Problems with gmail through ActiveSync rather than standalone gmail app - Hero, G2 Touch General

I spent way too much time trying to get this working last night, so I'm here to ask if anyone knows how I can get my gmail account setup through ActiveSync, rather than the normal gmail app.
My reasoning for this is because I want to have my mail viewable through the Mail widget - but it will only let me choose an ActiveSync account
To setup the ActiveSync account on my HTC Touch Pro I just followed Google's guide here: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299
I used the same details to setup an ActiveSync account on my Hero, and it seems to successfully connect and tell me it's synced - but none of my emails are appearing?
Any ideas anyone? Or is there perhaps a way to select my gmail account in the HTC Mail widget?

You won't get email through ActiveSync with gmail - it's for Contacts and Calendar only.

You could use IMAP or POP3 access to your gmail account, via the HTC mail app...
First, make sure you have IMAP access enabled to your gmail account: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77695
Then, make sure you use the "manual setup" option in the HTC Mail app, and use the info provided on this page to proceed: https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=114408

Can you have two outlook accounts sync?

Hi as in Title can you have two outlook accounts on device?
I have my private one and work one and would like to have bought.
When I start outlook on my PC it asks me which profile to use, when I sync for first time I get the same question so I select one of them. After sync is done and I try to sync again with second one I get an error. Also as work one is exchange I tried to setup exchange account that does not work to well any help on that (it does not even have half of PC exchange account setup options).
Is there a way to setup exchange account on PC and sync those settings?
No, you cannot "sync" two Outlook (Exchange) accounts via ActiveSync at the same time. However I assume you are not using exchange on your private mail, but rather POP3 og IMAP. If so, you can set up additional email accounts on your phone. I recommend that you add an IMAP account (if your private email supports that) and set it to check for new emails regularly.

You cannot connect 2 Exchange (Gmail also acting as Exchanger Server) server from Windows Mobile via Activesync, but you can setup Gmail as IMAP then you can connect to your Work Exchange Server. But Contact & Calendar information only sync with your Work Exchange.
I disagree, you can have 2 exchange servers with a registry tweak. However as specified above you cannot sync two email accounts, but you can sync contacts, calendars and tasks.
If i am honest its not an idea solution, but it does work. It sounds like the solution above works the same but has the benefit of better sense integration. At the moment i have my work exchange server linked in sense and active sync for contacts, calendar and email. My gmail is linked in two places, the first one activesync which covers the calendar and contacts, but i also link the email via imap via sense. This works well too but its a little awkward trying to edit email settings.

HTC desire gmail account and email setup problem

I've connected at the wifi, the internet is working on the device but i get an error wen I try to connect to my gmai account or wen i want to set up my yahoo email.
I also experienced the same problem at start but only with the yahoo account, for the yahoo account to work you need to do the following:
1. Make sure Wi-Fi is turned off and 3g or Edge is connected.
2. Press the E-Mail icon (the default Android E-Mail application)
3. Enter your Yahoo E-Mail address and password
4. Press “Manual Setup” in the lower left hand corner
5. For “Incoming Server Settings” set the IMAP server to “imap.mail.yahoo.com”
6. For “Outgoing Server Settings” set the SMTP Server to “smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com”
7. Check “Require sign-in” and press Next
The yahoo account will only work when using the 3g or Edge network, it does NOT work with wifi. This is not the case with gmail which worked fine from the beginning both on wifi and 3g.
thanks for the advice.

There's a similar item in the settings on your gmail account.
the Google Mail program does not need it, but to use the standard Mail program, you need to go to gmail on your pc
click options
set the IMAP access on in the settings somewhere.
Then the HTC Mail app can access your Gmail as well.

[Q] More than one Exchange Account on Windows Mobile

Hi Folks,
Yes, I already tried search. Here and Google and I did it for times and didnt find help. Thats reason for question:
I have an MS Exchange server and Gmail Account where I want the following Sync Setup.
MS Exchange over OTA: Emails, Contacts, Calendar
Gmail over OTA: Emails, Contacts
Could anyone provide help to me? The well known Registry Hack with "EnableNonLocalCrossPollination" does not work because its designed for mutliple Sync via USB and not OTA. In short words: I have to activate two Exchange accounts on my mobile for Sync via UMTS.
Use WinMo outlook account for sync with Exchange
Set up GMail account for mail only
Use 3rd party sync tool, like this one

to sync calendar and contacts with Google

[Q] Email Configuration Questions

Hi There!
I want to configure my wife's Defy so she can get email from her gmail account.
I don't want it to be pop3, as I don't want to remove any of the messages from her gmail account, as she also gets her email via pop3 on her Desktop Outlook?
I see 2 different gmail options on her phone, is it an option to get some form of sync'd account or perhaps is Imap the only other option?
Cheers
You might have to enable IMAP in your Gmail account preferences, but you can also use POP3 and configure it to not delete the messages on the server.
Also from my experience the default mail application works better than the gmail one which is slow and doesn't always show latest messages to me.

Yah I am finding it hard to believe there isn't some form of activesync syncing option.
