set it to poll.
I am running this app on a D2 and have both the stock email app and the official Gmail app running as I am trying to figure out why I don't receive email notifications.
I have both apps listed in my monitored app list but Missed It is not picking up the fact that I have new unread emails.
Any one have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong or have any suggestions?
Thanks.
you need to turn on missedit under android settings > acessibility.
but beware, new gmail update will not work anymore with missedit.
Does anyone know of an app that shows more than only the latest GMail notification? I know one exists for WhatsApp, i would like something similar for GMail and Outlook as well.
I don't think you'll find one app for it right now. I think the only way to do it is to enable notifications on the gear app on your phone for each app that you want to see on your watch and hope they are compatible. Outlook using the built in email certainly provides notifications. I use it all the time
Can you browse your new emails? Or do you only see the last email?
I see what is in my inbox. I also use Nine and it shows full emails in my inbox
