So I have all three of my Gmail accounts on my S7 Edge. No root, no mods, etc. Two of the three accounts have the categories inbox.....and I just cannot get the third one set that way. It was the same on my previous Galaxy S5. Anybody have any thoughts? When going into settings for the inbox, after selecting default inbox, it does not give me the option to choose categories. Very annoying!

A few months back I was messing around with MSN options and it added Hotmail to my list of email accounts on my 8125 and it gives no option to remove it. I don't want to check hotmail and never will. How can I remove this? Also, in my list of email accounts is also Outlook Email. Can this be removed also?
Select messaging, Hotmail(or whatever you named the account), menu, tools, options, touch and hold the account name and a delete option will appear. Bye Bye....
Wouldn't this technically be a question about email removal, not email setup?
But seriously, yeah, it's just as easy as tcestes says.
I believe it is a question about removing an account that was set up. Your mileage may vary.......
I've already tried that, guess I should have mentioned it. Actually when I go to Menu, Tools, Options.....Hotmail & Outlook Email are NOT even listed under the accounts. But if I go into my email and click at the upper left for the dropdown menu of all accounts, there they are.
You know how you can display a mail account on one of the Eris homescreens and you can select it from several different accounts? Well, my wife wants to be able to do that with two different accounts on two different homescreens, but I can't find a way to do that. I can put up a widget for a different mail account elswhere, but can't make it actually just display the mail in that account. It seems to only do that for one account on one screen, being the default account. Anybody tried this and found success??

Hi,
sorry to bring this up again, but I am trying to figure out how calendars on this device work, as I seem to have a lot more calendars than I have on my galaxy nexus phone.
--
Ok, let's start from the source: GOOGLE CALENDAR.
I have 5 calendars on google.com/calendars:
- 3 Personal Calendars: Personal Appointments, Personal Anniversaries, Personal ToDos
- 1 Tasks Calendar (this being the usual Google Tasks)
- 1 Other Calendar: Contacts' Birthdays and Events (this being the usual Google Birthdays)
--
Now on my Galaxy nexus phone, where I have the official Google Calendar app installed.
Here I can sync 4 calendars:
- 3 personal calendars: Personal Appointments, Personal Anniversaries, Personal ToDos
- 1 Other calendar: Contacts' Birthdays and Events
Of course there is no Tasks Calendar, as this cannot be synced with Google Calendar App (stupid I know) but for this I am using GTasks.
The same applies for calendars to display: all the calendars I can sync I can also display.
Good, all is fine.
--
Now on my Note 10.1 where I use s-planner for calendars and GTasks for Google Tasks.
Here things start getting complicated...
-
First of all, if I go under "Settings" then "Sync Settings" and then "Sync Events/Actvities" I get a pop up labeled "Add account" where I see a green light next to: Samsung Account, Facebook, Google (screen shot attached "add account").
What the hell is this? I understand this is where I can choose which accounts I can sync with s-note, right? So then why can I only select new one and I cannot deselct let's say Facebook? And why is Facebook there? It is not there on my phone, why is here on the tablet?
-
Second, still under "Settings" I see two voices: one labeled with my Gmail address ([email protected]) and one labeled with my name (Giovanni Stoto).
If I click on each one, I see some calendars I can sync, in the specific (see attached screen shots "sync gmail calendars" and "sync gs calendars"):
-a- [email protected]: Personal Appointments, Personal Anniversaries, Personal ToDos, Contacts' Birthdays and Events, Samsung Calendar and Samsung Tasks_Activities
-b- Giovanni Stoto: Facebook
Now I guess Facebook is there because it is also there at point one above. fine, I can live with this, i simply don't sync it.
What about the two extra Samsung calendars (Samsung Calendar and Samsung Tasks_Activities)? Are these created when I create a Samsung account? Is the only way to get rid of these two samsung calendars to remove the samsung account? And if I remove the samsung account, do I lose anything? Please note that the samsung calendars are showing my gmail address, but that's because I have used this address to register with samsung. I give for granted that if I select to sync these calendars, then they will be synced with samsung website, not with gmail, so sort of useless.
-
Third, let's go under "Settings" then "Visualization Settings" and then "Calendars".
here I get a list of calendars that I can display. Well, yes but... I get a lot more than I can sync!!!!!! (see attached screen shot "view calendars")
Besides having my google calendars (Personal Appointments, Personal Anniversaries, Personal ToDos, Contacts' Birthdays and Events), my samsung calendars (Samsung Calendar and Samsung Tasks_Activities) and my facebbok calendar (Facebook), I also have "Personal Calendar" and "Personal Activities" and "Contac's Birthdays".
So where do the 3 new personal calendars are coming from? I presume they are local calendars built-in in s-planner. And why I cannot deselect "Personal Birthdays"?
--
Fourth, let's add a new event in s-planner. (see attached screen shot "add event calendars")
When i choose in which calendar to add the event, guess what?! I get a list of ONLY 5 calendars: the 3 Personal google calendars (Personal Appointments, Personal Anniversaries, Personal ToDos), the Samsung Calendar and the Personal Calendar.
Ok this makes sense but... If I am chosing not to sync and not to show Samsung calendars and Personal; calendars, why are they showing here? Any way not to have them in the list?
--
Fifth and last, let's add an activity in s-planner. (see attached screen shot "add activity calendars")
When selecting the calendar here I expect at this point to have 2 calendars: Samsung Tasks_Activities and Personal Activities.
Indeed I do, even if the Samsung Tasks_Activities is labeled with my gmail address (maybe a bug).
I also understand (and prove me wrong if) that Samsung Tasks_Activities are synced with samsung account only and cannot be synced with Google Tasks.
----------
I believe there is no way to ge rid of calendars from Samsung, Personal (local) and Facebook.
I managed to choose only the google calendars for sync and display, but I would also like to get rid of samsung calendar and personal (local) calendar from the list of calendars when adding a new event, but I understand thgis is either a bug or is not possible.
Well anyone that can clarify or help or just put his own 2 cent, is welcome.

Hi Guys,
I have a few email accounts setup on my phone, mostly Gmail, all with the same settings and setup with IMAP. Somehow most of the accounts work fine, but two of them seem to function more like a POP3 account. If I delete or mark the email as read from my phone, the change will update on the server and my computer. If I go the other way though and read or delete from my computer, the change will not reflect on my phone. Because of this most of my accounts show only a few unread emails, and two of them show 50 unread. Has anyone had a similar issue, and are there any thoughts to solve this?
I've tried deleting and adding the account again on my phone, and going through all the settings Gmail on working and nonworking accounts to compare. I'm using the stock email app on the Alliance KK Rom. Thanks,
Nila

Not sure if i'm the only one who uses the Stock SS Email App, but I noticed that it seems the new S7 version is MUCH more limited than the previous S6 version. For instance, there are no selective sync options - i can't choose not to sync contacts/calendar/messages. In fact, it seems text syncing is completely gone for some reason.
Anyone else noticed this?? Looks like I'll just wait for root and install the S6 apks lol
Gmail all the way

'Nine' for work mails, Gmail for personal. Can't beat that setup IMO!

The problem is that no "third-party" app supports the text syncing :/
Also, my personal IMAP email SSL settings are not supported by some apps as well... i'm in this like small bubble of issues from every direction
Did you try Aqua Mail?
The problem is, for the time being the only app that supports email notifications on the always-on screen is Samsung's email app...

It is the same as it was on the Note 5. To choose your syncing options, go into Phone Settings then Accounts. Select your email account and you will have the Sync option for Calendar, Contacts, Email, and Tasks.
Nine for exchange, Inbox or Gmail for Google mail. Don't use the bad built in OEM email apps.

That's how it was on the S6, but the S7 only has the option for email.

I guess it depends on what type of email account you are using? I use an exchange account and have all 4 options.
On my Gmail account, I have 13 sync options for it.
I just added one of my IMAP accounts and only have the Email Sync option for it like in your screenshot. But for that account, that is all it should have as there is no Calendar, Contacts, or Tasks associated with it.

VERY weird. So i decided, based on your photo showing it under "Exchange Account" rather than "Email" that i would remove the account under email and add it via Accounts instead of the Email app. This worked. Not sure why adding it via the Email app resulted in the issue - oh well, all fixed!
I like the stock app, but not having the ability to move an email from the deleted folder back to the inbox has me searching for another app.
ETA: I changed the setup of my email account from Pop to IMAP and I now have the option to move an email from Trash to another folder. Feel like an idiot for not trying that before now.
I also use the stock app. when I moved from Note 3 to S7 Edge, I couldn't find the auto advance option, which takes me to the next email after deleting the current one. I miss this feature.
