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.

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 just got my Galaxy S3. As usual, when I set up my main google account it defaulted to syncing my gmail contacts and calendar. I sync my contacts and calendar to an exchange server and don't want them synced to my google account.
On other devices I could go into the account settings, uncheck contacts and calendar, then go into the app manager and delete the data from contacts storage and calendar storage and they would all be gone.
When I did this on my S3, the contacts app still shows all my Google contacts. I can't figure out how to remove them.
Can anyone explain?
Thanks!

This should have taken care of the issue. Can you make sure that you go to settings > accounts > your google account and uncheck contacts and calendar sync FIRST and than go to settings > app > contacts and clear data. (Same for calendar)
Also, if you have Google+ (or facebook) installed, it could be syncing contacts too. Make sure you uncheck and clear all contacts.
Strange. No matter what I did those contacts would not disappear. Then I rebooted the phone and they were gone. Seems to be working fine now...
Thanks.
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?

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.
As per title, when I first setup my P6P, and setup all my email addresses, all the email accounts calendars were shown in Google calendar. Literally overnight they disappeared and I can't sync or see any other calendar events from my non Google accounts. Done the usual cache, clear, disable and uninstall etc all to no avail. Even checked all Hotmail and Yahoo standalone accounts.
Any ideas?
Yeah, my Outlook/Microsoft account also not showing in the calendar which is shame. I would like to receive similar message on always-on display for Teams meetings as I have got from Google Meet via Google Calendar.
My work email is through Outlook and it didn't show either. What I had to do was this...add a new Exchange account and sync the calendar. Let it sync and go refresh the calendar. It should show up shortly after all this.
I assume you mean add the account to 'Gmail'? It won't allow my Hotmail account to be entered in 'Exchange'.
When I add it in Gmail, I notice the option to sync only contacts and mail is there. No option to sync calendar is seen anywhere. I think this is where the problem lies.
No not in Gmail. In the phones Settings > Passwords & accounts > scroll down and select "+ Add account" > select "Exchange".
