[Q] Desktop icon to open specific email account? - Atrix 4G General

I have searched high and low but cannot find a solution for me on this problem. I am running the Gingerbread RC by AT&T and have been using GO Launcher EX for a while now. I cannot find an option to make a shortcut to a specific email account's inbox. The default EMail link goes to the phones default account, and the messaging icon goes to the list of all the accounts. I would like to make it so that I can have individual icons for each email account, like Blackberry does is the best description. I have tried AnyCut, K9 (which sucks for exchange), and about anything else I have read.
Only thing I will not do is change my launcher applications. Please help me if you have any ideas.

For Gmail, long press home screen, shortcuts, select Gmail labels, select Gmail account, select which folder, I.e. inbox, shortcut created.
May be same for other email.
Hope this helps.

Help with Deimos Scum Mod Homescreen++ theme

Hi guys,
Through the wonderful creations of a couple of guys here on the forum, I've installed the Deimos Scum Mod theme for the homescreen++ as shown here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350510&page=5&post=#49
However, everytime I click on the email button, it keeps on going to my outlook main page whenever email shows 0. If there's unread email, it will always go to my messaging main page. But it will always read the correct number of total unread email.
I don't and will never use outlook. I use push gmail through Seven (www.seven.com). Gmail is my primary email account.
How do I change or alter the xml file so that everytime I click the email button (whether there is or isn't any email), so that it will always go straight to my gmail inbox?
This is a perfect theme, except for this little glitch. I tried all the help from the forum archive but it doesn't seem to work.

Multiple Google accounts on one G1

Hi
I have 2 Google Apps accounts (one personal and one work)
From what I can tell, you can only sign in with one account into Android and to access the other Mail i will have to use IMAP. Fair enough, i can live with that. But i'm not sure i can live without both cals or google talk on both (or any other aspects which I have yet to check on, such as lattitude, although I cant actually find latitude on my maps app.)
Is there a way of
* syncing more than 1 calendar?
* logging into more than one account in google talk (IM app or others) as when you access the IM prog it brings up a page which looks like it should list all of the accounts you want to access... which, if you cant access more than 1, is a little pointless from what i can make out.
I dont suppose cupcake makes any of this possible does it?
cheers
Hi,
I know that the calendars can be done.
I have several google and apps accounts.
The account you use as the primary needs
to be given FULL access to the other calendar.
Go to the secondary account and do the sharing
and access stuff. I had to dig around a little for
the right procedure in the google help forums. Once
your primary user can edit events on the web for the
secondary calendar then all should be well. Remember
to color code them. I am currently working with three
calendars. They all will show up as one and color coded.
You can't open separate instances for each calendar.
When you add an event on your phone you get a dropdown
to choose which calendar to add it to.
K9 Mail (free app on the Market) is an excellent client that supports multiple IMAP/POP3 accounts.
For calendar sync, it's a little more trickier. You need to share your 2nd calendar with your main one by doing the following:
Sign into Google with your 2nd account.
Go to Calendar, and click on Settings link (top right corner)
On the Calendar Settings page go to "Calendars" tab.
Click the "Share this calendar" link.
Under the "Share with specific people" section, enter the e-mail address of your primary account, select "Make changes AND manage sharing" permission setting, click the "Add Person button, and finally click the "Save" button.
Log out of Google.
Sign into Google with your primary account and go to Calendars.
Go to Settings and verify that the calendar from your 2nd account is now listed under "My Calendars" section.
On your G1 open the Calendar app
Press the Menu button, select "More" and then "My calendars" option.
Press the Menu button again and select "Add calendars" option. This should sync up and present you a list with your 2nd account's calendar.
Select it, save and exit the Calendar app.
Repeat steps 1 through 12 for adding more calendars from your other accounts.
You're done.
I still haven't found a way to sync contacts from multiple gmail accounts. Maybe there's an app for that?
har har har everything works except this hmm. How bout adding all your work contacts to your regular account and make it into a group named "work". That way they don't mix or you can pull up fast.

That work-around is a one-way sync though. Time to put in a feature request at Android Google Code group.

[Q] does Corporate Sync allow searching the Exchange mailbox?

I've got an Atrix and an Exchange 2007 server. I don't see any way to search the mailbox for emails not on the phone. Before getting into TD, RoadSync and the like, can Corporate Sync do this or not? If not, is there anything besides TD and RS? What's the most reliable activesync client at this point?
Thanks
Nope. I've been on TD since almost Day 1 for that reason plus tasks and notes!
I have tried all of them. TD is by far the best.

I've installed TD and have some questions about using it
a few questions:
I've removed the corporate sync account and set up TD, and set it to sync immediately. It works, etc. I'm hoping to get it more integrated and less of a standalone app. My questions are:
(1) can I map the contact button on the blur home page direct to td contacts?
(2) If I can't map the default button, can I add a TD contact button to the main page
(3) is there? (still) no way to change the default contacts to soft by last name?
(4) is there a way to make TD's default view be all emails instead of Unread emails?
(5) is there a way to get a button bar on the main email screen so deleting or moving emails is quicker?
(6) can the font in the list view be enlarged? I see how to change it in the email view.
Thanks again

1) don't think so
2) yes, see my answer to number 4
3) don't know. Don't use it
4) absolutely, instead of launching the full td app, long press on home screen and select shortcut, point to touchdown and select the envelope
5) you can do multiple select, it's quite easy
6) not sure

What is TD??
As an aside, have any of you used the Office Messenger client?

[Q] 2 different gmail inboxes on home screen

My work has decided to switch to Gmail. I need to bee able to see my personal e-mail and my work email in separate in boxes on my home screen.
I have added account to try this but the in box continues to come up the same as my original personal email account.
This 50% of what I do with my 7 so it is a pain in the butt.
You have to add a separate account in the settings for personal and work mails...
Then add a gmail widget and when you do it , there is an option to decide which gmail inbox or any other mail folder u want to see..
You can add as many widgets for as many mails you want...
If you consider doing this as pain in the butt then I am sorry...
I dont know anyother OS out there that would let you do it so well...
I use to do this. Simply set both through the gmail app, then download a gmail email unread widget. When you add the widgets it asks you which accounts to connect to and done! This is great because this way you get e,ail unread counters per accounts on separate icons.

Gmail account icon

Hey everyone, I need some help. Since the Gmail app updated to the "Material Design" look, I've had an annoyance when trying to switch between my email accounts. In order to quickly switch, you can tap on the icon for the email address you wish to switch to. The problem is, two of my accounts are using the default Gmail silhouette, so I can't tell which one is which from the menu:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwgHw8RSjQikR0pfYWUyWXhxeFE/view
For all three of my accounts, I have uploaded a profile picture via the general tab in Gmail settings in the browser. My personal Gmail shows my picture, no problem, but for some reason the other two don't come through. I'm not sure if it matters, but both are Google Apps for Work accounts . Also, I'm not sure if it has to do something with the sync settings, but I have them set up to sync email and app data. Also, for reference I am rooted and using the stock NC1 AT&T rom and have cleaned off all the bloatware.
Anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks,
shingy
