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).

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.

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.
So, I use the "EMAIL" app to handle both my work exchange and gmail account. I like that it's combined. Can I delete the GMAIL app on the phone but still have it sync the gmail information (contacts, calendar) via the accounts menu? I'm trying to avoid having the gmail sync in two separate places.
Settings/accounts/gmail, uncheck gmail. Not sure if you have tried that already or not.

I thought about that but I was worried it not syncing the "EMAIL" box. I suppose it shouldn't affect it, as there are separate gmail sync settings in that menu. I'll try that.
I dont wanna try it but if i format system from CWM do i lose contacts/joined ?
You will lose your contacts (and all other data) if you format system. If they are backed up by google though, all you have to do is sync contacts when you sign in on your google account and they will come back.
Is a pain if u also have them saved to sim. Cuz it will double up contacts. Its tedious to do but worth every bit of the time invested in order to get a clean flash. It just how I do it. Just my opinion

I save all my contacts to my Google account. None of them are on my phone or sim card so there's no chance of losing my contacts. I can even see/edit them on google.com/contacts

Reason I do it both ways is in the event I was hacked on my goggle. It happens just like any site. Everything is vulnerable to attacks so I rather not take no chances. Just being safe I guess.

If you have the same contacts on both sim and google, you can "display" only one or the other in the contacts app so it doesn't show double.

I guess is just the way I synch it. I open all my emails and such all of them. Just like having all my contacts handy. Is just personal preference.

Am also backed up to google. But when u sync u lose the joined contacts from facebook account ... its the pain in the ass to rejoin them everytime

I solved the sync issue with contacts and birthday's calendar between ICS AND Facebook with haxsync from the play store. Works like a charm

It has a fuzziness setting that it worked pretty good for me. Also the option to create HTCData links in your google account as a backup for restore

I'm having an issue where once contacts are joint, I lose the google name and it defaults to their facebook name.
This is really annoying for people who don't use their real names on facebook...
Is there something I'm missing where I can default it to the google contact name?
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.

So I send a lot of emails on Craig's List using my Gmail account. For some reason every email address I send an email to get captured by Gmail, and somehow ends up in my contacts list, and gets downloaded on my phone every time I sync after installing a new ROM.
Any Gmail experts know how to prevent this from happening?

I'm def no expert on that but seems like its more likely a setting in your gmail than your phone. Log in with your computer and look through the settings on there.
