Gmail not showing in Add Accounts (Accounts&Sync) - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Gmail does not show up on my Accounts&Sync add accounts page. Does anyone know what steps I should take? I have the app installed and i can force it to sync through the app, but the app does not appear in accounts&sync.
Further more I'm running CM7.1RC, and have flashed the latest gapps. I've also re-installed the gmail app via market to no avail.
Thanks,
D

You should find "Google" there. Just sync to it and you should be fine.
That's how it goes on ARHD 6.1.1 atleast.

Unfortunately that does not allow either the gmail or email app to sync mail automatically.

Do a full wipe and re-flash. If you're also having sync problems with the email app then its not a Gmail problem. Before you do that, make sure that under Accounts & sync>Google the Gmail check mark is selected.

Thanks, checking gmail under my Google account did the trick!

if you mount the MIUI from what I know you have to install the GAPP to the party or I'll do this joke

Mail versus GMail

I want to try using the Mail app instead of the GMail one, but is it actually possible to disable the GMail app without losing all the other functionality you get from logging into your Google account? - there seems to be a unified log in used by GMaps as well, for example. And when I try to remove the account in settings, it says I have to do a factory reset, this seems bonkers to me.
I couldn't manage to get my Google Mail account to sign into the Mail app...

Turn off sync for Gmail under Settings->Accounts & sync.
You might also want to switch of notifications in the Gmail app too.

Will the phone sync google mail contacts via imap on the mail app or do I need to stick to the gmail app for that?

I think you must have a different version from mine. I have
Settings - Accounts& Sync
Background Data (tickbox)
AutoSync (tickbox)
Manage Accounts
Google
Stocks
Weather
If I tick Google I get a new screen:
Sync calendar
Sync contacts
Sync Google Mail
Sync Picassa Web Albums
(These all just trigger a sync)
At the bottom there are 2 buttons, Sync Now and Remove Account.
If I try remove account a box pops up warning that it will delete all the data, I say OK, then another box that says it can't do it, I have to factory reset because it is required by some applications.
I have been using the Google Mail app since I've had my phone, but today came across a problem - I could not copy & paste a tracking # from an email. I then quickly set up my gmail in the Mail app, & was able to perform this action very easily.
So my question is: has anyone used both apps extensively, & could they give me a quick "pro's & cons"?

Here you go someone has already done that:

The only thing that really annoys me is the fact that your Mail widget does not update the list of emails unless you open the Mail application.
Even if you already updated the email list in your GMail appl.
For example: I receive an email. I get a notification in the notification bar. I open it and it takes me to the Gmail appl (by default). I check my emails, read them, exit the application.
However, my HTCMail Widget (sitting on the desktop) does not show any updates. I have to open the HTCMail manually, sync (again!) and only then can I see the updated list.
Aaaargh!
I've been tempted to move to using the mail application over the gmail one as well.
I think ill setup the mail application with my other gmail account then compare the 2
I much prefer the gmail app. I think its quicker and easier to reply, and it syncs straight away unlike the mail app.
Only downside is the lack of widget, but with the number of apps I have on my homescreens, this isn't an issue.
I always feel it's worth mentioning k9mail at this point, if only because it supports IMAP IDLE.

[Q] Gmail/Email update issue

Have you checked Menu|Settings|Accounts & Sync? Are they set to automatically sync? I remember on my Eris, when I'd flash a new ROM, there were times when the gmail sync mysteriously was not set to sync my gmail automatically. So now I always check

THanks for the reply... Yes, everything is set to automatically sync. BTW, this is on a stock unrooted incredible 2
Have you tried clearing the cache in each of the apps? I know sometimes this will clear up these kind of problems. Also might try to restart/reboot your phone.

[Q] gmail calendar won't sync

on my Optimus G in Calendar/settings/accounts when I go to my gmail account the top of the screen has a message "This account is not being synced..." How can I make this happen? I read a suggestion to delete the information in the calendar and let it re-sync, but I don't know how to delete the calendar info. I've gone into gmail calendars on my pc and things seem ok there??? Is there another way to enable the sync?

If you have calendar synced (will delete local data): Go to system settings and apps. Click the all tab. Scroll down and find calendar storage clear data and force close. Check calendar/syncing.

unfortunately neither suggestion worked. When I go to the Account & Sync page, Gmail is not listed. I would have expected that. Is this the problem? How do I add Gmail to the sync, or Gmail calendars. My Gmail account actually syncs and pushed mail.
Weird... Gmail should be added to Accounts & Sync when Gmail is installed. I would try uninstalling Gmail entirely and reinstalling.
As for Calendar... as stated above, System Settings>Apps and clear Data on Calendar Storage. This fixed syncing errors for me.
Also, try going into Settings within the Calendar app itself. There you can select which calendars to sync. Maybe all are deselected, so that is the reason for it saying that in Accounts & Sync?

Facebook events not syncing with calendar.

My Facebook events speed syncing with the stock calendar and I cannot figure out how to get it back. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and checked all the settings is anyone else having this issue? What am I missing?
If you haven't already try going to settings and under accounts and sync make sure Facebook is checked along with calendar with Facebook.

When I go to the sync option in the Facebook account settings it only had an option for contacts and says last synced date and time.
Then you can't sync calendar if its not an option. Has it ever worked before?

It did, it was great. Everything showed up on the widget too.
Maybe its an app issue with a recent update. Maybe the devs for the app can help you. [email protected]
Are you on a tablet ROM? For whatever reason, when I ran a multi dpi ROM in tablet mode, the FB didn't sync my calendar. There was no option for it. I didn't run the ROM all that long, never found a solution.

Stock email app

Hi all,
Has anyone noticed the stock email app puts deleted mails into the "important" folder instead of the bin in the Gmail account? Don't know if it's just me, my account or my phone.

Tried changing settings inside Google account online, hunted through Google search for a reason, cleared cache and data but no joy. It doesn't put all deleted mail in important, just odd one or two but after a while I ended up with a right abundance of crap in there.

The Gmail app and the stock email app both behave the same, so it can't be the actual client, it must be the way Google handles some particular email. My yahoo account works fine in both client apps
