Multiple gmail account's Calendar sync questoin

I first set up my personal gmail account. The phone gave me the option to sync Contacts, Mail, Calendar, and Picasa Web Albums.
When I set up my second gmail account, its only giving me the option to sync Contacts and Mail.
Seems like I can only set up 1 gmail account's calendar sync???
Is that a limitation on the Samsung Captivate???
What am I doing wrong?

You can always set up a second gmail account in the Email program (not Gmail). It will also sync contact and calendar data. One advantage I like with the Email program is you can set peak hours, for instance since I don't check emails when I'm asleep, so I set it to never push emails from 11pm to 7am.

Where did you find the option to set "peak hours", do you use the standard email program (unified mailbox)?
Thanks

[Q] Sync Outlook Email on Android (through USB, not Exchange)

I don't have Exchange, I just use Outlook at home with my POP3 account, is there any software I can use to Sync my Outlook emails to my phone (Android 2.2), just through USB sync? I can't find any.
I've got my contacts & calendar sync'ing fine, through HTC sync software.
This is so frustrating not having emails on my phone, I'm almost thinking of installing hMailServer onto my WHS box..
Appreciate the feedback.
HTC Desire HD.

configure your outlook to leave copy of messages on the server and add the same account to your phone using IMAP (or if you do not have IMAP access, set it as POP3 and also leave messages on the server)

I would have replied the same as the previous poster but maybe OP doesn't have a data plan?

That won't really sync with my outlook though, it's just checking the emails remotely, which I have been doing. I file all of my emails that I want to keep from my inbox into sub-folders, so I really need to sync my phone with Outlook.

Anyone else have some options before I start looking at setting up an SMTP server? Surely there's got to be something that will sync Outlook emails?
I was very surprised that the HTC sync software didn't do it!

I'm assuming by the lack of responce my only option is to setup a SMTP server..
I did find one cleaver idea, but isn't suitable for me, posting if anyone else is searching for a solution:
- Use Gmail (or similar) to pick up your email from your pop account
- Sync Outlook & phone with Gmail
The issue I have with this one is I use multiple domain names that I need to email out from..

This is the best method. You can actually pull multiple accounts into GMail (up to 5, I believe), and then you can also set Gmail up so that you can send as one of those accounts. The latest version of Gmail for Android lets you choose which account you then want to use - right there on your phone.

K9 Mail: No folders with Hotmail, and no Push?

So I have a POP3 Hotmail account and I am having some issues with K9 Mail. For one, I can't get mail pushed to me at all! It always has to check for mail every 15 minutes. This isn't the main issue though.
I have been using this app for a long time now and I still cannot figure out how to display my Hotmail folders. I have set that the folders be synced every 30 minutes, but I cannot see them anywhere. Anyone know how to be able to see them?

Can I sync Exchange Calendar as push while email as manual for the same account?

Basically, I want to sync my email as manual during peak hours (hours when I am in office and can see emails on my computers constantly as it is annoying to have an alert for the same email on my phone). However, doing so makes my calendar sync as manual as well. Can I sync my calendar on push and email on manual (ideally using peak schedule setting where I will have my emails on push outside office hours)?
I hope it made sense what I am trying to do.

Pretty sure this should be in some other thread, but anyway...
As far as I know, you can't do that straightaway.
The simplest workaround, for Exchange at least, without Tasker etc is to make 2 accounts. One is your email as IMAP. In this, sync only email at whatever interval. Do not sync calendar.
The second is your email as Exchange. In this, do not sync email, only calendar, contacts, etc. Keep it as push.
It's fairly straightforward to set up. Only thing is you will have 2 accounts in your email client. I name one Email and the other Calendar, or something, and never see the second one.
You will need IMAP enable for your exchange account by administration.
See if that works for your setup.

Email app sync frequency - no push notifications option

I like the built in email app, but under sync frequency there is no option for push notifications. The most often it will sync is every 15 minutes. This is an Outlook account.
On my Gmail account however the option is there, but I don't use this as my main email account.
Anyone know a way to resolve this?

Then why don't you just configure Gmail to send and receive your Outlook mails?

Sounds like a bit of a faf. Why won't it give me the option on all my accounts?

Don't know, man. Waiting mine to arrive. I use gmail for all my mail needs.
