I have 4 Gmail accounts tied to my phone. Some are more important than others. How do I make some accounts pull at intervals that I set as oppose to push? Im not seeing this feature in my settings.
To do that, you must use another mail application instead of Gmail app, like the stock e-mail app or k-9, for example.
You can configure the accounts that you want to pull in these apps, and let those accounts you want to push in Gmail app.
disable gmail sync for that account (settings - accounts and sync - select an account), then hit menu - refresh in the gmail app to get new email

My Gmail app won't send emails unless I turn on autosync, however I've found that if I go into my Gmail sent items, and tap refresh a few times, the emails will go out.
I've seen other posts about this problem, and I'm wondering if this can be / will be fixed in the next release of 2.2.
I've setup my Gmail in the regular HTC Mail app alongside my Exchange email, which always sends email either way. I have actually grown to prefer the regular Mail app vs. Gmail at this point.
My next question is - can I get away with using the HTC Mail app, and remove my Gmail settings without losing Gmail sync functionality on the phone, such as contacts, email addresses?
I haven't been able to find a way to remove my Gmail account info from the Gmail app without removing it under Accounts - I would rather use the regular Mail app, but I don't want the regular Gmail app to auto sync alongside my regular Mail app.
If this is fixed in 2.2, I have no worries....Any ideas until then?
Why don't you just turn auto-sync on?
I prefer to leave it off over the weekend to save battery life - I'm not always around a charger.
So, the 'GMail' app is fast and efficient. However, I dislike the look and layout of it. Also, I cannot sync my secondary account with the default GMail app.
I like the Samsung 'Email' application, however, I find that it is too slow in pulling email from Google's servers. When I am sent an email, the default GMail app pings me before my desktop computer. Mail is instantly pushed to the phone, in a delightful way. Then, five minutes later, 'Email' notifies me of the same message.
Is there any way to make the Samsung Email application behave in this way (instant email notifications)? If so, awesome. I have the phone set to check for new emails every thirty minutes. If I lower this time, it still isn't as quick as the 'GMail' app.
If it is possible to somehow push emails to the 'EMail' app in a speedy fashion, then my second question would be: "Is there an easy way - besides deleting the GMail account from the 'GMail' app - to have only one Email program active at a time? Or, perhaps, is there a way to set priority between the two programs? :/
I don't think there is man. Google has developed a hybrid type active sync for pushing email to the Gmail app. This is one of the benefits of using a Android phone if you use Gmail. When it comes to other email apps/clients, Gmail will push using IMAP. My buddy who has a iPhone uses Google Sync and is jealous of how fast I receive my email. He actually got mad at Google for not using the same technology in Google Sync. That's just one of the benefits of using Android with the Gmail app. It gets you the fastest email outside of using Exchange or Active Sync.
Can't you just continue to use the Gmail app for your primary account and the Samsung email app for your secondary account? I have both of my Gmail accounts paired with the Gmail app and my Verizon and Work email synced with the Samsung app. I don't really need instant email on my secondary accounts. If you need yours to be instant then why don't you just forward all of your mail from your secondary account to your Gmail account.

No its not possible, exchange and Gmail (through Gmail client) are Push, other are not.
Well, my secondary account technically is a GMail account. My school has edu accounts through GMail, so the address ends in 'go.schoolname.edu'. Because of this, GMail has issues syncing that account (even though it is a Google Mail account).
Lame. :/
Oh well. Thanks, guys.
Download K9-Mail from the market. I have 2 outlook work emails & gmail all in K-9.
Best of all it's free.

You can have two accounts linked on the Gmail app. Press menu and then add accounts.

K-9 mail was able to do "instant" push via IMAP for me, but it really slowed my phone down. Try K-9 and if you find it slows your phone down too, try out MailDroid.
MailDroid doesn't slow my phone down at all and seems to do IMAP push well, but its a but light on features and polish.
You can import up to five other email accounts into your main gmail account. That way you only have to use the gmail servers for all your mail. I have all my pop mail linked to my gmail account and I get all my mail instantly. You can then label each account with a different color and filter them.

I've setup all my gmail accounts in my phone(3 gmail). And if you have other email accounts such as aol, hotmail etc you can add those account on one of your gmail (login to the web) and have gmail fetch all those emails that way you have push email on those account
Hi There!
I want to configure my wife's Defy so she can get email from her gmail account.
I don't want it to be pop3, as I don't want to remove any of the messages from her gmail account, as she also gets her email via pop3 on her Desktop Outlook?
I see 2 different gmail options on her phone, is it an option to get some form of sync'd account or perhaps is Imap the only other option?
Cheers
You might have to enable IMAP in your Gmail account preferences, but you can also use POP3 and configure it to not delete the messages on the server.
Also from my experience the default mail application works better than the gmail one which is slow and doesn't always show latest messages to me.

Yah I am finding it hard to believe there isn't some form of activesync syncing option.
Hello,
I am very new to Android. I just received my Note 10.1 today. I am trying to configure my gmail and other mails on it. I want to use the mail app for all my emails instead of GMAIL app. How do I do that? When I initially booted the device, I used my gmail account and it automatically configured my gmail on the GMAIL app. I configured gmail on the native mail app as well. Now I have my gmail on both places, I want to use only the native mail app. Removing email sync under settings > accounts> is causing a sync error icon and it also cause the GMAIL app to crash.
Like I said I am very new to Android, this is my first android device. Can someone help me configure this? Hope I posted this on the right forum.
TIA

Hi, Thanks for reply. So you want me to use this new id to download apps etc on the play store, but use my main id for emails?
I don't use the Gmail app either. I use the Samsung stock e-mail client so my Exchange and other e-mail accounts are all in a unified inbox. Samsung's e-mail client can be set up on Gmail to receive "push" e-mail via Activesync. In the stock e-mail client set up a new e-mail account using your Gmail address and passord. On the first set-up page you'll see a "manual setup" option, select it.
Use these settings...
Under domain\user name enter...
google\"your e-mail address"@gmail.com
Under Exchange server enter...
m.google.com
Now you'll receive e-mails as they arrive in you Gmail inbox. This method is also less hard on the battery. Go in to Settings>Application manager and swipe three times to the left until "all" applications are showing. Scroll down to find the Gmail app. Open it and press "disable." Now all your Gmail will be routed through the stock e-mail client without being duplicated in Gmail.
P.S. - Gmail via Activesync is being discontinued to new users (legacy user's are protected) effective February 1, 2013.

Thanks for your reply. I have done the first part and it seems to be working. I see mails coming to the native mail app.
But I don't see an option to disable GMAIL app under app manager. All I have is force stop, uninstall updates, clear data, clear cache. NO other options. Am I missing something.

Oops. To disable an app you always have to uninstall any updates to it first. Once you do that you'll see the "disable" option.

Ok, I did it. It removed the gmail app. I guess I am good now. Thanks.
The app Gmail only allows for one gmail account, so one would have to use another email app such as Email or k-9 to get mails from various accounts. Since I don't want to pull duplicate gmail messages, I'd prefer to disable Gmail. Would the disabling cause some ill effects such as synchronization and accessibility to Google cloud? If so, any solutions?
Nope, if won't cause any issues. Just disable the gmail sync in the settings under your google account and you'll be fine
The gmail app can use as many accounts as you like, so I'm not sure what you're referring to. The gmail app is completely safe to install, as it can be installed/uninstalled right from the Play Store.
yea gmail lets you have many accounts, and the messages are separated and no not join the two emails.
just goto settings and add a gmail account, goto gmail click on your email address at the top and you can switch between the 2 there

Yes Gmail allows for multiple gmail accounts, but I don't see how I could add other accounts such as yahoo and work emails. Please correct me if this is not the case.

The Gmail app is for Gmail and "Google Apps" email accounts.
The Email app is for POP3 / IMAP4 / SMTP / and Active Sync (Exchange) accounts.
Yahoo has their own email app, but does offer IMAP4 and SMTP for premium accounts.
Check with the company IT department for ActiveSync settings for Work Exchange Email.
I have Gmail disabled and have seen NO troubles after doing so..
I gave up on the Gmail app when they removed the ability to increase the font size from within the app..
