My new job uses google for small business for email. What is the best way to manage my gmail for personal and work separately? I don't want them to be interlaced at all.

I have two google accounts and I manage them separately in the gmail application. You can choose on top to which account you go and can switch easily between the accounts. This is just for emails.
If you have two accounts you have to be careful though with contacts and calendars because they are all synchronized (except you stop it) to one calendar and one contact application.
But when I launch gmail it pulls up a combined inbox.

It would also appear that anything sent to a distribution list that I'm on appears under my gmail instead of my work gmail. Ideas?

are you sure? I see them separated and I can switch between them on the right upper site where it gives you the name of the active account. Press on the active account name and a window opens in which you can choose the accounts.

Yes this is correct but I still have the problem with the distribution list. I was mistaking the distribution list problem for the above. I didn't realize the correlation until other e-mails came in.

I like the HTC mail application that comes with Sense, but I'm having one issue. I use it with two Gmail accounts. Whenever I delete an e-mail, it moves it to "[Imap]/Trash" instead of the normal trash folder. There's also an "[Imap]/Sent" and an "[Imap]/Drafts" where the respective e-mails go. Is there a way to disable this and get it to go to the proper Trash/Sent/Drafts folders?
I had the same issue and started using the Gmail app instead of HTC Mail. On iPhone there are specific settings to avoid this behavior. Maybe someone will post a solution. Btw what are you using for Contacts and Calendars? Is there an HTC app for those? I know for sure that I didn't get contacts and calendar to sync using HTC Mail app. With Gmail app they do sync fine.
Since this is the first Android phone I've owned, I'm not really sure if the calendar app is different, but I know the contacts app is. It's called people, but both it and the calendar app seem to work fine syncing with their google equivalents. Mail is the only one I've had issues with.
Well, I didn't manage to fix it completely, but I set up a partial work around. If you remove all mail from the visible folders for IMAP and set up the advanced imap settings to either move mail to the trash or delete it forever after it's expunged from the last visible imap folder, it will do whichever behavior you chose when you delete it from your trash folder in HTC mail. That does mean that you need to use the Gmail application for archiving mail, though, but it's at least a temporary fix.
I'm brand new to android, and smart phones in general. How do I access google calendar, other than through the web browser? Like is there a way to access it through the gmail app? I hope my question is clear. Thanks!

Add your Google account under "Accounts & Sync" in the settings menu and check the box for Calendar syncing...
It will then show up in the stock Android calendar on your phone.
I'm new as well. Coming from a Blackberry. Does the my calendar that is on the phone sync with the Google Calendar online? When I am adding entry's it ask where do I want to put them...
Laristech, the calendar on the phone syncs with google. I just tried it. I assume it works the other way around too.

Correct, it Syncs back and forth between computer and phone as the information is stored in the cloud. However, when adding new events on the Phone I always add them to the Google calendar, not to "My Calendar". Which is a pain because it always defaults to My Calendar and I have to change it each time I add an entry.
I have the facebook application syncing with my contact data.
When I pull up my contacts and look under the linked accounts, each user has 5 linked accounts.
How is this possible? Is this a glitch?
The only other contact sync I have is Google.
same here.. when I look, there are five icons "linked" one google, one facebook, and THREE little green icons (WTF are those?)

Yes, that is exactly what I have too. Very annoying.
I have noticed this issue as well. In my accounts and sync settings I somehow have two facebook accounts, which I think was caused by the last upgrade to the facebook app.
Unsyncing and/or deleting one of the facebook accounts solved the problem.
I am also showing lots of account sync icons in my contacts. Thought maybe I just did something wrong. If deleting them and then syncing them worked for you I'm going to try it and see what I come up with.

Happens on mine too. If you set up your Facebook account from the Accounts and Sync settings, then you won't have any problems with multiple linked accounts. When you use the Facebook Android app and widget and login, it'll ask you if you want to sync your contacts and calendars. That's where I saw that all the duplicate linked accounts appear.
The big problem I've seen is that either way, if you go to your contacts and try to access their Facebook page it will only open your profile and not go to their page.
Kind of sucks.

I get that too! Now because I have multiple links to each contact, I have 5 links to facebook profiles under each contact. Each time I click on any of them, it simply takes me to my own page. Great...
I Just double checks a few of mine and it shows 3 right now but I think that's because I have it showing on specific accounts. I have a Google, Facebook, and unknown account listed per person. The unknown one is the one I don't get. I can also see their recent updates, pics, and profile pics again. Idk wtf happened lol.

Yep, I meant to edit my post with how I got rid of them but because I'm a n00b here I get limited to one post every 5 minutes including editing :\
The way I found to get rid of the duplicate contacts is having to go into the Accounts and Sync settings and delete the Facebook Android account. If you're using the Facebook widget that will also log you out of it. You can then log back in using the widget or app and make sure to uncheck the contacts sync so that way it doesn't sync at all (especially since your phone already is doing so if you added your account using the Accounts and Sync setting). Reason I wanted to get rid of them is when you access your contacts through something like adding a new contact from an unknown text message, it pulls up all the synced contacts that are connected with your phone (duplicate entries stored on your phone/sim/facebook account(s)/twitter/etc)
I bought my g/f a d2 and she has successfully enveloped her entire self in it, lol. And this from having only a trac phone b4 I knew she'd love it.
And now my question:
She managed to get the set up done by herself..entirely..
She created a gmail acct on the PC and everything except for her calendar syynced. When I attempt to add a calendar acct there isn't the option 2do so when selecting her existing acct. And when attempting to "add acct" it takes me to a screen that asks if I want to add or if I have existing acct.
Tap on existing and fill in username/pw it tells me there is already an acct under this name!! Of course there is I selected EXISTING acct!
.....basically her phone won't allow her to edit info on her calendar because it thinks she doesn't have a calendar acct. But won't let her use her existing gmail she started the phone with.
Any ideas?

When you go into Accounts & Sync, there is no option for cal sync at all? Or within the calendar you dont see the specific calendars she wants to sync?
So I'm new to Motoblur, but not Android phones.
At the moment I have two Gmail accounts and a Facebook account linked to my Motoblur account. As a result, I have ALL my contacts from all of those accounts in my contact lists, even though I have a "Cell Contacts" list under one of my Gmail accounts.
On my Milestone/Droid, I could select this group from Contacts > Menu, but apparently here I cannot. Any attempt at deleting all my contacts won't let me delete my primary Gmail account, saying other apps are using it. This is leading to frustration. Using Motorola Phone Tools won't let me delete Facebook contacts, as it says they were imported by a third party source.
Am I screwed here? Any solutions?
download Contact Remover from the market and you can delete all or selected contacts in one swoop.

But won't that just make them come back when my contacts re-sync?

make it so it doesn't sync contacts?
When you delete contacts you don't want they do not come back (I've done this a couple of times) I also went in and liked all contacts that belong together to make it less messy
