Has anyone tried setting up any Android phone with a Google Apps hosted domain account instead of a gmail.com account? Is it even possible, and would you get push e-mail?
Could just try with my G1, but it'd require a wipe and setting up, and I'm kinda tied up at work at the moment. If someone else has done it, let me know please.
It worked for me. I have both my gmail and my domain email hosted by google pushed to my phone. The gmail app can support multiple gmail accounts
Awesome - mind if I ask how you added the second e-mail address to the GMail app? That's what I was trying to find, and couldn't figure it out.

in gmail app, hit menu > accounts > add account button
i dont have a gmail hosted address that doesn't have @gmail.com to test it but that is how you add second gmail account
This is correct and works for me with @somethingelse. The first account is the default however and is the one that other item sync with. To change the default you have to reset.

Is there anyway I can the HTC email widget to display my googlemail account as I've been trying to set it up bit without success?
I couldn't use theHTC mail widget for gmail either. I could setup hotmail no problem. Is it possible that gmail must be used through the gmail app only?
Looks like which is a shame as I prefer the HTC email layout
add account (active sync)
email address - enter your full email address (eg. [email protected])
server address "m.google.com"
domain - leave blank
username - enter your full email address (eg. [email protected])
password - your password
select SSL
hope this helps
it is possible to use the HTC widget for gmail yea.
First you have to go into gmail on your pc then settings (top right)
Then choose "Forwarding and POP/IMAP"
Then choose "Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded)" or "Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on" deppending on what you want.
Then hit "save changes" at the bottom of the page.
now on the desire:
put the widget down.
choose to manually enter settings.
All default settings should be fine, just enter your gmail user and pass.
Then all should be good =]
I've tried both comments above, I get to the screen asking what data I want to sync but when i click finish setup, I just get an error message saying failed to create the account, pls try again later

You want the pop3 option on your phone, not the activesync one. Just put in your google username/password. Make sure you have a data connection to the internet (3g/wifi).
I suggest using IMAP. Add the mail widget to one of the homescreens then tap to make an account. Choose pop/IMAP and you want IMAP.
Then add in your gmail (googlemail email and password. Make sure you are connected via wifi or your mobile connection and you should be all set....

Well, i said pop3 but yes, it's techinically the Other(pop3/imap) option. If you are setting up gmail then you don't have to choose manual, and therefore you don't actually select either pop3/imap, just enter your username and password...
Nope, neither of these work either
Try putting in "googlemail" instead of "gmail" where your email address and username goes.
That seemed to solve my problem.
I was putting googlemail but tried gmail and all working ok now so cheers

no problem. strange that some people need to use gmail and others need to use googlemail to get this to work
Gmail IMAP working like a charm for me.
Thinkin may stick to the gmail app now though as tend to get notified of new emails quicker then the HTC widget.
I have one gmail account through the gmail app and another gmail account through the HTC mail via ActiveSync. both push through as fast as each other imo.

Hey All,
Had the desire for a couple of weeks now and I must say I'm impressed with it, as most of you are as well.
I've come across the following very irritating problem though:
My primary e-mail address is hotmail. Been using it for years and years and I've never had the need to change to gmail. Having switched to android now I understand that I can't sync the phone to hotmail. I have it working on pop which is 'fine' but I want proper syncing of mail and calendars which is not supported.
Fair enough, I thought this was the time I'm supposed to switch to gmail. When I booted the phone up for the first time I was asked for a gmail account for google maps, etc. and I just used one I had created a while back. Now that I'm looking to migrate to gmail completely in order to benefit from syncing, etc. I want to change this e-mail address to another gmail one.
Has anyone managed to do this without doing a factory reset on the desire??
I've tried:
i. Changing the gmail password from a pc and rebooting the phone - it just says it failed to sign in and prompts for the new password, won't let you change e-mail address though.
ii. Clearing all cache's from google related application - gtalk, gmail, maps, gapps, etc. - This doesn't work either as somehow the account information is still held.
iii. Creating a secondary e-mail address and try get everything to use it instead then remove the primary one - didn't manage either. I changed google maps, gmail and the calendar app to use the new e-mail address but it still won't let me delete the other one as it says it's being used by some other app!
Any help would be much appreciated... I really don't feel like going through a factory reset and installing everything again!
Thanks!
Go to "Menu" - "Settings" - "Accounts & Sync", tap on the Google account en tap on "Remove account". (Go back to all accounts and you can add a new Google account.)

On this subject, my advice to anyone is to get their own domain name and then use Google Apps for Domains.
At present this is what I do for my email, but if in a few years time something better than Gmail comes along, chances are I can repoint my domain to a new mail service and thus keep my email address in perpetuity.
Regards,
Dave

Forgot to mention I tried this as well but it won't let me remove it as it says the account is being used by some application
Really frustrating!
I got this same problem as this old post, but can not find the solution....does anyone know the answer as time has moved on and maybe it is an available solution.
My issue is that I just flashed LeeDrOid 2.3b&c to my Desire. I entered my HOTMAIL e-mail details as the first address at the set up prompt. Now i can not findout how to delete that account.
It seems that the whole Android E-mail setup and operation is not really as good as Windows Mobile! or its operator error ;-)
For my Sync'd HOTMAIL I'm currently using TouchDown and set the server name to 'm.hotmail.com' this thirdparty software allows full syncronisation to my Hotmail account both ways including any folders that i choose, apart from the deleted bin on my Webmail does not get emptied if i delete all from the TouchDown application on my Desire.
On my Gmail i have created my account in the Exchange option and used m.gmail.com for the server, whilst this gives me a view of all the account folders all of them show "no mail" even though i have set the Receive days to 30 days and know that I have e-mails in the folders that are newer than 30 days old.
I really would like a fully operational integrated IMAP set up for both my Gmail accounts (i have 2 account) and one HOTMAIL account, ideally using the built in Gmail and "standard Mail" programs that come with FROYO Sense.
So anyone know the answer to achieving this?
i) How to delete my original Hotmail account entered on start up of my new ROM.
ii) Is it possible to set up withing the Sense builtin applications for Exchange Gmail and also for Exchange Hotmail so that i can do away with hte TouchDown application?
Thanx for any assistance on this.
I have two gmail accounts setup on my phone. Before the Froyo update, I would get instant new email notifications on both of my accounts. Ever since I updated to the Froyo final build, I only get new mail notification on my first account. The other one doesn't sync. Both of the accounts are setup to sync under the Settings->Accounts&Sync menu. Any ideas?
I have this exact problem. Help me please.
I have this problem too and it is frustrating!
On my phone I only have one gmail account set up as the official Google account. I then set up my other gmail accounts under the mail program including my primary gmail account. I disabled the syncing of my Google account and access all of my email through the mail program. I do this because I hate the gmail program and all of my gmail and yahoo accounts sync without problem.

I prefer the GMAIL app over the mail app because I am not the most techincally advanced person in the world and GMAIL easier to use in my opinion. I don't know how to make the mail app sync right when the email comes in like in GMAIL (went through the menu and did not find the option). Thanks for the suggestion it is really appreciated.
Some how i got mine working.
Delete the account
Re-add. It will say this account is not sync'ed (do not press menu and do the one time sync)
Now go to the home screen, menu, settings, accounts and sync. Click on the account and hit "snyc now" a few times.
Reboot the phone
Once back on go back to accounts & sync. Open the gmail account. You should now have the sync mail option.
Check the box, it should then sync
Ahould be good to go
This is exactly what i did and its working like it use to on 2.1

I am using K-9 Mail to view all my mail. Great app, integrated inbox to view mail from all accounts at once, can set a color for each account, different notification for each account, very customizable.
Any word on this problem? Just flashed Froyo today and it's bugging me.
I've been having this issue, but I've been on Froyo for a while, I think there is a problem on the server side of things that its not pushing the mail to the phone. I've been posting to a Google help ticket and they said that they're aware that mail is not being pushed to some handsets and they are working on a solution.

Hi, I'm trying to setup a new email account and think there may be a bug.
I'm trying to setup a gmail.com account but I want to set the smtp settings to use my pobox.com account so that I receive email through gmail and send through pobox.
I use the wizard which you are presented with when you choose New Account. I choose gmail which fills in the gmail pop settings for you but on the smtp screen I change to my pobox.com settings and continue through successfully.
The problem is when I go back into the smtp settings for that account, the username and password has defaulted back to that for the gmail account which obviously wont work on pobox.com!! When I try to send a mail, it is actually sent through the gmail account and not the pobox smtp even though the username and password have defaulted to the gmail settings but the smtp is what I originally left it at the pobox address
Is this a known bug? Has anyone encountered this before? Is there a fix?
Thanks
In which app you trying to add new account Gmail app or Mail app? If it's Mail app just fill your account details with gmail credentials and when account is added, edit outgoing settings. Also don't use the wizard, create it manually

I tried that unfortunately The trouble was that when I sent an email it looked as if it had been sent by the gmail account - the settings defaulted back to gmail. The settings will not save!!!
I am using mail app btw.
I have found seen other email clients which have identities so its a shame mail app does not have this feature.
I'm glad you find solution. Yes its real pity, mail app its good app
I have 3 calender accounts, 2 gmail and 1 yahoo. Is it possible to add a third account so the tab will sync with it also. I have the 2 gmails added to the Google account settings but can not find a way to add a third. I know it is possible to add yahoo because I had it installed on other tablet but I never had 3 in the Google setings. Is it possible?

You can actually use gmail email accounts to import emails from things like say yahoo so they all come to one email address if that makes sense, but otherwise its sacrifice time lol sorry...may i ask what is your intended use to have the 3 gmail accounts synced in your phone? Do u just want the emails themselves or all of googles services for all 3 if that makes sense.
I have a Yahoo account on my calander and does not sync.
