So I've noticed that both HTC Mail and Gmail are running. Are they both trying to get the same email, or is the HTC Mail app using the Gmail app?

No. I have 3 emails. When I needed to set up the Aria, I used my normal gmail account. That is the one that the gmail icon uses.
I also have another gmail account as well as a Hotmail account. I used those two acounts as additional email accounts on the phone. Those are the accounts that the HTC Mail icon uses. Really, it just means that I now have to have an extra icon on my homescreen..lol
I would imagine they are both independently trying to check your email, assuming you set up HTC mail with your gmail account.

That's exactly what I did. Lame.
You can set up all of your mail accounts to either app. If you decide to use HTC mail in the phone's account settings stop email sync.

For some reason the Gmail and Xoom email apps will not sync with all my Gmail contacts. Some contacts don't show. All are available through the Gmail website interface.
Any suggestions?

Are you sure you haven't got a filter active in the contacts app on your Xoom? By filter, I mean "View only contacts with email", "View only contacts with a phone number" etc.

Thanks! I'm lucky I spotted this thread! My gmail stopped auto syncing yesterday too, have Google maybe changed something? Anyway, I deleted my gmail data and everything works now.
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
Hello all,
I recently moved my wife to Gmail on her AT&T Galaxy S4. She has a bunch of Google contacts and Facebook contacts. The problem is that when she uses Gmail to email a FB friend who has an email account listed it never shows up in Gmail. I have a Moto X 2014 with the stock Contacts app and I can email any contact in my list, regardless of where it is coming from? Is there a way to get this to operate on my wife's phone? I tried loading the Google Contacts app but that blew up.
Thanks,
Steve
Hey all,
So, I guess there was an update where Gmail takes over the native email client. Thing is, I don't want to use Gmail to manage the mail, I want to use the regular one. In the instructions on how to get Gmail out, is says to go to accounts, then select the POP/IMAP accounts you don't want managed by Gmail. I don't have that option, for me, Gmail is everywhere. When I try to add an account, it's Gmail.
Any idea on the Moto how I can go back? Uninstall Gmail? And any idea why the Moto Mail app is incompatible with the Moto X Pure?
Thanks
Apparently Moto came up with another one, but it shows as incompatible so far.......another waiting game i suppose.

Gmail app somehow borked up my yahoo email in gmail app, when yahoo email forced a password change. Couldn't get it to work anymore and couldn't remove the instance of yahoo email from the app/accounts either. Sometimes I think Google intentionally sets things up to not work very well with competitors' stuff like this.
I'm using K-9 mail app for yahoo email now, works well enough for me.
Not seeing the moto email client on play...
I just gave up on pre installed mail apps altogether and have been using CloudMagic client as my default. Odd name I know, but its easily one of the best email clients I've used on android.
I just started using blue mail and really like the looks and feel. I used kaiten forever but it started giving me problems with this phone.

I actually prefer to keep my emails separate. I use yahoo app for Yahoo mail. Gmail for my gmail accounts. Outlook for exchange and my Hotmail account.
I like it organized and separated better that way. Especially since I have two business accounts it helps to keep it organized and my exchange accounts always sync perfect via outlook

I never use pre-installed email or Gmail client. Big fan of K-9 app. Give K-9 and other apps mentioned here a try, you may find one to your liking.

Another vote for K-9 Mail.
My issue with CloudMagic (if I remember correctly), they store your emails on their servers. They also spam you with ads unless you specifically opt-out.
You have to have an outside link to view the Moto email client on the play store. I wonder why it's not compatible with their flagship phone? I also would like to use this app.
For my work exchange account, Outlook is doing OK so far. But I'd sure like to find a way to force the new Moto mail app onto our devices.
I use Nine for exchange.

Does nine or k9 allow you to bypass exchange security like mailwise?
Thanks for all the suggestions, but has anyone found an answer to the original question? how do I default back to the stock email client on the Moto? The instructions Google provides don't match with what I see on my screen...
Thanks
the moto email client used to be the AOSP email client, until google made gmail app handle all mail types from what i understand. You would have to root and unlock to get the old AOSP mail app.
Theres a new moto mail app that is supposed to be on the new droid coming out but it shows incompatible for our pure, maybe in the future that will be available.
