Hi everyone...
I have just moved to the G4 from the Samsung S5 and I have a couple of questions that I'm hoping someone can help me with.
First of all on the S5 I have an email app..but on the G4 I can only see Gmail...have I missed some thing?
Second...on the G4 when I'm writing a text or email the numbers are on the letters and can be reached by holding down a letter till the number comes up..is there anyway of getting them on a separate line
I would like to achieve this without rooting my phone..I appreciate the benefits of rooting a phone as I have previously rooted a couple of HTC phones..but at the moment I don't want to root my G4
Thanks for looking and any help is appreciated

On the email, if you want something other than the Ģmail app you'll have to install an email app from Play, there are many to choose from. I personally like [email protected] Mail Pro for my 5 email accounts.
You may also want to take a look at a different keyboard as there are tons of those also, many free.
You can use the Gmail app for other email accounts. As for keyboard look here I've just done it and it works

With Gmail app, all email accounts can be added in the setting if you swipe from the left. I used to have email app as a separate one as well in a Samsung smartphone. Actually I found it is convenient to manage multiple accounts in Gmail app.
The number and symbol can be accessed via the left bottom so called 'symbol key', hit it and you will get numbers in a separate line along with various symbols.
Thanks for all the replies...I'm going to give Gmail app a try..is there a way of removing Gmail from the app but still leave my Gmail account on the phone... basically I don't use Gmail for emails so there is no point in having it on the client..sorry to be awkward lol

Just go into Settings>Apps and disable it. It won't affect anything else. It's a system app and without rooting that will be the best way to hide it.

if gmail is the main one you used to sign your phone in, I assume you can go to gmail app setting and change the option for that account specifically to "don't sync email", then it won't bother you.

For those interested in original client available in "pure" Android 2.1 - here it is!
For me it's much more better than the HTC's one.
PS. God give us root to get rid of all that crappy HTC bloatware
What are the advantages of the original email app over HTC's version?
I like its look and feel,htc's one is too glossy.The same applies to music app.
Just try it yourself,it can be installed in parallel with htc one.

Is there anyway to get the app to delete the original emails off the server?
THANKS!!! it is awsome! Finnaly my emailsending works accross IMAP and TLS. With built in HTC email client it not works.
Np
As for deleting emails - don't know if you're talking about pop or imap. In imap you have to delete mail from trash to get rid of them.
Didn't tested this app with pop3, so don't know if tere is an option to "delete from server after download". But I think that there could be no such option to prevent user from mistakes.
But .... it's source is available via source.android.com... and it can be tuned, or feature can be requested.
Thanks, sorted my mail sending across SSL.
The stock HTC mail app is eating up the memory. After 3 days, I had 30 MB of mail data, and erasing all Accounts did not helped. The 30 MB was still there, so I had to make a Factory Reset. Thanks for this app!!
Thanks for this.
Does this app allow searching of emails, in particular Exchange?
I noticed, or haven't found, the search feature for the HTC Mail app :/
This works great on Legend, nice to see a bit of stock Eclair.

I would love to have this feature! I understand WinMob does this on exchange 2007...
I think I overlooked the obvious, pressing the search button!
Didn't give me results for my search, going to look into the number of emails the phone has access to, either copied to phone or on the server. I suspect the string I searched for was too far in the past.
[edit] Shame, only searches sender names and subject line :/
So, i installed this on my incredible and configured it to work with my office exchange account... set it up as push, and it never updated... went into the sync settings and it was in there, but was showing that it wasn't set to auto sync and i couldn't get it to sync from there.. originally when i first set it up, it was able to connect and download my past emails, but nothing after that.. I know i'm in the desire section of the site, so it may just be that ti's not gunna work on my Incredible right now, but i was wondering if root is required to use this?

don't know if i understood you correctly but i can search my exchange 2007 mail from my phone...

thanks alot, this is so much better than sense's version, actually so much stock android 2.2 stuff is better than sense i'm thinking of rooting for 2.2
This force closes when I have an email with an attachment in my inbox, really annoying.
Does it require root?
Does this application require root access or can I install it even if the phone is unrooted? Another question -- Does this get me the combined inbox?
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'll see what I can find then let you guys know.

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)
So I'm new having just moved to Android from WM, and have configured all my accounts on the phone (that's 7 email accounts under Accounts), now my problem is simple I see no way to actual see existing messages in the inbox's, when I get a mail it shows up in notifications, but other than the gmail accounts (all 5 of which are available from the gmail app if separately), getting to the yahoo, msn or aol accounts (mostly used of IM, but mail does go to them some times) is just not easy. I really expected more from Android when it comes to email accounts. I've seen programs like Enhanced Email or Pure Messenger in the market place, but before I went and sent money, I thought I'd ask if there was something I'm missing built in or free?
On the same note I'm finding the Widgets that are provided for Google voice, are ugly and others say for email are simply not present at all. All of this is making me miss my HTC Sense interface on WM. However there I'd expect solutions for all of these issue, which is what I'm looking for.
Thanks,

You'll find all your emails in the messaging app

I know the app you are suggesting, but so far it always says no emails, yet the gmail app shows well over a hundred, so as far as I can tell its not working, also like to crash on me, so I do not think it is a solution.
Thanks,
ERIC
You can try K9-Mail for an e-mail client. Works amazing for me.

have you configured the email accounts in their respective sections in MESSAGING app as has already been suggested? the app works fine here, so if you are having problems, factory reset and try again. i dont really understand what the problem is. your question originally was how to access them, then when told how to access them you say it's not working. if its not working, start there and figure out WHY its not working......THAT would be your problem, wouldnt it?
not trying to be hostile or funny here, but if you love HTC Sense, you do know there are plenty of androids running HTC sense right?
or you can wait for a HTC Sense ROM
I have five accounts running with no problem. Try a factory reset like someone else suggested.

By default its only set to sync the past 3 days of mail. Go into account settings from the messaging app and bump it up to 30 days. 30 days is the max which is a bummer. On my past win mobile you could tell it to sync all mail.

Hi
Is there a way to change the inbox color in froyo. I like iphone style inbox which is white bavkground and black font color. I'm on 2.2 and dont want to unlock bootloader
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Inbox? For text messages? For email? Download a new app with a UI you like better. Handcent is very customizable (for text). Gmail is white background with black text..
Thanks for replying. In fact I'm more interested in the email background. I dont want to spend money on email app as they are expensive and also dont have universal inbox feature or exchange calendar sync. I like the inbox background in iphone and dont want to switch back to iphone just for this reason. Hope someone on this forum will be able to help!
Yeah one more point i need email for corporate exchange so gmail doesnt help. Although, I'm looking for similar type of format.

If you're unwilling to unlock and you're unwilling to pay a small fee for an app, I really don't think there is anything else you can do. Perhaps there MIGHT be some way to do it via root, but I'm almost certain that your phone needs to be deodexed in order to edit.

Is there no way to change the background & text color by rooting?
Hi Folks,
This is my first time on the XDA Developers forum so go easy on me, i've had a look around but cannot seem to find any posts with this problem.
I have a nexus 4 and have set up my 3 email accounts on the stock email app. The checking frequency is set to 'never' on each account as i only check my email once every day or so and don't want any unnecessary data usage.
So my issue is that if i load the app into combined view, so all my email accounts show on the same screen, there is no option to sync all 3 accounts at the same time, i have to click into each account individually for the sync process to start, then go back into combined view to see all 3 accounts email on the one screen. I'm sure that can't be right as that seems to defeat the object of having the combined view if i have to click into each account to start the sync, i might as well view the accounts individually. I'm sure that on my old HTC One X on the HTC Mail app as soon as i launched the app the sync process started for all the accounts on the phone.
I have tried turning auto sync on in the 'data usage' menu but it doesn't make any difference.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
The thread subject is kind of misleading which makes it look like a bug but anyway.
This is normal and not really a bug at all what so ever, you can use a 3rd party app from the Play Store to do the job.
