hello
i have setup gmail in the standard arc email application (in addition to gmail application).
i have set it up with push mail (using exchange not imap).
whenever i get a new mail, I am getting the push notification on the status bar, but if I open the inbox the new mail is not there. this is the 'at' sign notification (not the gmail application notification which i am also getting). I have to refresh to get the mail. this seems strange to me.
I have disable contact and calendar sync for gmail exchange setup because they are already synchronized by andriod.
why am i not using the gmail application? i like the clean inbox of the native app better. also i will be using a few more mail accounts and want a unified inbox.
this issue seems to have somehow solved itself

I currently organise my mail into their respective folders, so they don't appear in the inbox.
WIth the X1, it doesn't notify you when you have a new message in any folder, it only notifies you when you have a new message in the inbox only.
I think it would quite useful if a program was developed to create a same notification when an email arrives in any folder in Outlook on teh X1, not just in the inbox.
Any suggestions?
I've had the same problem. The way I solved it was to go to your settings in Gmail (from the web, not your phone) and forward all incoming mail to your Hotmail account. If you don't have one, get one. Now when your phone syncs with hotmail, You will get all your email as they arrive.....And Your Gmail mail will be untouched still in their folders. There's really no need to check Gmail anymore as all your mail is forwarded to one account (Hotmail).
I prefer to use Gmail as my primiary account and don't like having so many email accounts.
I'm sure this is just a case of tell the phone to notify you when ANY folder has a new message in it.
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.
Hi guys. I currently use the gmail app for my gmail account and the typical email app for my outlook account. I have noticed that Gmail will eventually remove a notification from my task bar if I read the email somewhere on my computer. The email app, however, will just keep racking the new mail count up. I use outlook push notification, so I will get notifications for new mail while I am at work. I typically check them on my computer, since I am there. When I go to my phone after several of these, I will have a notification on my phone saying that I have X new emails. When I open the notification, they will all be read.
Has anybody else experienced this issue? Is this just a limitation of using outlook push notification?
Hello.
I am using the built in Gmail application and have a problem and a request:
1) When I'm viewing an email in my PC in Gmail site, the app syncs fine and it shows the email as read. Although, when I'm reading an email with a 3rd party app called "Sparrow" which is running by IMAP on my PC then the Gmail app in my device doesn't get updated until a new message arrives, but the Gmail website does update immediately. Can I do something to make the app updated even if I read the email with Sparrow?
2) Is there anyway to mark email as read from the notification bar?
Thank you very much!
Would appreciate some help

The Gmail app uses push so it syncs the phone app and account as soon as you do anything. Other apps using IMAP have to sync back to the server for the changes to become apparent. This is why I use the Gmail app for my Gmail and the stock app for POP3/IMAP email
But what's weird is that the Gmail website does sync with the IMAP app and the Gmail Android app doesn't - until a new message arrive, then it "refreshes" itself and mark the email I read as read.
Can't really offer a suggestions as the Gmail app does what I want it to!
I think it's all fixed, I've updated the IMAP app on my Mac.
Anyway, what about the "mark as read" when I read an email from the notification bar? Any tweak for that?
The new Gmail app has the option to Archive (which also marks it read) but don't know if that'll be of any use. It's fine for me as I can archive an email on my phone and Outlook 2013 still downloads it as a new email as it's the first time an email clients has downloaded it
So when you archive an email in your phone, Outlook just looks at it as a read email?
No, it downloads it as a new email cause I use POP3 in Outlook not IMAP
For GMail, I get my emails instantly. Just wondering if I have Hotmail, do I get emails instantly too? Thanks.
I had a problem with this, too. You have to set it up in the Email app and set the push notifications for each account you have.
I had a problem at first because I have a Gmail account and a Hotmail account on my phone. Everything worked, but when I got a new email from Gmail, I also received a notification from the Gmail app as well as the Email app. It took me a little bit to figure out how to get rid of that annoyance (go into Gmail app and turn off notifications).

Try the Outlook.com app.
http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.outlook
It has push capabilities.
You have to have sync enabled as well if you don't already (a.k.a. Settings>Data>auto-sync app data). Without sync enabled it won't matter if you have your exchange accts, Hotmail, etc... set to Push in the stock email app. I get my corporate exchange acct, and hotmail messages, more or less "right away".
