I'm hoping this is possible.
So on my personal phone I always use the gmail App for my accounts.
I just recently started working for a company that doesn't issue cell phones, but will set up your exchange account on your personal phone, so i've gone and done that.
Everything works fine, accept the Exchange account is accessed through the Stock Email app, and it is also synching my 2 gmail accounts. Is it possible to remove the gmail accounts from the Stock email app? I've gone into the app's settings and I can't see anything to remove them. I can see the option to stop the sync, but that does me no good for whats already been synced.
Any tips?

I want to try using the Mail app instead of the GMail one, but is it actually possible to disable the GMail app without losing all the other functionality you get from logging into your Google account? - there seems to be a unified log in used by GMaps as well, for example. And when I try to remove the account in settings, it says I have to do a factory reset, this seems bonkers to me.
I couldn't manage to get my Google Mail account to sign into the Mail app...

Turn off sync for Gmail under Settings->Accounts & sync.
You might also want to switch of notifications in the Gmail app too.

Will the phone sync google mail contacts via imap on the mail app or do I need to stick to the gmail app for that?

I think you must have a different version from mine. I have
Settings - Accounts& Sync
Background Data (tickbox)
AutoSync (tickbox)
Manage Accounts
Google
Stocks
Weather
If I tick Google I get a new screen:
Sync calendar
Sync contacts
Sync Google Mail
Sync Picassa Web Albums
(These all just trigger a sync)
At the bottom there are 2 buttons, Sync Now and Remove Account.
If I try remove account a box pops up warning that it will delete all the data, I say OK, then another box that says it can't do it, I have to factory reset because it is required by some applications.
I have been using the Google Mail app since I've had my phone, but today came across a problem - I could not copy & paste a tracking # from an email. I then quickly set up my gmail in the Mail app, & was able to perform this action very easily.
So my question is: has anyone used both apps extensively, & could they give me a quick "pro's & cons"?

Here you go someone has already done that:

The only thing that really annoys me is the fact that your Mail widget does not update the list of emails unless you open the Mail application.
Even if you already updated the email list in your GMail appl.
For example: I receive an email. I get a notification in the notification bar. I open it and it takes me to the Gmail appl (by default). I check my emails, read them, exit the application.
However, my HTCMail Widget (sitting on the desktop) does not show any updates. I have to open the HTCMail manually, sync (again!) and only then can I see the updated list.
Aaaargh!
I've been tempted to move to using the mail application over the gmail one as well.
I think ill setup the mail application with my other gmail account then compare the 2
I much prefer the gmail app. I think its quicker and easier to reply, and it syncs straight away unlike the mail app.
Only downside is the lack of widget, but with the number of apps I have on my homescreens, this isn't an issue.
I always feel it's worth mentioning k9mail at this point, if only because it supports IMAP IDLE.
I have two gmail accounts setup on my phone. Before the Froyo update, I would get instant new email notifications on both of my accounts. Ever since I updated to the Froyo final build, I only get new mail notification on my first account. The other one doesn't sync. Both of the accounts are setup to sync under the Settings->Accounts&Sync menu. Any ideas?
I have this exact problem. Help me please.
I have this problem too and it is frustrating!
On my phone I only have one gmail account set up as the official Google account. I then set up my other gmail accounts under the mail program including my primary gmail account. I disabled the syncing of my Google account and access all of my email through the mail program. I do this because I hate the gmail program and all of my gmail and yahoo accounts sync without problem.

I prefer the GMAIL app over the mail app because I am not the most techincally advanced person in the world and GMAIL easier to use in my opinion. I don't know how to make the mail app sync right when the email comes in like in GMAIL (went through the menu and did not find the option). Thanks for the suggestion it is really appreciated.
Some how i got mine working.
Delete the account
Re-add. It will say this account is not sync'ed (do not press menu and do the one time sync)
Now go to the home screen, menu, settings, accounts and sync. Click on the account and hit "snyc now" a few times.
Reboot the phone
Once back on go back to accounts & sync. Open the gmail account. You should now have the sync mail option.
Check the box, it should then sync
Ahould be good to go
This is exactly what i did and its working like it use to on 2.1

Glad it worked for someone else
I am using K-9 Mail to view all my mail. Great app, integrated inbox to view mail from all accounts at once, can set a color for each account, different notification for each account, very customizable.
Any word on this problem? Just flashed Froyo today and it's bugging me.
I've been having this issue, but I've been on Froyo for a while, I think there is a problem on the server side of things that its not pushing the mail to the phone. I've been posting to a Google help ticket and they said that they're aware that mail is not being pushed to some handsets and they are working on a solution.

Hi there.
I have a rooted S4 mini Duos (GT-i9192) running I9192XXUBNB1 Android 4.2.2. I added my work's Exchange mail, and a personal pop3 account. The mail app looks like it went and rooted around *everywhere* and found pictures for some contacts, and added dozens of other addresses which appear to be fake senders of spam that had at one point been in the pop3 account's inbox.
Now whenever I start typing an address it comes up with lots of results which are just garbage which I cannot seem to remove.
I cleared the cache and data on:
Favourite Contacts
Google Contacts Sync
Samsung Contact SyncAdapter
I've logged into my gmail account (which I never use) and deleted all the contacts there, and told it not to sync contacts but still they remain.
I cleared both my mail accounts from the mail program, readded just the work Exchange one and it's still there.
The only time I ever see a reference to these addresses is when I'm composing mail. If I click/hold the address to try and get an option on it I don't. I can add it to contacts but of course I don't want that, I just want to delete them.
Any advice? I'm raging hard.
Thanks in advance.
Anyone? Please?
Have you clear data and cache from the mail app? I think those ghost contacts are in your phone the contact app or were synchronized to your exchange account check there

I'd cleared all accounts but the mail app doesn't have a "clear data" option, it's greyed out. I had a look on Exchange but no contacts for these users there, not even in the "suggested contacts" box.
I'm getting close to nuking it and starting again. I'm sure as heck never buying Samsung again. It's as if I'm borrowing a phone from them and they're trying to determine how I can and can't use it.
I also noticed another issue: I have an app that requires a password to be entered on logging in, but the keyboard shows and even *caches* this password. I can remove it, but it'll automatically re-cache it unless I turn off all the learning features. Is this just some idiocy from the Samsung keyboard? And if so, is there a better one I can install?
Hey, so I've got this problem where I have added my work exchange account so I can view my world calendar and emails, but it's also showing the contacts I the phone app, I have checked and contacts are set not to sync. If I remove the exchange account, then the contacts go, then add the exchange account with contacts sync off they still come back into the native phone apps contacts, anyone know if this is a bug or if I'm missing a setting?
Go into contacts app, settings, contacts to display, customize, and uncheck your exchange account.

I don't have that option, I've looked for it several times today, each time baffled by it not being there... I'm using a pixel xl.... Are you?
I went into every option I could find and couldn't find it
I have it on my Verizon Pixel XL... Contact app (not the contact view inside of the phone app), settings, contacts to display, customize.

Don't worry found it now... I was looking in the phone app rather than the contacts app. Thankz
I'm also having the same problems. Even when unchecked in settings the contacts display. Using both native mail app and external app. Using pixel 5"
I like the outlook on my phone. The problem is I can see the contacts but I can't edit them. And when I do, it has to be from my office 365 account. I created my outlook account, unchecked the contacts sync and calendar and txt, then let it check mail. I don't think this made a difference but,
I force close the outlook app, went to application manager and cleared the data from the contacts, and contacts storage. Created a Gmail sync and only used contacts and calendar and disabled the email. So now when I change a contact. It actually saves. I also did what the previous post suggested and changed the view in the contacts app after I did all that.
Hi guys, I've got 2 accounts and wants to remove one, can you explain me how to remove email account from fu...king gmail app ?!
at Settings -> Accounts & sync -> Personal (POP3) - when click on 3 dot's got only "sync now" option, theres no remove option, at gmail app cannot find remove option as well.. can someone help me ? thanks
You have to do it via accounts in settings. For some strange reason the functionality isn't built into the app itself. Obviously this means everything associated with this account will be deleted, not just email.
Actually you can go under the google account, and turn off just email, thus keeping play store functionality. Select the google account, and turn off Gmail. note this won't delete the mail already on the phone, you'll have to reset the gmail app to do that, but it will stop syncing and downloading of new messages.
