If you only use gmail, then use the gmail app. Email is for other email providers. And of course if you want to use gmail with the email app you can, but why would anyone want to?

Because the gmail app kind off sucks. So does the mail app actually. WTB combined inbox.

I use gmail app with "save my attach" from the market. It allows me to save attachments to SD.
Love it.

I need to add school email in CM6.

I need to add my email address for my college in CM6 but there isn't an option to do so. I can set it up OWA method but I don't have the options.
I go to Settings, Accounts & Sync, Add account and only see:
Twitter, Exchange, Facebook, Google. Where did the option for "Other" go? Any workaround?

Have you tried k-9 mail app for non gmail accounts? Avail in the marketplace!

Set it up under exchange then for the server use the link you go to to access the email ( without things that come after the / if there is one) and for the domain put the schools website

The domain would be the website I go to check my email correct? I don't think it's the school website.

the domain would most likely be the suffix of your email address.
it is possible that you login with a domain name other than the email suffix. however, if you're looking for the 'other' to set it up, then i'm pretty sure you already have the domain, user, server, etc.
email: [email protected]
domain = mydomain
server = email.mydomain.com
credentials: mydomain\me or it might be mydomain/me /shrug

Thanks I got it to work

Does K-9 have push mail?

You can read the description in the Market. Setting it up exchange worked fine for me as long as you know your login information and the school website.

Erasing overloaded email?

My email has way to much saved data on my phone. Its the email app, and it causing my internal storage to get low. I checked out app size and the cache is huge, is there a easier way to delete old mail thats saved in the email app? Im using cm7.

are you using a gmail account with your built-in email app?

Yeah i am. I dont need both right?

No, use the Gmail app for Gmail, use the Email app for all other acounts (like exchange/work accounts).

Thanks

the reason for this is bc the gmail app pulls it from google's servers, doesn't actually save the email on your phone, just lets you look at it

I'm not sure about CM7 but I use Touchdown for exchange email. My email sync is set 2 weeks so it doesnt use up space. I think with the built in app you can do the same.

Can't Send Pics/Attachments?

What am I missing, is there a setting on the device that I should have cuz I never had this issue at all with my Incredible S and I love this Samsung so not complaining about the phone itself just the sending the pics? Or is it because they have to be named .JPEG or something instead of .jpg, just wondering?

How are you trying to send them? What are you using?

Just through my hotmail account like I've always have?
Sent from my SGH-T989D using xda premium

I don't use hotmail so I don't know if that could be the problem. I just longpress on the pic. Choose share when the menu comes up and select Gmail. Sends with no problem.

[Q] What mail app do you use? Mail, Gmail or other?

Hey guys,
I was really wondering.. What mail app do you use?
I previously always used the Gmail app, but since I got my HoX 3 months ago I only use the mail app, because of a better ui and usability, imho.
Do you use Gmail, Mail or an other app for your mail services? Tell us and discuss why!

For my gmail account I use gmail. For my work exchange account I use HTC's Mail app. I like them both and have never tried another mail app (don't like the idea of entering my account info in a third party app).

For Gmail I use the native app.
For my personal email, I used to use K9-Mail but have now switched to MailDroid.
