Google are giving the option for existing users change their address from *@googlemail.com to *@gmail.com and all new users will receive a gmail account instead.
I think It may be limited to the UK.
Welcome to Gmail! As of May 3, 2010, Google's email service is changing its name to Gmail in the United Kingdom. From now on, anybody who signs up for a new Gmail account in the UK will get an @gmail.com address instead of @googlemail.com. The good news is that "gmail" is 50% fewer characters than "googlemail," and with so much emailing going on these days, we estimate this name change will save something like 60 million keystrokes a day. At approximately 217 microjoules per keystroke, that's about the energy of 20 bonbons saved every day!

While all emails are forwarded from googlemail to gmail I was wondering what would happen to my phone. As it turns out, it's completely messed up
My (google) apps don't work now, and there's no option to change my account setting individually. I get a sign-in error with google talk.
Would it be better for me to just hard reset my phone, or does adding my gmail (and deleting my googlemail) syncing account do the same thing? (in settings > accounts & sync)
You will unfortunately have to do a factory reset as you cannot remove your main google account. The 'backup settings' option should remember and download all your apps and remember wifi settings, but you will lose all sms\mms and call logs.
On the plus side Picasa sync will now work
ahh ok, there's probably an update for my ROM anyway
Thanks.
Or you can just go back to @googlemail.com for a while and see if Google sort something out.
Here's hoping we get a "Gmail" icon on the phone instead of an abridged "Google M..."

You can change icon names with Any Cut from the market. It's free.
I'm kinda confused with this thread... Is this a UK only thing? I've had [email protected] for years now (since early beta) and on my nexus one the shortcut is named "Gmail".
Not just UK, some other parts of Europe too I believe.
ive just changed mine and i can still access the market ok.
i did get the google talk error tho.
once cyan 5.0.7 is rls'd ill do a full wipe and change my main account to @gmail.

They started with Gmail, but another company was using gmail also so they changed it to googlemail... or so I heard. (Existing Gmail users were allowed to keep Gmail but new users got a googlemail account.) I guess the company went bust or Google bought them out
That's what I heard anyway.
Maybe it's just a UK/Euro thing...
Hi, probably too soon, but has someone already managed to solve the one calendar problem on Calendar App? Like, i use google calendar with multiple calendars in it (basically, for different colors display on phone), an would be nice to have this feature here... I know, probably wont be fixed till final release, but just wanted to know if someone had an Idead =)
BTW, loved this consumer preview! Really, just put google account somewhere, and everything else started sharing and syncing!!
Havn't had time to install the Consumer Preview yet (and I don't really use Google Calender), but there is a similar problem with WP7.
Now I don't know if the Calender app support multiple calenders correctly (might be an issue on Windows 8's side), but if it does (like WP7), you need to select which calenders to use in Google.
Again, I am not too familiar with this, but this might the same problem so this page might help you:
http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2450384
If it doesn't work after that try manually syncing Google or re-adding your Google account.
hm, good shot, but two problems...
first, I used to have this problem on iphone, and solved like the way you showed. On android, don't have this issue, can't even access this webpage cause it has other ways to solve. So, i used my sister's iphone, and went to m.google.com/sync, and there the only thing that showed was Windows Mail, no calendar options =/
Tryed to resync, no luck, since different from mail app, it can't be done. You cand Add accounts, but not delete...
But, anyway, its a beta, probably things are gonna change in the near future
BTW, when windows phone 8.0 show up, my galaxy sII will have a mini heart attack, haha
thanks anyway

Hi,
Currently per Google's request for bandwith, Calendar App only Sync root calendar.
Developers on both sides are working on this issue to improve accessibility on this.
Thank you for using Windows 8 and your feedback.

i got my google calendar to work in sync with the calendar app for windows 8 if that is what you are asking i could explain? google calendar colors is another story though, can't replicate the color scheme on w8
he meant multiple calendars using the same account, currently the calendar will only show the primary calendar, it has no options to see the other calendars created under the same account, reason is in that quote of mine above
I have my work email synced to the Note 3. It's an exchange account. However, it does not sync properly. When I view an unread email on my computer, it is not marked unread on my phone, nor does the notification that came with the email go away. When I open the app, however, it all syncs up just fine and shows everything as read. Am I doing something wrong here? My notification tray just keeps piling up with email that I've already read on my computer. Thanks in advance.

I have the same problems with the stock app. It's 50% chance whether or not it syncs. I didn't have that problem with my Droid Bionic that I replaced.
Since I'm a Zimbra user, I just bought Horizon Mail from the Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vmware.ewsc.android
It's awesome for Zimbra users because you can search back as far into your email as you need to (ie-an email from last year still on your server) Also, you can check a co-workers schedule before sending meeting invites. Lastly, you can access online files in your Zimbra Briefcase.
FYI - we host with zmailcloud.com but Zimbra is open source if needed

I know this is an old thread, but....
I am a T-Mobile customer trying to help a Verizon Wireless customer get his zMailCloud email working. Everyone in the office on T-Mobile has no issues, but the one VW phone only works when on WiFi. I suspect that Verizon is blocking the ports or the IP addresses of zMailCloud.com but I'll try Horizon Mail if you think it would help. I don't see it in my Play Store and that link you provided does not work for me. Is it because only Verizon customers can get it, or is it a defunct project?

I was disappointed that VMware sold Zimbra & discontinued support for Horizon Mail - it's now gone, but was the closest app to my Zimbra browser based experience.
I now use MailWise
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.syntomo.email
I'm very pleased but it has a few bugs every now & then (it is a beta app) and it does not have direct access to my Zimbra Briefcase.
I have not found any problems that appear to be Verizon related - should work over 4G or wifi.

I've been using Outlook on my Galaxy S5 for a while now and was getting email notification on my watch (Moto 360 2nd gen) without difficult. Then I just stopped getting email notifications. I appear to still be getting calendar notifications, but not email.
I did two things around the time when the notifications stopped:
1.) Installed an app on my phone create extra vibrations on the watch when notifications were received (Feel the Wear).
2.) Setup the default sammy calendar to sync with my work's Exchange calendar so I could get calendar info in WatchMaker.
To trouble shoot I've tried:
a.) Uninstalling the app listed above and removing the calendar sync setup.
b.) Uninstalling and re-installing MS Outlook
c.) Verifying that Outlook is not listed as a block/ignore app in Android Wear
d.) Forgetting and reconnecting my watch
e.) Verified that I'm getting outlook notifications properly on my phone.
f.) Searching google and xda... couldn't find anything, but I'll admit I didn't do a super huge search here in xda.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm working around this right now by using eNotify, but I hate to use additional programs to do something that I should be able to do without them.
I have the same issue. About 2 days ago Outlook stopped sending notifications to my watch (LG Watch Urbane). I still get them on my phone, but they do not get sent to the watch.
I do not have Feel the Wear and I have not made any recent changes to how my phone syncs anything. I have also tried disconnecting and reconnecting everything and confirming that Outlook is not on the notification block list. I updated the Outlook app from the Play Store today, but still no joy.

I've tried even doing a factory reset on the watch, and this has only led to bigger problems. Now ALL notifications are being super temperamental for me.
Same problem here. I'm glad to see someone else is experiencing it. I've found nothing helpful on google about it.
This link here:
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-wear/KV62Rs3fZHs;context-place=topicsearchin/android-wear/notifications$20stopped
is saying that it's a Microsoft issue. Can't verify that info, but it does seem consistent with the fact that we all seem to have noticed it stopped right around the same time and it's only MS Outlook that did it.
Same thing here on my Huawei Watch. My workaround was to restart notifications from the stock email app, so at least I won't miss anything. If it's fixed and I start getting double notifications I'll turn them off on the stock app again.
Pull down previous version from apk mirror and give it a shot.

Reviving a bit of an old thread here, but I finally got around to trying out this suggestion and it works. I pulled version: 2.0.17 (106) and installed it. I'm getting notifications on my watch again.
Current version is 2.0.36, which was just released yesterday it seems. I tested all versions on APKMirror between 2.0.17 and the newest and 2.0.17 seems to be the last version that will send notifications to Android Wear.
Where I can get the 2.0.17 version?
Thanks

Make sure, if you do this, that you disable automatic updates in Google Play Store app. Otherwise it'll just try to overwrite outlook with the newer version automatically.

I believe I did submit a report, but I'll do it again just to make sure.
On a side note, after trying a BUNCH of different programs, here's what I finally settled on:
I'm using the newest version of MS Outlet. This obviously doesn't get notifications to my watch, so I'm running AquaMail and using the imap interface to get push updates from my Exchange Server. AquaMail did the best job in terms of speed and notification type, at least for me.
Others I tried:
Cloud Magic: Speed is decent, but I only saw the first notification on my watch. Subsequent notifications never went to watch until notifications on phone were cleared.
BlueMail: This was horrible slow for me. Even 5+ minutes after Outlook or Cloudmagic would see the email Bluemail still hasn't received the message. Not sure on notifications on watch.
Mailwise: Very fast on receiving new email, and the notification showed on the watch for each notification, but after the first one you just get a list of outstanding notifications for Mailwise so you don't get to see the full subject, title or body of the newest notification. Outlook in version 2.0.17 (the last one that sent notifications to the watch) did the same thing.
After pulling 2.0.17 my watch is receiving notifications again. I have also reached out to support with this info. I am running Marshmellow and everything seems to be working fine. Hopefully, they will fix this on their latest release. For now, all Outlook updates are off.
Thanks again!
Thanks for this I thought I was going crazy as I think I just started using Outlook right before that update came and removed the watch notifications.
I noticed this too, I assumed that it was a change to the security policy... it'd be nice to have it work again
Just got this back from Outlook support :
Hello Andrew
Thank you for contacting Outlook Mobile Support. I understand your concern but we no longer support Android Wear. If you would like to address these issues then you will need to contact the retailer! I apologize for this inconvenience.
Warm Regards
The "retailer" you refer to is Google. They support the android wear app and the watches. The issue is that the outlook app is not sending notifications to the Android o/s in a normal manner. Every other app works just fine. Only the outlook app has this problem. The notifications did work until the app was upgraded beyond version 2.0.17. Something changed that broke the notifications at that point. I do hope you will continue to support your app and the android wear community!
Hello Andrew
That is when we stopped support the Android Wear devices. We will support Android Wear when Android Wear advises us to again. We enjoy helping! I apologize for this inconvenience again!
Warm Regards
So they know it's busted but won't fix it unless Google calls them??
That is horrible and typical M$.
It is not free, but touchdown has exchange activesync with push notifications. I am a teacher and it is a huge help with all the email I get.
Alternatively, you could downgrade outlook and not let it update.

Figures. I found it really useful to have work email and calendar notifications sent to my watch as I am not always at my desk. I reported the "bug" and got basically the same response as above. I guess the community will need to come up with another Microsoft work around. Does anyone know of a killer feature or bug that was fixed between 2.0.17 and current? Trying to decide if the juice is worth the squeeze.
Hi all,
Bought a unlocked G6 about a month ago after owning a G3. So far I am really happy with it, however it bugs me that the "Me" contact does not pull the information from Google - i.e. the Duo app is not shown there, the address (work or home) from Google isn't there neither. Is there a way to link the information?
Thanks for your time and looking forward to your replies.
Wasn't this suppose to be automatic?
Well, that would have been my thought but it doesn't work on my phone for some reason.
This is still bugging me massively, am I the only one in this situation?
I've just checked on my G6 and it doesn't show any info for me at all.
Update: I've just added my home address using the edit function and now my info does show.
Indeed if you edit the contact info it will show.
My point is that the contact should be pulling info from your or mine Google account information and it doesn't.
Well for me contact syncing doesn't work at all on stock(/fulmics) rom.
I've re-added some colleagues a couple of times only to lose them again on full wipes.
Everything working as it should now on LineageOS.

Starting with Android 5.0, multiple user accounts are allowed to be set up on an Android phone. Maybe your gmail info is deliberately not linked to the phone's own number to prevent "other" users of the phone (who may have different gmail addresses) from using those info?

This is possible, I have three gmail account for myself on the phone. However, technically it would be really easy for them to make you select which account you would like to be your main one.
Anyway, thanks.
