Multiple Accounts on vibrant

I have to emails one is my school g mail the other my personal gmail. I used to have the school one forward messages to the other but that turned into a hassle. I was just wondering if there's anyway to easily switch from one email to the other. Like if there was a widget or something.
Thanks!

I guess you can use the gmail client for one account and configure the email client to get mails from other gmail account. I use both gmail(thru gmail client) and yahoo mail using the email client. Also I see options in email client to configure more than one account, but haven't tried it. I do not want a combined inbox for more than one account as it will be kinda messy. But you can explore that option too.

Settings - accounts and sync -- add account -- Google account

I know how to do this that isn't the problem. My problem is when I get an email I don't automatically which email I'm getting it too. I have to choose the account. I just wish there was a way to separate it right off the bat. Instead of having to go through settings-accounts-email 1/email 2.
Maybe its just wish full thinking.

Yeah, sorry but there's no way to do that. I think there was on 2.2 when I had a Nexus One but I can't remember. Or you could try Gmail Pop Up on the market.

I people disappoint me...
Google app for main account.
Exchange ActiveSync for the second google account.
Google "Google Sync"
Vibrant can manage multiple exchange accounts, so it will work even if you have another exchange account set up.
HTH!

Search the market for gmail unread count. Its a widget you can add to your desktop that looks like an icon for gmail and will show the number of emails you have unread for any and ever gmail account set up on your phone. Its very stable and quite customizeable. I have a diff color icon for each of my 3 accounts and it makes keeping track of unread mails and accessing the specific account I want very very easy.

Im not sure if this is what you want. But I also have two gmail accounts, and one quick way for me to go into the right Inbox, is I created a shortcut for each Inbox, using the Gmail Label shortcut, when you create the shortcut, it will ask you which account you would like to use. Then you can rename the shortcut for each inbox to whatever you want, then from the Home screen just click on whatever Inbox. I hope that helps.

Anyone have problems setting up a second Google Account? I've been trying for a few days and keep getting a "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server" error. I've tried both on WiFi and 3G, in different locations( home, at work, out and about), and still can get my second account linked. I did some digging the settings and found the multiple sign in options, turned all that on, and am able to sign in to both account on the web, but still not on my phone.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Same issue. I was able to do this at one point but after JI6 bricking my phone and getting it back with ODIN I have never been able to add multiple accounts. Hopefully someone here has an answer.

Does anyone know how to set up a school account on gmail (my university uses the gmail interface but has its own log in portal). I cant seem to log in through gmail.com (on the phone and desktop browser)

3rd party email problem

Hey everyon, so through my email app I hve my hotmail account syncing up to it. The problem I have is that when I receive an email and delete it from my phone, it does not delete it from my email account. I only check my email by computer every couple of days so its a PITA to delete a couple hundred emails when I do get on a computer. Does anyone else experience this and if so is there a work around or a free app that will sync my email and delete them from the server as well as my phone

Switch to gmail... it is way better. Plus why would you have a hotmail account with a google phone...

Probably because I've had the email account for years before I had the phone, hell i'vehad th account before there was gmail. I understand that it is a google phone and that Gmail works better with thr phone but With over 200 email contacts I can't just drop my hotmail account.

First off, I don't have experience with your senarion.
That said, have you checked any settings on the phones email app nd hotmail for this problem? Also, do the emails that don't get deleted appear read? Or they unread?

If you go into the email app, then 'Settings->Incoming server settings->Delete email from server', you can change it from 'Never' to 'When I delete from Inbox', although I have had mixed results with this actually working on my Hotmail account. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.

[Q] Which better? Stock or Gmail app?

For those who have tried both: Which app is better, the stock email, or the Gmail app? All I care about is using it FOR Gmail. I've been using the Gmail app, but wondering if I'm missing out on some features.

It's the same thing. Downloading gmail from the market just updates your stock app. You can tell by going to uninstall it in the market; it will say "uninstall updates" which means you lose the updates but not the apk itself.

The email app is good got a 2nd email address. Use gmail for gmail, it's much better.

Can I assume you are paying the $20/yr for Yahoo's "Plus" service? If not, then that's probably your problem. Can't use POP with a free Yahoo account.

Yahoo has their own email app for android.

Pop3 Email problems

So I just got the droid x and I am trying to set up my work email on it. It is a pop3 account. I enter all of the information it asks me such as incoming and outgoing servers and the port numbers and when I click done it says that the account was set up successfully. However, when I go into the email account and try to retreive messages, it says that the user name or password is incorrect. I have triple checked all of the settings and they are correct. I have also tried it on my friends droid x and I get the same error. I am not rooted or anything so im just running stock. Any help is greatly appreciated.

yahoo mail

Looks like yahoo mail and ymail was screwing up and not allowing logging in to check mail. anyone else have this issue?

Only issue I have had is that it does not always tell me I have an email. I have a few times been kicked out of it and then when I logged in on my PC had a message saying that my account may have been compromised. After changing the password I was able to get back in on my phone. After all that the app never seems to update and tell me I have an email. When it does I find I have about 10 of them. This is with no settings changed.

I can't log into mobile website but u can log into phone app email
