Hey guys, is anyone missing options to include as attachments in the gmail app? The regular mail app has options to include locations, vCards, videos, voice recordings, etc.
i have the attachments option in gmail,
but i don't have as many options as the stock mail app, either.
i would think that the MAIL app simply has all of them as pre-sets, but if you use GMAIL then you can simply navigate to them using the pop-up suggestion of 'file explorer' or any other apps like 'andro-zip' that you have installed (which also popped up in my gmail attachment option)
Yes, that would be a viable option if I wanted to send something like a document, picture, etc. However, it would be nice to have the integration of the vcard, capture picture/video, send GPS coordinates, and other items that are not specific files on my phone.

good point
although some of those are indeed possible--but strictly from the app in which you would find them (*GPS--Maps app, for example)--
it would indeed be nicer to have just one starting place (gmail) from which all of those could be shared.
I was thinking the functionality was missing, but it seems like it was never implemented? I just looked at my Xoom and it only has my file browser and gallery. I thought my HTC Touch was able to attach these items, but I can't remember as it has been over a year since I have messed with it. Plus it was running some other hero Rom or something like that...

Anyone recommend a "one size fit all email app" like the iphone, for Att S2?
I'm using Exchange, yahoo, gmail. I have lots of folder in my exchange mail and the stock Mail is sux.
Moxier mail is good but only have 1 email acc. I need an app that can put all mails in one place and showing folders instead of coupel apps for emails.
Thanks
I use Gmail for all of my accounts. I set Gmail up to retrieve (pop) mail from my Yahoo account and my other email address forwards to Gmail. I have labels set up, which allows me to organize it. I've been doing this for a while and it works really well.
What about Exchange, all folder will show or i have to go settings and choose specific folder to view? it's a pain in the bu.. . I really like the way iphone's emails handle.

I've never used Exchange, but if you were able to successfully configure it for pop retrieval, it'd work just as your other email addresses, in terms of how you view them (outlined below). Otherwise, perhaps forwarding is an option. For the email address I have forwarding, I set up filters (scans incoming emails for defined rules) to apply labels (e.g., when the sender or recipient is ______, apply this label). It's something you'd have to toy around with, but I've gotten mine set up pretty well.
All emails would show in your Gmail account inbox (with labels on each one, if you've done this) and you have the ability to specifically select a label to only see mail with that label. This is something you can do online or on your device via the Gmail app (viewing individual labels). I've tried just about every email client and I've found that this method is what works best for me.
Good luck.

I was set up like this as well for quite some time - and it worked well. Recently switched to using maildroid, which I like, but haven't customized to get more functionality than I had with gMail yet...
What's wrong with the stock mail client? Seems really nice to me. Should support all of those account types and you can switch folders very easily.

Back in my Captivate days, I found the stock email client to be unreliable. Ever since then, I've been avoiding it.

The problem is with stock email. My folders didn't go in order some + subfolders.... Moxier mail gives exactly the folder in order like the outlook also display the number for new email....like the MS Outlook in computer.
I just reinstalled Moxier mail and use stock mail for yahoo, gmail also. Oh well, no choice

Well this one isn't the same one as the Captivate had, but I'll take your word for it.

Touchdown is a pretty good one, but you have to pay for it.

The stock email client is very nice and seems to work very well with Exchange. From what I've seen so far:
1) Tasks will sync
2) Folders are supported, much nicer and easier than with the Captivate
3) Flags are supported
4) Various display options such as first line preview, threaded emails, etc
5) Out of Office settings can be made from phone.
6) You can search emails on the server, not just those on your phone
7) In landscape it'll do a preview pane on the right-hand side. Not bad.
Try it, you've got nothing to lose. Seems pretty nice so far. The only thing I am missing is the ability to "check" multiple emails and take an action on a group of them (e.g., delete them all). You need to do it one-by-one. But so far it works well.
Anybody know if the stock email client can be set up for "push only" so it doesn't poll every x minutes for new mail?
Another vote for enhanced email. You can bypass exchange security rules

Enhanced Email is what youre looking for. I'm a huge Exchange user and this program easily integrates and works just like it does on iphone. You can choose which folders to keep in sync and it will notify you whenever a new message arrives in sub-folders.
The only problem I have with the stock email app is that you can't "Select All" and delete. That capability, and the ability to forward emails by clicking on several contacts and adding them , as the stock program does, are two features I really like; however, I can't find an email program that has both capabilities.

I installed Enhance email. However, it looks alike stock mail (may be I haven't explorer it much). I do like Moxier mail because it's giving me the interface just like Outlook (folder is in order same as my work laptop). Unfortunately, Moxier mail only have 1 account. Wish i can add other acc then it should be PERFECT
anyone else here use go sms? i can't figure out why, but for the contact pictures, it's pulling everyones picture from their google picture i have on there (which was from syncmypix like MONTHS ago, so they're all outdated)
i have checked "pull pictures from facebook" and have checked email, name and number..and it doesn't work. this worked correctly on my incredible, and it was able to pull their facebook images in gosms fine...won't work with the rezound.
anyone else have any insight? i'm wondering if it's because they got rid of Facebook for HTC Sense and only use the facebook app for syncing now :\
Mine has Display Facebook avatars checked and I have it Match by Name. It seems to prefer facebook avatars over what are in my google contacts. Not sure if any of that helps you :/
wtf mines opposite, it shows google pics over facebook, which is really annoying lol
Mines the same, if I have any Google photos, it shows those instead of Facebook. Where as it shows Facebook on GO Contacts. No matter how I configure the settings. It's weird. Lol.
I had this same issue. What I found out, is the official Facebook app does not support access to the friend photos by third party apps. That's why it uses the google contact photo instead.
The older phones had Facebook for HTC Sense, that obviously is not the official facebook app so it allowed third party access to the photos. I have run into the same issue with SMS popup. Try using Friend Caster to sync facebook photos to your contacts, that'll allow third party apps to access the photos.
I just deleted google photos and it defaulted to the Facebook ones

i cant confirm this works but i have heard it works..

let me know if it does
guys, great responses!
i didn't know friendcaster replaced facebook in terms of contact pics..i tried using it once and didn't really like it's UI.
as for that script, i'm going to run that tomorrow. i'm perm rooted, so he says you should just be able to push some lines of code to get it to work. great find, guys!!
I'm a huge fan of GoSMS, its definitely the best out of the third party sms apps on the Android market!
Handcent on the other hand seems to display up to date contact pictures. Which does it take from though, Google contacts or the Facebook app?
So basically GoSMS previously synced pictures from HTC Sense's Facebook, but now in Sense 3.5 it no longer exists being replaced by the offical Facebook app which doesn't allow access by 3rd party apps :/

I know this thread has been quiet for a couple weeks, but just wanted to confirm that did indeed do the trick. I use Handcent normally, but I did download Go SMS real quick to test and that showed my contact pictures again too.
Okay, after taking a picture, when in the gallery, it gives you numerous options to share the photo, like text message, gmail, email, facebook, picasa, google+
for some reason, the "picasa" share option doesn't work. this is what i want to use cause i can get a url for a picture the fastest way.
when i choose to upload, after i set a name for the photo, i get "failed to retrieve account information" and it exits.
does anyone know why this doesn't work?

Hi, just tested it and its working here no problem.
Hmmm, it was initially working on my vibrant, and then at one point I remember it stopped working. I'm not sure why it stopped working on my vibrant, but that carried over to my new phone. my picasa albums are syncing perfectly fine in my gallery though.
Try to uninstall drop box if you have it installed. It used to be an issue in the past. Drop box stopped Picasa.

Well, I searched the forums first, and the exact question I have is here, still unanswered. Hopefully this does not get me on anyone's bad side, but figured it was worth one more shot.
My question is pretty basic. I am on the HTC EVO 4G LTE, and I prefer to use the stock mail app instead of the specific gmail app, primarily because I use the "contacts" feature a lot, and like to be able to email people from that contact profile.
Whenever I send something to the trash from my EVO, it gets sorted into a label in (gmail on my desktop PC) called "IMAP/Trash". I want simply for this to go directly into my trash, and not be labeled/sorted separately. That's my whole question- is there a way to do this? With sent/trash/whatever, I'd like it not to get sorted into separate IMAP labels in gmail when I access it via my web browser.
I realize that this works seamlessly when using the gmail app on my EVO, but I'd prefer to use the generic email app. I do not see any setting which allows me to configure this on my phone, and I have tried every available option I can find in my gmail settings, but to no avail.
I would hugely enormously appreciate any help anyone might be able to give me.
Thanks in advance.
Have you looked through the settings while logged in from a browser? There may be something there to let you change where it goes.
Instead of IMAP setting, setup your gmail as exchange. Do a google search for the process. Then you'll have push email and all your folders should match. Hope this helps. Btw gmail searches my contact list? Not sure why yours can't. Good luck!

I don't know if you found an answer, but I was able to fix it by going to the desktop Gmail settings, "Labels" tab > then check the "Show in IMAP" for Sent mail, Drafts & Trash. Then removed the unwanted Labels (IMAP/Trash, IMAP/Sent & IMAP/Draft).
Hello everyone!
I'm having an issue with the built-in Email app on my RN4X (mido). For some reason it creates duplicated labels (folders) on my Gmail account.
For example, the app creates its own "Sent" folder, which I then see in the Gmail web interface as "/[Imap]/Sent", the same with Trash and few more folders.
Usually with other apps, the workaround was to set an IMAP default prefix - which is [Gmail] in this case, and the mail app realized which folder is which and used the standard ones in Gmail, but the MIUI Email app doesn't seem to "understand" this.
Can someone please enlighten me here? Do you use Gmail with the built-in Email app?
PS: Of course, the simple solution would be to use Gmail app and be done with it, however, I'd like to keep my mail accounts in one app and I don't really like how the Gmail app handles multiple accounts (you can't set it to default into "All Inboxes", etc.). So the built-in app seems fine for this and I don't really like to install yet another app (Outlook, etc.) to use it for something as simple as email.
I'm using the latest update of everything on my phone, so I don't think the issue can be here. But if someone has an older version of an app that should be working, I'm all for it.
Thanks a lot!
