I use my email address as my aim address; which means that my email address is also my gtalk. so I noticed now with the integration of AIM and gtalk; all of my aim contacts are syncing over to gtalk.
Has anyone else noticed this, or a way to stop it?
There is a setting in Gmail to connect AIM to GTalk. Uncheck that and you should be good.
That's the weird part, I'm not signed in to AIM through gmail. All of my contacts that are through AIM are now in my other contacts; each with @aol.com.
I delete them, but it will go through the process again of asking for me that [email protected] wants to chat, deny or authorize.

Hi,
I want to connect to my work Exchange server. However, the option for Exchange is missing in the ROM. From the email setup, Pick your provider, I get Internet e-mail or Custom Domain.
There should be one for Exchange server there, but there isn't.
Can anyone help to get this option back?
Cheers

Hi,
Surely someone must have an answer for Exchange support?
Set it up via the ActiveSync app on your phone, not the email setup.
Cool,
Thanks. I'll try that. Just reflashing at the moment...
Works For Me
If you go into the activesync program, select menu, then select "Configure Server" you can setup your exchange server through there, works great for me, constantly synced.

Does this push your calendar to your dash as well as the email? I just purchased the G1, didn't even have it 24 hours. It certainly has some shortcomings but I was enjoying the calendar and email sync from google. Got back to my office and I was moved to the exchange server and of course no support on the android. I really like a lot of the features of my dash, but never had exchange before. I guess I am going back to it but wonder if my calendar and emails will be synced?
Yes they will. That's the whole point of a mail server like.. exchange. To sync your email !!
Yes, it does calendar too
I can confirm that the ActiveSync Exchange configuration works on the Kavana and Ricky ROMs. Not only emails, but also personal calendar items sync. Group calendar entries, however, do not sync. THIS IS NOT specific to Kavana/Ricky ROMs. It's just a feature that Microsoft left out of ActiveSync in Windows Mobile all the way up to v6.1. You should warn your Exchange support people that they should discourage group calendar use, as Microsoft incompletely implemented it. Instead, people should use the traditional invite/response system that puts calendar entries in the personal store when they are accepted.
I hear that there are third party agents that run on the Exchange server and, basically, copy group invites into all of the group members' personal stores so that ActiveSync syncs them, so if your office insists on using group calendars then they should look for one of those server add-ons.

Ok - I've finally got my email on my phone synced to googlemail, which in turn is synced to yahoo which was may bread and butter email client until I got this phone.
So - question is, why is my googlemail not showing any of today's emails, and yet I have already recieved about ten emails in my yahoo account?
Any ideas?
If you have asked google to transfer your emails from yahoo to google, it will not do it immediately.
Google will poll yahoo occasionally to collect emails, and then notify you about them all in one go.
You need to let all your contacts know your new google address as this will bring you notifications immediately. Also, google wont poll your yahoo address indefinitely , so at some point in the future, you will only be notified about new google emails and not new yahoo ones.

Seriously? What is the point in that? I would hardly call that syncing acounts, is it? So, if I want to continue using my phone with email, I essentially need to cancel my yahoo mail account that I've been using for over 10 years?
Is there a messaging client with contact syncing? Right now the chat data in contacts (AOSP/CM) doesn't do anything, they're just there. I'd like to be able to click on a contact and initialize a chat with them straight from there. All it would take is a client that does contact syncing but I'm not sure if their is even one.
so i have multiple emails. One is google but the other 2 are POP/IMAP accounts for work/school. in wp7 and iOS, there are options for a unified inbox (linked account in wp7) that displays all of your emails together. on my old android phone, i had to use a separate application to view my POP/IMAP accounts, and then switch back over into gmail to view my gmail stuff.
is there a unified/linked inbox in android 4.0? if so, how does it work and can someone post some photos?
and before anyone says "just add your IMAP account into gmail", i'm well aware of this function but sometimes its better to leave your work/school and private emails separate.
"sometimes its better to leave your work/school and private emails separate"
Then just use the Gmail app for your personal email and the Email app for the other accounts.
To answer your question, no I don't believe there is a unified inbox in ICS.
Sadly, that is why so many opt for 3rd party mail clients, I want a single inbox to manage my mail.
You could connect to your gmail account over imap, which would give you a unified inbox. It's just not quote as polished as the dedicated gmail client.
So, I'm running the Gmail app and it works fine for my Gmail accounts. Additionally I was able to get one of my Gmail accounts to sync contacts with my phone (by adding it as an account), but then the phone keeps showing me the email even though I don't want to see it. Then I added my Yahoo account to the native Email app and the darn phone added all of those contacts as well. I disabled Contacts Sync, but the "Yahoo" contacts are all still there.. The Yahoo account contacts are a mess and I really don't want to sort them out or delete them. To be honest, here is what I want this phone to do (which is what my last Android did easily):
1) Sync my contacts from a specific Google account. Just my contacts, not my email and not my calendar.
2) Sync my email from a specific Yahoo account. Just my email, not my contacts and not my calendar.
I know there is an option that should allow me to achieve #2, but that option ain't working. Its seems to me that there are no options to support #1. I think that the only way to achieve #1 is to configure my Yahoo through another email app.
Please share any thoughts on how I can configure #1 and #2 successfully.
