So does anyone know how to copy text from an email.
I know on the Droid it was shift and slide your finger across the text. I have had the incredible since release date and still can't figure it out
I don't believe you can copy text from the Gmail app...only from Gmail.com
Put your finger on the text and hold, then there will show up these green things, one is the start, and the other is the end, you can drag them to highlight the text you want and in the box that opens with some icons, click the one that looks like 2 pages, hope you understand and can make sense of these instructions.
That's the way its done when online but does not work in gmail
Works on all my email accounts, but I am using HTC mail.

This method does not work in the Gmail App. Might work on HTC Mail and definitely works in the browser but not in the Gmail App
Just reply to the email, you can copy from here.
Won't work in gmail app
How do you zoom in and out in the stock email app on the x10?
It is quite annoying with html emails and cause sometimes its zoomed in and I cant zoom out to check the whole mail at a glance.
Also noticed in the email app that when I try to move sidewards in any email that it isnt very responsive as like when browsing the web..this problem only occurs emails.
I'm looking for a solution to make emails on my Galaxy S either Autofit to the screenwidth, or failing that, allow me to zoom out to achieve the same. (to match the default behaviour in the iphone app, or even in the Android browser)
I've tried both the Gmail, and Email clients provided, as well as K9, but HTML mails still appear 'zoomed' in.
Any tweaks, or other apps I could use?
People, i want to know what do u use for Gmail account emails???
Do you use "mail" or "gmail" ???
Well,in mail you can set the synchronosation and retrival timings and frequency.
While using the "gmail" , u cannot set frequency of sync of mails.
Do suggest what is best for Gmail???

Guess it's personal taste, but I myself prefer the Gmail app, since mail notifications appear pretty much the second the mail arrives, and not on the next sync
I prefer gmail app too. There is no synch time, because gmail app have push notification.

I peter the Gmail app as well. Main reason is push notification and send as feature.

I had the same dilemma, HTC mail or gmail....
The gmail app has at least 2 important features missing:
1. There is no pinch to zoom (you can't zoom, this can be very frustrating at times).
2. There is no notification for incoming mail in labels (you only get notified for the main inbox).
For these reasons I finally decided to use k9 mail. It has much more features than the gmail app, supports push as fast if not faster than the gmail app including for labels, and zoom works as well as with HTC mail.
Mail can of course push gmail as well. When setting up an account don't choose googlemail (POP3/IMAP), but set it as Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync using details as described on http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299
I know it shows how to set it up on Windows Mobile, but you just need to use the same domain etc.
It will then push email just as it arrives to your mailbox. On my DHD it always beeps earlier than notification addon installed on Google Chrome on my PC when email arrives.
I'm using Gmail with all my other emails imported into it, so I only have to check one inbox to read mail from my AOL, MSN, Hotmail, Roadrunner, and of course, Gmail itself. Very nice mail app.
I use Gmail.
Gmail. If only because I can't be bothered setting up anything else.
Gmail. It's painless.
Cheers from my DHD.
mail

The problem with HTC mail is the same as with the gmail app : it doesn't push the labels; so any new mail you have set to go to a label will not get notified (for instance, I get no notification for my alias email that goes to a sub folder aka gmail label).
K9 Mail has solved this problem. It's the only free mail app so complete and it just "works" where the 2 others above fail.
Tbh, I do prefer Gmail but when I got a reply from co pilot I had to reply within their email and I couldn't because it did not allow me to edit via my phone, its a shame really as I needed to send the email whilst I was on the move, but comparing the two, I do prefer the Gmail overall. The normal email has problems syncing and sometimes brings up emails from ages ago which I had forgotten about

I use Mail to sync with my my company's exchange server, mostly for calender and contacts so I know what im meant to be doing, I wont sync my mail unless there is something specific i need.
I still use gmail app for my gmail personal account.
I have found that HTC's exchange sync app really good, other people in the company have samsung androids or stock androids and have difficulties.
I haven't found a way of getting hold of attachments in the Gmail app... You can only view attachments if it's a document type that Gmail can handle.
Why is it that when you share a pic from gallery through the email app (not gmail), it won't let you select the email account? It defaults to your default email account with no way to change it. All of the manufacturer skins have this ability. It seems pretty basic.
