I cant seem to forward my college's email to my gmail or any other email app. My school just updated its email platform so I am now able to check it via my phone's browser. My question is: is there any way for me to receive notifications for new emails this way?
No, has to be an app.
You could however, just set up your Gmail account so all the college email gets forwarded into that, and that way you receive notifications.

Maybe you can set up a email account on your phone (if it's POP3, IMAP or Exchange android supports it).

yeah but then when I reply (to my teachers, etc) it will show my gmail address instead of my school email address.
btw the stock email app for my old OG droid worked fine with my school email but my Dinc with CM7 doesnt have the same stock email app?

I'm using gmail with one major gmail account plus few pop3 accounts.while using gmail at web I can chose which account name use for send out emails.i need sometimes to answer from another account name while still using one gmail login.
At android gmail application I cannot find such feature as changing "from"name. Any ideas?

The gmail app supports multiple accounts. Use that.
Also, you can go into your gmail settings from your PC and have one of your gmail accounts access your other POP3, managing those account for you. You can even set them up with a filter with autolabeling so they stand out in your inbox, also set them up so they show the original email when you reply.
I manage 7 email addresses this way, it works perfectly if you take the time to set it up well.

Now Im totally confused .
Via web Im using one gmail account ([email protected]) which receives mails from this adress and from 3 other servers via POP3. Mails are flagged - just as you described. We are here same, but:
- when I write answer to @gmail.com - it goes with @gmail.com, one answering for some POP3 message - answering as POP3 account owner. Via website everything is OK.
Via [email protected] if I receive mails to @gmail.com or any other POP3 Im always answering with the name and account set in Gmail application. So if somebody sends me email to account which is checked by gmail via POP3 once I answer from web - looks good, answered from phone - not as I use @gmail answering profile.
How can I match those in HTC to settings from Web?
Use K9 mail available from market, it let's you set up your gmail account and send e mails from different accounts

There are two email clients on android. The gmail app and the mail app. Use the later for multiple pop accounts and gmail at the same time. You can set up as many as you want. It's all built in. The google mail app is crap imo, just switch to the HTC one

Did you ever find a solution? I have the exact same question I have a gmail account, but my main email account is a work pop3. I used to use Outlook on my desktop and k9 on my EVO, but they didn't sync. Recently I changed over to using Chrome browser and gmail at work. I set gmail to check my work POP3 account and also have it set to send outgoing mail through the work pop3 server. My default "FROM" is my work POP3 address, but I can change the "FROM" to my gmail account using the drop-down in the "fROM" field. I also have another personal POP3 that I also have gmail checking and can send from that one as well.
My problem is that I can't select the FROM address when using the gmail app on my HTC EVO. It always addresses new messages from my default account which is the work POP3.
I like the gmail integration and don't want to to back to using multiple accounts in K9.
I cannot send outgoing email when out and about, but can receive incoming email anywhere.
When back in house and wifi, outgoing email suddeny sends.
I use pop3 on ukonline, so is there some security settings not working when not on wifi in house?
Sorry to hijack this thread, but I did a search and this was only topic that returned.
Your SMTP settings will be incorrect.
I suspect that you will be using UKOnlines SMTP server for outgoing mail, which is fine when you are connected via WiFi (and hence, via their network), but will not work via Mobile Internet unless they allow authenticated access from outside their network.

Where is the push email support for non gmail account?
There was never support for IMAP push and still isn't. Seems Google isn't particularly interested in changing that.

please understand what we are talking about.
Set your other account to forward to a gmail account. You can even set the Gmail account to reply from the "professional" account. Or set up a Google Apps account with your business domain.

If it's exchange you're looking for, touchdown supports push. I've been using it for years it works well.
What type of account is this?

i love Touchdown exchange for my work email. Probably the best part is the pin required by my company's security isnt applied to the whole device, I only have to enter the PIN to open the email application. Id hate to have to enter PIN just to send a text message.
I'm disappointed that Gmail doesn't have push using the email app. There's push support on the iPhone, so why not on a native Google device?
The AOSP email app has support for exchange.

Thank you for clarifying. This whole thread just freaked me out. IMAP? Who cares! But, Exchange? Yes please!

I just got my Galaxy Nexus and was hoping that this would be something that ICS would resolve. My single biggest gripe with Android is lack of native PUSH email notifications for non-Gmail email accounts.
I shouldn't have to forward emails to my gmail account for this to work. That is not a solution, but merely a half-crack workaround.
I don't have the ability to use Google apps with my work email account.
I don't have an Exchange account, just an IMAP account. So it sounds like my only options are to get one of the shotty email clients in the app market or move to iPhone that supports this natively. I love android, this is just one of those things that's a priority for me. :-/
Kaiten Mail
Check out Kaiten Mail. Based off K9 email, but I think it works better, and works great on tablets too.

You can't just add "push", the email service needs to support it.
"Push" email is just a descriptor, it's not an actual implementation of anything specific.

The iPhone doesn't support PUSH (aka IMAP IDLE) for IMAP email servers. I'm positive it doesn't do it for the native email (my wife has an iPhone), can't say if there's an email client app that supports, but I want to say no since iOS will kill any background running app like that.
Get K9 mail for Android, I used it a lot a couple years ago via IMAP (before switching to Gmail full time), worked great for instant notifications.

the email must support push email (IMAP idle) but the client must support that too.
my own server supports IMAP idle, I use the push service on every phone but it does not work on my galaxy nexus.
I must admit that android is only a soap bubble, you can't say that android is an advanced OS when it lacks the basic feature of feature phones.
I could've sworn I had a stock Email app on my Droid Charge at one point that was push. It was awesome. There has to be a stock or AOSP Email app apk out there somewhere that we can use.
Galaxy Sll email app has it...maybe someone can port it.

Hello,
I am trying to find out a bit more about email push, IMAP and the S3.
Every time I setup my IMAP email accounts, the setup process asks what will the polling time be. Why would we have to set this up when IMAP works with push? We don't have to pull email... unless the S3 does not support push email...
Or, maybe I am setting it wrong?
I have 7 or 8 email addresses and all are going through GMAIL at the moment (setup as labels), and Gmail does a very good job pushing emails... but the back end still calls the email services through POP... so it's not really push at all... plus I can't add Yahoo to it.
Before anyone says "oh well, keep using the gmail app, then!", I am a firm believer in using stock apps first so that I don't have to add layer after layer of applications to do one single task... and if I have a stock email app, that's the one I want to use.
Thanks for your help!
Maildroid works very well in setting up email for push or pull email. No, it's not the stock app, but it will handle multiple email accounts with each account having it's own settings. One account doesn't have to have the same settings as the others.

Thank you, I will try it. I tried k9 but it looks outdated, and it makes a huge contrast with the S3 looks...
Does anyone have any news on this subject?
Push email was available on the native S2 email client.
I also vote for native apps first.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
The native email client does not support IMAP idle. It only offers interval polling. If you're on Exchange, push does work but only with the active sync protocol.
I gave it a try to exchange with my gmail account. It does push but it uses more data and more battery than on the S2 by keeping the phone awake 5min/8h, when it was less than 1min/8h.

I have a customer that is having issues with her yahoo email. First, the problem she had was that everytime a new email came in. It would show some form of spam message in the notification bar but when you clicked on it it would go to the right email. I recommended remvoing the email account and re adding it to the phone. Now she's not having that problem but she's not getting any notifications and old emails that she had read are now showing up unread after refreshing the email account. any help will be greatly appreciated.
Is she using the default email app or the Y! Mail app from Yahoo? I haven't had the issues you described when using either one, but maybe she can try a different app than the one she's using now.
She's using the phone email app. I tried the Yahoo mail app but it wouldn't show old emails because it's a business's email.
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 2
Hmmm... not sure - I don't know why being a business email would have any issue with showing old emails on Yahoo. Only other thought I had was to try a different email client like K-9 or Mail Droid and see if you have better luck with that.
I read that Microsoft is ending Exchange Activesync. I was able to use this to sync my main gmail account with the stock app for note 2.
Strangely enough, it's still working this year 2014, though I'm not sure after July 31, the scheduled date when EAS is finally removed.
The push settings really helped save my battery and I was wondering if there is a way to get push email with gmail?
Thank you

I really didn't understand your question but are you trying to ask if gmail "push" service would be available via stock "email" app and not the default gmail app that comes preloaded?
Aw sorry. I'm using the samsung stock email app with Microsoft Exchange activesync for my gmail.
The stock Gmail app doesn't have push.

umm as far as i know from personal experience the default gmail app does have "push" as long as "sync" is enabled if sync is disabled gmail won't act as push and you have to manually check for emails under gmail. Well i am still not clear as to what are you trying to ask ,cause you are talking about microsoft active sync and gmail together,they are two different email clients that behave differently and it doesn't matter if you use samsung stock email app or stock google/ aosp/aokp email app for receiving push notifications cause it depends on the email client if they offer "push" under "stock email" app .Like for eg under stock samsung/google/aosp/aokp email app if you use your yahoo id it doesn't have option for "push" but it can check for emails at certain intervals but if you use hotmail or gmail id it does offer "push" ,so my question to you is which email are you using under stock email app ?Is it GMAIL or HOTMAIL account?
