There is no such option. Under Email icon i only have hotmail account. No other account.
Anyway problem solved. Seems like the default email app combines email and sms and there is no setting to change that so i deleted my email account and downloaded outlook/hotmail app from play store and now no sms appearing in my mail :good:

I don't think you can delete the original Outlook account. I uncheck it in the Activesync list since I use Gmail IMAP. You could reroute your Hotmail through Gmail so that you have one place to get your mail and you would have a master copy in the Gmail "All Mail" folder. I have Gmail getting several accounts for me, I just get them all with Gmail IMAP.
Thats exactly what I wanted . THANKS!
Unchecked it in ActiveSync and it worked.
There is only one question I have. I have als set up gmail over imap. But I only see the inbox mails. In all other folders (tabs made in gmail) I dont see one mail. Could someone explain to me how I can set it up to see all mails I ever recieved in gmail?
Thanks!

Go to Gmail in Pocket Outlook/menu/tools/manage folders, click on the + next to Gmail at the top. Now you can select which email that you want transferred to your HD. I don't select "All Mail", but rather select Drafts, Sent Mail and Starred. BTW, the Sent Items under the normal Gmail Inbox should be unchecked for IMAP to work properly.

Thanks! Seems to work pretty well
Why should the sent items under the normal Gmail Inbox be unchecked for IMAP to work properly? Only curious to know why
I'll try to sync only some subfolders and the draft/sent mail/starred folders.

It makes duplicates of all the emails. I actually didn't use it that way because the directions from Gmail online gave instructions to disable the Sent Items folder.
I'm glad it's working for you.

Email Issue.

So I set up my Gmail account and everything was working fine, then after I rebooted my mail wont show up! I though the account might have been deleted somehow but no its still there, it wont show my mail though, when I press inbox It only has 2 options, SMS/MMS and Setup Email, no option for my Gmail. Also when I go to account setting, my Gmail is there, not sure what the problem is. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Did you set it up using ActiveSync or creating a new inbox?

Did you install SWYPE?
I had the same problem with it cos it seems in that leaked version passwords and general entries arent saved regulary. It just saves entries by time.
Use the normal keyboard and your accounts wont disapper in the tab.
The account is still there.
just go to email tab and click ->menu->account settings
Then you will see the accounts and when you click on it you will see that the important settings are missing (like imap and smtp server settings)
You can now enter the settings again and the account and inbox will be accessable again from your email tab.
My hint:
Just uninstall SWYPE and use the regular keyboard.

Remove Hotmail email (using Windows Live app does not work)

Hi,
I have 2 email accounts that I'd like to remove. Hotmail and Windows Live. They stopped syncing all of a sudden and when I select either of them and select Inbox, the next screen shows Set up Email account. When I try to set up my Hotmail and Windows Live email account again, I get a message saying that these accounts already exist.
I installed Windows Live 10.7 after trying out the above, but still no luck.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks!

even your hotmail and Windows Live Mail boxes are highlighted? Mine's greyed out...
if you allow them to be set up automatically then you need to go top the live app and remove your login details, which should remove the linked email account.

The Live app creates another Hotmail and another Windows Live Mail account which I can remove using Live app. The original accounts still remain in the Email Tab.
ahh.
no help then, sorry.

Need help setting up email - New Android user

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

Use another gmail account for your main android account. And then add your current gmail acount to email app..

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.

[Q] Disable Gmail?

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..
