I have two e-mail addresses, both with comcast. I've added both to the atrix but can only seem to access one of them. The only way for me to switch in the e-mail app is to change the default mail client (which is really annoying). Does anyone know how to select the e-mail accounts without having to change the default, exit the app and come back in?
Thanks
For some reason Motorola decided to be special, what you need to do is actually click on the messaging app. There you will see both your accounts and can fully access them. The email app will only give you the email account that you set as default. Hope it helps. Cheers.

Wow. I can't believe i missed that....
you can also create a shortcut by selecting activities and scroll to universal inbox and select universal inbox.

Hi all,
I recently bought a Droid 2 Global. It has 3 mail apps: 1 app from motorola, 1 app from verizon and 1 gmail app. How to consolidate all three to just one. I can import my yahoo mails to one of the universal mail apps. But not able to import emails from my google app mail account.
So currently i am using gmail app and an universal email app for yahoo.
What should i do to consolidate all my accounts. Iphone is very straight forward. Droid is confusing .
Any suggestions are welcome.

You can always pop your other accounts into gmail, apply a label and be done with it. This is how I manage my emails.
Look in the market for K9 Mail.
Will do all your emails (multiple accounts) and even throw them into a unified inbox display if you want.

This. i have a gmail account for myself, and a seperate one for my band. i link my band email to my personal one and slap a label on it and call it done. then i when i sign into my personal email using the gmail app, my band emails are automatically there, dont even have to bother putting in the login info for that email address.

Sounds like a great idea
I have a little different issue. I have a mail account to which I have two different mail addresses assigned (one is alias).
I would like to send some official mails from one address, which contains my name, and some personal mails or mails to "unknown" people who do not need to know my name from the second address.
On PC, in Mozilla Thunderbird, is option for "identities" where you can add additional mail address/identity to the same account.
Is there any mail client for Android which could do it also? Other option is to run two mail accounts with same server and login settings and different mail address, but in that case I will receive each incomming mail to both.
Hope I explained it well
Thanks in advance for advices.
K9 mail is what I use.
Push email for my aol and gmail accounts.
The stock email application does not offer push for many providers.

But I don't want to just push mails from different accounts.I want to push from one account using two different source addresses.And I should be able to choice from which I want to push.

The best cliente Mail is the Enhanced Email.
First input your gmail acount to active the others acount.
Sorry for my bad english.
My "issue" was solved...found in K9 option for identities...

Hey, theecho... I have looked for an option to "just pop" my other accounts in to Gmail, and and can't see how I could. When I try to just add another email account into gmail (a pop3 for example, one I already have within the 'blur' email app) Gmail politiely tells me I already have this account added.
How do I do what you've suggested?
Dan
Please as title states, which email app do you guys prefer, on the sg2, and why please. I want to be able to use gmail, so jus want to findout what you guys are using, to receive or send your gmail emails. I also want the option to schedule the sync, so your input very much required.
I use the stock Gmail app for my gmail. gmail isn't my primary account so not bothered by any failings, etc.
I use K9 for my main non-gmail personal account. Am very happy with it, can schedule timings and specify a quiet time, when I don't want to be distured by email notifications (i.e. when I'm asleep).

I use gmail and have set it (via the web app) to collect hotmail and another pop3 account, so it's perfect for me as I have all emails in 1 app, and I do like the gmail app!
K9 Mail Sync settings.

Apologies for the delayed reply.
I think it's as follows:
Menu --> More --> Settings --> Account Settings --> Fetching Mail:
"Folder Poll Frequency".
Also under the above and within --> Advanced:
"Refresh IDLE connection".
I "think" that's what you're after... to be honest mine has always just worked.
Hope it helps!
i like samsung's email app. Only thing i cant figure out is how to put it to push.
I tried the Samsung E-Mail app but it really pissed me off more and more. You can hardly make any settings, just specify how many mails to load (timeframe) and how often to update, that's about it. the funtionality and look are standard.
I switched to K9 mail again and instantly remembered why I always came back to that app. Not only does my Push work flawlessly for both accounts (one business, one private that collects) without any "premium" account hassle making use of that annoying social hub, but I can specify all sorts of settings like how much data to transfer by default per mail, to load images, and many many more.

to make push work you have to set your mail account as an imap account. to do so you need to make it a premium account which leads you to samsung collecting your mails via the social hub ... I'd recommend k9 mail. looks the same, and you can make almost any necessary setting.
The stock Gmail app does everything I could ask for
I switched to EnhancedEmail when I used to have a DHD as the stock email client didn't sync contacts and calendars probably.
Enhanced did all the syncing perfectly, however, it just did not allow Exchange accout contacts to be created or added (i dont really know if the stock email client had the same problem or not).
With the SGS2, i used EnhancedEmail first, but recently switched to the stock samsung email client - it seems to work flawlessly, albeit, with the limitations to customisations stated by others. I use Exchange (both my my company email and hotmail) on Push, and at that, it is good enough for my usage.

Plus the stock mail app draines more battery then k9 due to being more active or active in the wrong way I don't know, but there is a big difference, at least on my phone.
I have searched high and low but cannot find a solution for me on this problem. I am running the Gingerbread RC by AT&T and have been using GO Launcher EX for a while now. I cannot find an option to make a shortcut to a specific email account's inbox. The default EMail link goes to the phones default account, and the messaging icon goes to the list of all the accounts. I would like to make it so that I can have individual icons for each email account, like Blackberry does is the best description. I have tried AnyCut, K9 (which sucks for exchange), and about anything else I have read.
Only thing I will not do is change my launcher applications. Please help me if you have any ideas.
you should have an "email" client as well as a "gmail" client, the email client can be linked to yahoo,hotmail, etc.... so I'm pretty sure you want a shortcut to your "email" application and then just have it setup for your different accounts..
hope that helped.

Yeah the email application only links to you default account. Cannot change to anything else besides the default. I have 2 exchange emails and would like to have a default icon that leads to both in one click instead of multiple clicks.
I had this before updating, but can't do it in this version? here is something kinda close to what you want. make a new motorola widget on screen for Messages, when is starts it will let you select which message source you want. Not the same as an icon, but close. it will bring up the last message, and you can select the inbox from there. I made one for each of my mail accounts and one for text msgs.
Multiple Exchange Account Icons for Home Screen
I have 2 Exchange accounts setup on my Atrix 4G. What I want to do is have 2 seperate icons on my home screen. One for each of the two accounts. I just want to touch one icon and go to that inbox. The "Email" icon in the drawer only takes me to the default account. I cannot find any way to setup a second icon for the second account. I already know about the Messaging app/folder that has all the accounts in it, but this is not what I want. Has anyone found a way to do this? Thanks for any help you can provide.
I'm runing office 2010 on my business laptop and have a made an exhange mail account on my SG3.
Works fine, but apart from email I also get my text messages in the e-mail inbox. I'd prefer to get the sms' in my messages inbox only, but they show up in both inboxes. I didn't happen on my old HTC Desire HD, so I guess it's related to the SG3. I've been trailing the settings but I cannot find any setting that will disable it.
It's driving my crazy, so help will be highly appreciated!
Which App are you using for SMS?
GO SMS supports WebSMS which requires activating to support Web SMS send/recieve SMS.

I'm using stock messaging and e-mail apps.
My work email is also setup on this phone. While on the main page of your inbox,go to settings. There is a checkbox there that says Sync SMS uncheck it and you should be all set

This is a cool feature of MS Exchange and Samsung
Hi.
This feature is brought to you by Bill Gates and his gang.
The newest Samsung devices support this feature and it also gives you the possibility to send sms's from your desktop (Outlook client).
If this is annoying someone it can be turned off from you email settings.
- open your email app
- menu -> settings
- click your account name
- scroll to the last option and uncheck it
I hope this helps!
Thanks a lot
Looks like I get to keep my sanity after unchecking sms sync!
Big thank you guys!
Issue: When pulling up a contact and clicking on the email address (to send the contact an email), I get a message that says there is no account configured.
I have gmail configured, and I get and send from it all day long. So I don't understand why it doesn't recognize gmail as a valid account.
I set up my gmail account using "email" and it was fine. Am I forced to not use the gmail app, or is there something I'm missing?
Change the action so it's set to go to your Gmail account by default. I believe it's set to use the mail app in sense by default.

I can't find that setting. It isn't in contacts setting or gmail settings. I cleared the default settings in "mail"... but there isn't anything in gmail to make it default.
