I have a really really awesome answer for you.
Don't setup your email anymore, just go here:
http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138636
This will setup an Exchange-like server and will enable you to do that. At least I am pretty sure that isn't what you are already doing, because this will setup the email and sync Calendar, Contacts and Email with PUSH. Let me know if you need any help.
I dont think you understood the problem, but thanks for reading and suggesting something.
Part of the issue is resolved. We can now add to the calendar and it sends the email to those attendee's we add to that event, thru our gmail accounts. How i fixed that was going into the office folder and using the calendar link in there. In menu/tool/options, appointments page, there is a "send meeting requests via: (email account)". I just changed it from outlook email to our gmail account. So now it sends them out with the gmail account rather than sitting in the outlook outbox.
THE NEXT ISSUE is that when anyone sends you a meeting request, from outlook(pc) OR from the phones calendar thru gmail, if you recieve that request on the phone, there are no buttons to "accept/tentative/decline/propose new time", like there is in outlook pc. It just comes in as a regular email that looks very useless. The only way to accept or decline is to read the email in outlook on the pc where you have buttons "accept/tentative/decline/propose new time".

Actually, I did understand the issue.
You aren't setting the email up correctly. If it is showing up as Gmail, and not Outlook it isn't setup for Exchange. You need to remove that account and follow my link to setup Exchange features...
Im not following you on this exchange stuff. What does an exchange have to do with poutlook not showing an email with the same options as outlook on the pc?
ok i just set this up on phone. active sync on phone says attention required.
result: the config on your exchange server prevents you from sync'ing. please contact your serv admin.
BUT getting and sending email is working right. Syncing is working for email.
Creating a calendar event and adding attenees is not working at all now. The emails never go out. Sending an event to myself from my wifes phone somes into the phone the (no good). But comes into my outlook pc correctly
Setting up sync has its own issues. I sent an event from my phone to my wifes phone. Oh joy, i get an html page i can accept with on her imap email.
I accepted it on the wifes phone and it NEVER went onto her calendar on the phone. Which leads me to beleive she must have sync setup too. What a joke!!!!!
It would be so much easier if google mail would include the MS office option buttons for reading and responding to event emails.
Not only that, but now i have to create events either on the phone, or in google cal. I can not setup events in outlook and have them all sync UNLESS i pay and use google apps.
Google has a big problem with MS. If i send an event to a google account, if i read that event email in gmail, its also striped of any way to open or respond.
The way this works best if WANTING to use gmail and outlook, while still wanting to use outlook for events cal, is to only reply, respond or accept events within outlook on the pc.

You have to ONLY select Contacts, Calendar and Mail. Try that and let me know if you still get that Att Required... Also, if all else fails I can give you my email and we can test it that way.
I'm using CyanogenMod 7.1.0-RC1-buzz. i use an Exchange email/account for my work and gmail for personal. I can see fine the Gmail side of things but the Exchange calendar doesn't show up in the settings so I can't see any events from that account. Also in the Account & sync settings it does not display my exchange account under Manage accounts.
Anyone help me out?

Maybe I can help.
From your PC or normal internet you need to log into your Google account and link your exchange Calender etc etc to your Google account and then from your phone you will be able to choose which accounts to sync/show. I can't give great detail as it was a long time ago I had to do this but for Facebook Calender sync so can't recall exactly what the process is. Hope it helps though? Regards Slymobi.

Thanks for the tip, but that method I'll have to export my Exchange cal and then import it into Gmail - that way I won't be able to edit my events with have to redo the export from exchange etc etc.
Cheers anyway

Text messages are being delivered as emails in my work email account. I get them fine as regular texts but they are duplicated in email form.
How did this happen? Can I prevent it?
Thanks
it's because when you setup your exchange account you left everything as default and one of the sync options is SMS. go back into the email account settings and uncheck Sync SMS
Thank you. That did it

I have a google apps email id from work. When i configure this id using the Corporate account (Exchange) option in accounts and sync (not as the GMail option), all messages and contacts get synced properly. But when i open any email i just get to see the sender the address list and the email subject. The actual email text in the mail does not get displayed.
Anyone faced this issue and got a way around it. I know i can configure the GMail app for this mail id, but wanted to make sure the native email app works since i have a couple of gmail ids already configured in the GMail app and do not want to mix this with other id's and miss my work mails.
no one with a reply ??
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.
