This really isn't for me but a customer of mine. He just recently purchased the dash and was trying to set up 3 gmail accounts on it. He had someone else set up two of his accounts and they are working fine. He came to me to set up his 3rd account when tech support couldn't get it. Everything is set up right but whenever you hit send receive it tries to log in and then pops up with the username and password. So I delete all his gmail accounts on his phone and started with the one we couldn't get to work. First time it worked right away, so I tried to put the other two back on. It seems what is happening is whatever the 3rd gmail I try to put on there won't work.
So does anyone know of a glitch that 3 gmail account will not work on the same phone?
Recently Gmail asked for the username/pass on my Mac too. It's a Gmail bug, not the Dash.

Hi guys,
Just need a bit of help as Im having a few problems setting up my gmail accounts.
I set up a gmail account when I first got the fone and everything worked fine. Now its stopped downloading my mail...
Ive checked my settings with the ones on the gmail website and deleted and resetup the account but to no avail.
When I force the account to receive mail (and even when I dont) it goes through the motions and connects to my account, downloading headers etc but its as though there is nothing residing on the server. Ive checked if Ive deselected the option to leave mail on the gmail server after viewing it on my pc but it seams fine.
I can send mail.
Help!
Im a bit thick in all honesty and could be missing something obvious but now its a case of not seeing the wood for the trees.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Damian.
Set it up as IMAP. You can find help for that from gmail help.
then it works
imap.gmail.com
imap4
smtp.gmail.com
make sure you use those settings
Still no joy with this, gonna go through the settings again but Im stumped as to why its not working anymore.
Could be there's a very large message in the inbox that's blocking the download. The HD won't download large files unless you tell it to.
gmail uses pop not imap?I had same problem but solved it by going into gmail account settings and enabling pop3
I've upgraded my account to Gmail and now need to change the phone as it's not receiving emails due to being set to my old googlemail.com domain. Is there any way of doing this without having to hard reset the unit?
I know I can add it as a 2nd account but that doesn't allow calender sync and I wanna clean phone...
Hard reset only at them moment, annoyingly enough.
my girlfriends hero has the same issue. it has android 1.5 and she wont let me flash a new rom on it so she is getting annoyed with it because of this gmail/googlemail fiasco. Nevermind, il just say sorry it needs a new rom...
couldn't you simply remove the accounts and readd?
can't be done due to embedded linked data - I just reset the phone and set it up again (which I'll do again tonight once I've baked an MCRr2+App2SD)
Just change your account back to @googlemail.com if you can't be arsed with a reset. You only gain Picasa sync anyway.
I wanted the gmail.com as it's quicker to type! I'm lazy!
Even if you are officially @googlemail you should be able to use @gmail in all incoming and outgoing mail - works for me
Correctamundo.
I do the same thing, my account is officially google
mail
But if I use gmail instead I still receive and send all my emails.

And if you change to gmail.com, googlemail.com will continue to work too.
I cannot be bothered. I use googlemail.com for entering credentials I don't need to enter again (such as e-mail), after all it's the actual username and gmail.com for logging into forums/giving out to friends etc...
Despite resetting my account to @googlemail and doing a factory reset on the phone, I discover today that both online and on the phone I am @gmail - without a word from Google!
Cunning little devils - makes you wonder what else they are doing with our phones that we don't know about?
I found that you often had to make the account switch a couple of times for it to actually register.
easily done in android 2+ but 1.5 i cant seem to find a way of removing/readding accounts.
nevermind.... its strange that it stopped working even though both gmail and googlemail work regardless...
Does anyone know how to delete an e-mail account that is displayed but doesn't really exist...I'll explain...I have a gmail account that worked fine and one day it just stopped getting e-mails (to the phone). When I went to delete it off my phone it basically told me I have no e-mail account yet when I go to the email tab I can see it. When I try to click inbox it just brings me to the accounts screen, and it does NOT display it. So I had to set up another link on my phone to my gmail account. Now it displays two accounts, one that I can't access and can't delete, and another perfectly working one. Is there anyway I can get rid of it?
I ran the Unread Fix count script and it goes through BOTH email accounts yet my phone doesn't seem to think there is two, it just decides to display two.
This happened to me as well... If I remember correctly what I did to get rid of the ghost account was to create a temporary email account that was not gmail (i just gave fake credentials)... then I reset my device, deleted both gmail accounts, then reset phone again, deleted fake account and finally added credentials for the gmail account that had been giviing me probs. Not sure how important resetting device is, I suspect that the key was adding a non-gmail account. I hope this helps and sorry if my explanation isnt clear... I am still waking up! Good luck.
OK so I'm having some odd problems after I flashed the Gingersense ROM. Right after I flashed the ROM the add email account screen was missing all of the standard options I had seen before. So, I restored the data to the mail app using Titanium Backup. That worked for a little while. Then I needed to change my email password.
When I tried to go in and change my Yahoo password, it said it failed to communicate with the server. When I tried to delete the account I keep getting the same error. 504 0:null
Anyone have any idea what that means? Can I somehow reinstall the mail app? will that help or should I try reflashing the ROM?
And before anyone pokes fun at a person still using Yahoo, I've had that account for a lot longer than gmail has even existed.
Edit: Just did a nondroid backup to the original froyo, still broken!
As an additional piece of info, I keep getting emails from [email protected] saying that my account "could not be authenticated" though those are the only emails coming in to that account
In case anyone runs into the same problem, I thought I would post how I finally got it at least halfway back to normal.
I ended up having to run the factory reset, which wiped out all of the accounts that synced to my phone.
After running the setup and tying my google account back to my phone, the gmail account never showed up in my email.
It still won't let me setup an email using the quick account type shortcuts, only with the POP/IMAP shortcut. I was able to get both my yahoo and my gmail back up and working, though I am missing the nice little icons for the accounts I had seen previously.

Oh and in the process I also somehow lost the desktop dock app.

I have a wierd issue - my corporate email is stuck getting emails upto a 1 week ago but not after that. SEndign email works fine
Anybody seen this? I even removed the entire account, rebooted, reset the account and it again downloads all email till a week ago and nothing after that
Thanks
What's your back end email server? I've been having various issues with corporate email. My company is using an old GroupWise system with some type of mailsync that allows us to connect using the Exchange protocol.
I've had issues where it works great, but doesn't download the amount of email I've asked it to sync (30days), but instead will download just a week, or two weeks. I've also had issues where it works great for a week or so, then starts chewing up battery life trying to sync constantly. Rebooting doesn't work. I have to reboot, remove account, reboot again, and re-add the account.
I initially thought it was our servers...
