how can I set up the htc mail app to work with gmail as it only gives me the option for imap or other ???
Why would you want to do that? You can add more than one Google Mail account to Google Mail app.
Unless you're after nice HTC Mail widget...

I was hoping too but not to worry
Under imap just put your gmail address and pass. And you are set...

So it seems like most of the sense (which i LOVE so far) widgets and programs seem to only integrate with the email app not really the gmail.. which is what i use primarily...
Is there any way to change this that i am not seeing??
TIA
Well you could setup GMail for POP or IMAP access and use the built-in HTC mail client, but I don't know of any GMail specific Sense app.
If you want to use the Sense mail widgets you will gave to set up your Gmail account as an Exchange account in the HTC mail app. Using it as an Exchange account will allow you to still get push email; Google has instructions on how to do this, just...well, Google it
I am thinking that since the Desire and Evo are sort of the same, could you just set up your Gmail account through the "Accout & Sync" setting?
This is what I did and I get PUSH notifications

Hmmm.. I thought about that, but really need the push mail not just pop for every 15 min or so.

When you set it up through there, i am assuming it is going to your gmail app, not the "mail" app in which case you would get push notifications, but it wouldnt work through the sense widgets and apps (just the default android gmail app)... IMO

Another Sense Question..
Also.. here is another "sense" question for someone...
I have contacts in my phone and they are "linked" with contacts from facebook... BUT the information from facebook doesnt sync with my gmail contacts. Is there a setting that i am not seeing that will do this?
For example, in a contact, i see that their birthday was pulled from facebook, and i can view it when viewing the contact card, but not when i go to the contact section on the web when looking at gmail....
I would like to get with a Sense UI ROM the ability to view in the HTC mail widget all the inboxes.
How it could be done?
Also does the Mail app from Froyo support multiple exchange accounts under a Sense UI rom?
Thanks for your input!

no it cant be done, you have to switch mail accounts from you inbox, you cant view all mail accounts in one inbox, also yes it does support multiple exchange accounts
Hi all,
I've been using Business Calendar for a while. It synchronises my gmail calendar and also my facebook events/birthdays. This is really useful because I don't need to put an event into my calendar after I've already accepted it.
Since switching to a custom ROM (JellyTime), Business Calendar does not seem to recognise my facebook account on the phone so I cannot get it to synchronise the facebook events. The instructions say that it should recognise any calendars on your phone but that does not happen.
Does anyone know how to get facebook events to synchronise with the calendar?
Thanks.
Any thoughts from anyone? Alternatively, does anyone know if you can get the Google calendar to sync with Facebook events?
Thanks.
Sent from my portable telephone.
From Facebook you can export events and birthdays as calendar links that can then be added to your Google calendar. They will then appear as additional calendars on your phone.
I forget exactly how to do it in Facebook, but I think you go to events, click on settings, and then you have the export option. Google it for more details.
Good luck!

Thanks Zamula - your way worked! Just one point of clarification, rather than exporting, you need to right click on the link and copy the address. You can then add it as a Google calendar under Other Calendars. In Business Calendar you can then add the calendars (1 for birthdays, 1 for events) to synchronise them. So far so good, the last thing is whether the calendars auto update. I'll be able to tell that when I'm invited to a new event!
I use my phone a lot for work, and just wondering what the best 4x4 widget/app is for organising my appointments/meetings etc?
I'd like something that will Sync with Outlook Calendar on my work emails as well as allowing me to input meetings/appointments in my phone. I would also like something that will allow me to have some sort of 'to-do list'.
Thanks a lot!!
I use an app called
gsyncit it is not free (but not expensive) but I manage to sync Calendar Contacts and Tasks NOT emails
