Nothing special. Input your details into K9 and it takes care of the rest. Very easy. I use K9 for Gmail and prefer it over the Gmail app.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about Hotmail and Exchange using K9, I still don't think there is a solution for it. Stock Email app works fine with these new Exchange settings for Hotmail but doesn't do HTML, so it's useless. If anyone knows of a way, please let me know. I'd love to have all my email accounts consolidated into one in K9. Didn't mean to hijack this thread btw, getting Gmail to work in K9 is as simple as inputting your email and password, K9 will autoconfigure it.
I've had nothing but problems trying to setup hotmail as exchange vs regular pop3 in any email client so I just don't bother.
I have hotmail setup as pop3 in K-9 and I'm fine with it.

Gmail allows you to link all your various e-mail accounts together and view them as one instead of logging into several accounts or inboxes.Those with data contracts wll likely have no dificulties using gmail on the go. However, it seems many folk cannot connect if they are using a pre-paid or payg account with their telecom provider.For these people you currently have a Java Applet version, wifi when available, or logging in via the browser (expensive). Hence the need for an application that gives the same look and functionality as that enjoyed by data conacted folk.Mike

So my question is, "then I should be able to get all my email using the pocket outlook configured to this gmail account right?"
the gmail app that I am refering to is a small client that allows for gmail to push messages to your handheld device. I used it on my Blackberry and it was great. I had heard that google was going to eventually release the same type of client for PPC. Also, I use google apps so I do not have a gmail account. i have a [email protected] account that uses gmail.

because the pop3 sync is hard on the battery. (unless you accept the defaults to sync every 2 hours.) the gmail app is not hard on the battery. at least it wasn't on the Blackberry.
I'd like to know this as well.. I hardly use the gmail java midlet because it just isnt too great. If they had a native app like google maps or something, then I'm sure they can make it much better.

That's the theory - try it out on the PC

Have you considered logging into gmail, using the help function there, and then asking google this question? Seems they'd be the ones to know, not us.
You could even inform everyone here about what their response is after you do so.
Unified email
Hey everyone! my friend and i have hd2's but he has 6 email accounts and he was asking me is there a way to make all his emails come into one inbox like on blackberries...i suppose its called "unified email"
ive been using windows mobile for a year now and i cant seem to find a way to "unify" the emails..is there a way for this to be done?
thank you
btw he has the stock tmobile rom,
which would be windows phone 6.5
__________________
I don't know of a specific way to do this on WinMo; however, a work around would be to setup a GMail account (or Hotmail, Yahoo, whichever) and configure that to download email from the six accounts.
Once you have done this, you would only need to setup the Gmail (or other) account on your phone and everything should all come down in one place.
Not really a cure, but a solution nonetheless.
Re: Unified Email
I've used Flexmail for this purpose. It can integrate yahoo, gmail, hotmail, and other types of POP mail accounts and send them to you via imap push. With Flexmail, you can set rules for incoming emails so that they automatically sort into folders on your phone. I like it a lot.

Flexmail was excellent when I used it on a Treo Pro. I've installed it on my HD2 and found it was not at all useable without a D-pad. I just couldn't get it to work right.

Gmail does everything you listed as well via pop, imap push, and exchange for free. If you use the exchange setup you can sync your calendar and contacts as well, works great.
Great recommendation by Franwella.
Hi,
I use Gmail for this too, works well.
using Gmail is the right solution. I'm using it and it's a lot confortable.

thank you all for the responses...idk why i didnt think about this, although i have a similar set up lols!
The stock client mail downloads first the headers of the mail and than all the mail + attachment’s. I can't set a download limit.
I installed k9 mail client which is much better than the stock client but it downloads all the mails witch attachments, images from signatures and so on.
Can someone redirect me to a better client mail?
I need a better E-Mail CLient, too.
Google Mail is fast and good EXCEPT of the god damming auto-cut of my emails.
In gmail.com I can open the cutted emails with "see details" but this is not possible in gmail App.
The same with the Links.
I don't like K-9 and I don't like MailDroid.
Are threre no goooood email-apps ??

Indeed, I'm only downloading 1kb for each message. You can also set the days to download, like, just from the past 2 days.
I am total Newbie to android (from iphone 3g) and learning every time I use the phone or browse forums online. Loving the phone so far (its so damn fast)
A few questions in my mind on the mail App:
1. I want to use one consolidated mail app for all my accounts (exchange, gmail with activesync, yahoo & hotmail). Is this possible? I see there is a separate app for Yahoo but I want to use just one app for all. Also I am unable to configure hotmail using activesync. Can anyone please post the settings?
2. I see that the mail app doesnt maintain a tree structure, I need to click at the top to change accounts instead of going back just like I am used to on my iphone. Can this be changed or I need to start getting used to this?
Appreciate any help
I use Gmail for all my accounts. On your PC, go into your Gmail user settings. You can import all kinds of different accounts from there. The beauty of this is its seamless integration with Android OS. Once you set it up you'll never have to repeat the process again. If you wipe your phone or switch phones, you log in and you're good to go.
Thanks for your suggestion. However I would like to seperate out my accounts and dont want to import them into gmail.
Is there any other way to get this done or is it something I need to live with (which i am not very happy about)

Your accounts will be labeled separately. You can color code them and filter your folders too. You should give it a try. It's very reliable.
Ok. I will give it a shot and see. Thanks.
BTW, any inputs on getting yahoo mail and hotmail on activesync working in the default mail app?

+1...?
Also, if you set up gmail to get your mail from your yahoo accounts, how frequently will it get/check for your yahoo messages? Can you set it up so that your replies look like it came from your yahoo account?

Go to Google and search for these FAQs. All i can tell you is that i get pop and imap accounts pushed through Gmail frequently enough that i never miss a beat.
Hey all,
So, I guess there was an update where Gmail takes over the native email client. Thing is, I don't want to use Gmail to manage the mail, I want to use the regular one. In the instructions on how to get Gmail out, is says to go to accounts, then select the POP/IMAP accounts you don't want managed by Gmail. I don't have that option, for me, Gmail is everywhere. When I try to add an account, it's Gmail.
Any idea on the Moto how I can go back? Uninstall Gmail? And any idea why the Moto Mail app is incompatible with the Moto X Pure?
Thanks
Apparently Moto came up with another one, but it shows as incompatible so far.......another waiting game i suppose.

Gmail app somehow borked up my yahoo email in gmail app, when yahoo email forced a password change. Couldn't get it to work anymore and couldn't remove the instance of yahoo email from the app/accounts either. Sometimes I think Google intentionally sets things up to not work very well with competitors' stuff like this.
I'm using K-9 mail app for yahoo email now, works well enough for me.
Not seeing the moto email client on play...
I just gave up on pre installed mail apps altogether and have been using CloudMagic client as my default. Odd name I know, but its easily one of the best email clients I've used on android.
I just started using blue mail and really like the looks and feel. I used kaiten forever but it started giving me problems with this phone.

I actually prefer to keep my emails separate. I use yahoo app for Yahoo mail. Gmail for my gmail accounts. Outlook for exchange and my Hotmail account.
I like it organized and separated better that way. Especially since I have two business accounts it helps to keep it organized and my exchange accounts always sync perfect via outlook

I never use pre-installed email or Gmail client. Big fan of K-9 app. Give K-9 and other apps mentioned here a try, you may find one to your liking.

Another vote for K-9 Mail.
My issue with CloudMagic (if I remember correctly), they store your emails on their servers. They also spam you with ads unless you specifically opt-out.
You have to have an outside link to view the Moto email client on the play store. I wonder why it's not compatible with their flagship phone? I also would like to use this app.
For my work exchange account, Outlook is doing OK so far. But I'd sure like to find a way to force the new Moto mail app onto our devices.
I use Nine for exchange.

Does nine or k9 allow you to bypass exchange security like mailwise?
Thanks for all the suggestions, but has anyone found an answer to the original question? how do I default back to the stock email client on the Moto? The instructions Google provides don't match with what I see on my screen...
Thanks
the moto email client used to be the AOSP email client, until google made gmail app handle all mail types from what i understand. You would have to root and unlock to get the old AOSP mail app.
Theres a new moto mail app that is supposed to be on the new droid coming out but it shows incompatible for our pure, maybe in the future that will be available.
