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?

I always wonder why people use the Gmail app. People must have more than one account. So why not use an unified inbox, so you can view all your emails in one place?

Personal preference. I like keeping my inboxes separate. Also, I'm fairly certain the stock email app doesn't handle Gmail-specific functions such as importance markers, priority inbox, and labels.

Using Google and Gmail is less taxing on your battery. If you setup your Gmail account (on a computer from the Gmail inbox) to poll your other accounts, it will then push new emails to your phone. That means your phone is only active (in terms of getting emails) when a new email is being pushed to the phone verses the native email app that will poll your pop3 accounts on the frequency you select. It will do that polling whether there are new emails available on your server or not. Over at Android Central is an article titled "Using Gmail as your own personal push mail server". It explains exactly how to set this up.
I've been doing this for about two years now and love it. I think the Gmail is better than the native email app too.
Good luck.
Gmail app, hands down. You're going to miss so many functions compared to the basic email app.
I didn't even know there was a stock email app..
Gmail all the way.
Gmail of course. Never even touched the stock Email app on any phone I've had.
I'd only use the stock email app if I had to connect to an exchange server. Otherwise, Gmail can pull your email and label them - there is your unified inbox, with the best search in the world and many more features than the stock email app.
Gmail no doubt about it

I wish Google would put all of its efforts into just creating one amazing email app instead of two ok apps. I need Exchange support so I'm forced to use both apps and honestly, neither compares to the experience I had on Windows Phone... Search was much better and faster on Windows Phone as well. The main advantage to Gmail app is the labels function, after that the clients in Androids competitors win in speed, zoom and ability to change views like swipe to view all unread messages, and swipe again to view starred messages.
Stock Gmail preferred, but have to use both since Yahoo won't connect to Gmail unless you pay them a premium fee. Yahoo account is basically collecting spam and an occasional message from someone who hasn't updated their contact list in a while. And c2dm is more timely and battery efficient than scheduled polling and sync.

hmm well I have been using the stock email app forever. Mainly because I needed exchange support, first for school and now for work. But I got tired of exchange hogging the battery so I just have all my emails forwarded now to my gmail account. Might have to give it a try.
Seeing as I only use Gmail on my phone the Gmail app does the job (and I delete the stock app as I never use it)
Lol I freeze the stock mail app first time I flash a rom

I pull other accounts into my main Gmail account, so everything ends up there (e-mails from other accounts automatically get labeled accordingly), and I can access everything through the Gmail app on my phone.
No matter where I look, I can't seem to find any one application that properly supports what I want to do...
I primarily use Gmail and Hotmail for email, and I'd like push access to both. The Gmail app supports push, but only for Gmail accounts, the stock Email app (CM9) supports ActiveSync exchange for Hotmail, but no push for Gmail. I tried K-9 mail and it supports Gmail push, but can't do ActiveSync exchange for Hotmail, forcing me to use POP3, which doesn't have push, or server sync.
Is there any single email app that will fully support both IMAP IDLE for Gmail and ActiveSync Exchange for Hotmail?
the stock mail app supports gmail push. did you try setting it up manually?

By nature microsoft exchange is the only push email. Gmail is only push with that app because it has constant data connection to google servers best thing google ever did. Hotmail or any other free emails are not push so your sol

You can set up your gmail accounts in the stock email app as exchange accounts. Just do a google search for "gmail exchange setup" for directions. Then you can set them up for push.

By default on android gmail is push no need to setup as exchange account. If your hotmail is a free account you will not be able to set it up as push no matter what you do.

Actually when Hotmail is set as an exchange server, it gets Push, free or not.
However, if I try to set up Gmail as exchange in the stock Email app, it says it's not a supported protocol.
I was in a similar shoe as OP.
Originally, I had multiple accounts pushed to the phone but learned that it's more efficient to aggregate all emails including work emails to 1 gmail acct. Gmail app will use the correct email address when I reply. And it saves battery.
Well I tried setting up Gmail as an ActiveSync exchange account and while it seems to work at first, it keeps reporting an incorrect username or password. I've verified both and even tried the Captcha auth step I've seen online and it keeps giving errors.
Add your hotmail email into your gmail settings using pop 3 and then all your hotmail will goto your gmail that's what I do fir 4 different emails

Except that POP3 can't do Push, so it won't work for my needs.
As it is right now, I get push email in the Gmail app for my Gmail address and push email in the Email app for my Hotmail account. I saw that Gmail can be used as an ActiveSync exchange account like Hotmail can, so my hope is to just use the Email app for both accounts.

It only pushes to the gmail app. If you set up a gmail account on the stock email app, it will set it up through imap, but the app doesn't support imap idle push.
Google set up the exchange sync to deal with the iPhone, which doesn't support imap push either.

So, just to make sure we have everyone doing the same thing:
How to set up a gmail account for Exchange push:
(I am using CM9, Android 4.0.4, so the steps may be slightly different on a different rom. However, I have had thbis set-up work on stock Android 2.2 and 2.3)
Go to seetings> accounts and sync
Select add new
Select Corporate/Exchange
Enter your gmail address and password
Select next
Your phone will attempt an automatic setup. This may take a little while.
On the next screen, on the line that says domain/username enter:
gmail.com/[your username]
Now this is the most important step that gets missed most often. Ont the line that says server enter:
m.google.com
Notice that says google, not gmail.
Select next, and choose your other various preferences.
To make sure your email is set to push, go to settings for that account, and under data usage and email check frequency, select push.

Hello,
Here is your solution: Set up your gmail account from stock email application as exchange account. Please find the details from the following link:

It worked in my Galaxy note10.1 perfect.

Thanks but don't think the OP has been waiting since April for an answer.
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?
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'm coming from a 4.4 Nexus 5, where if I add an account to the standard email app I get the choice between POP3/IMAP/Exchange.
On the 5x, the stock app doens't have Exchange as an option?
I like keeping gmail (personal) with the gmail app, and the stock email app for my business mail.
How do I enable exchange?
There is no separate Email app for Exchange; they all get rolled into the Gmail app.
To setup an Exchange account, go to Settings->Accounts->Exchange.
You could also separate them using a 3rd-party app such as Touchdown.
Found a solution - install the exchange service from my N5 on 4.4, and this allows the stock email client to then use Exchange Server as an account type.
does your contacts app allow you to search the exchange database? (gap) no matter what current I use the exchange server doesn't auto fill email addresses and contacts are not listed
Check out the Nine app - it blows the stock app and Gmail away IMO

I've used Nine, Mailwise (beta tester) and Boxer (beta tester) all great email apps for exchange, unfortunately, for me, they don't allow the contacts to search the exchange directory as it does on my other devices.
