[Q] Push for Gmail - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is gmail push mail? I know my hotmail account which is setup on the email app is.
But when I send a mail to both accounts, the hotmail one always arrives before and the gmail one waits until auto sync.
Im no expert on this, so any clarification would be appreciated.

Yes It has push mail. Just mark auto sync from accounts and sync. But there is a problem when using it in wi-fi connection. You can fix it like this way:

HTC email apps not syncing w/ gmail

The HTC email apps on my Sprint Hero are not auto syncing with my gmail.
The gmail email app is auto syncing just fine, I receive emails immediately but only in my gmail brand inbox. They are not automatically going to my HTC device inbox or the HTC email widget.
Basically, if I want to get push email I have to use my gmail specific inbox.
If I want to use the HTC inbox or email widget then I dont get the luxury of push email.
I can use them both but then I get 2 notifications for each email.
Any solutions?
I know I could just set my HTC email to update every 5 minutes but that's an awful lot of battery to burn...
Is there a way to have my gmail pushed or auto synced to my HTC email apps as well as my gmail branded email inbox?
Is this already supposed to happen? Could I have broken something rooting? All I have done with root access is remove some sprintware following the safe app removal thread and installed THIS OPTIMIZER.
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!!
Gmail support MS Exchange push, and you can set the HTC Email app up to use it. You can also turn off email notifications on the Mail app, if you want to use both Gmail and HTC mail.

You dont need to configure outlook/exchange settings. That wont work if you did. Reason is that the mailserver of Gmail isnt in your own domain.
Just configure your 2 Gmail accounts, just select Gmail instead of Outlook, HD2 got standard serttings for Gmail.
Push mail is a service provided by exchange server.
If you do not have exchange server, push-email will not work.
On the other hand, you could just configure your gmail accounts (as POP accounts or IMAP accounts, your choice) en periodically send/receive.
Hope this helps.
You may have to go into your gmail settings on your pc to configure imap or pop, i use imap on my device and pull every 10 mins
thanks guys, but what is with hotmail acc, i think that he dont allow imap?, how to configure him on my phone?

Not sure what you mean, if you go to add account and click on other, its all pretty straight forward and you shouldnt have any problems.
I have an exchange mail, gmail & hotmail accounts all set up and work fine.
Let me know if you have any more problems.

k9 email

does this program do auto sync with exchange and gmail, and if yes, how do i set it yes (its not on the list of folder poll check frequnncy)
thanks for the help.
if anyone can think of an email client that can auto sync gmail and exchange, and has a desktop widget that works with it, please share
thank you
Does not do exchange ActiveSync. This would be the holy grail of email apps if it did ActiveSync.

IMAP has Push and Poll, POP only has Poll, not sure about Exchange. K9 does exchange, I assume if there's no options it defaults to Push but you might ask them in their own forums.
Widget, no..
Hello guys,
I installed K9 on my Android ICS on i9100, setup an Yahoo account and didn't found any way to make it Push my email, on Pull/poll at specified intervals (1, 5 ,10min, etc).
I'm looking under Account Settings/Fetching email and the only setting related is "Folder poll frequency".
Am I doing something wrong because the k9 Market page says "K-9 Mail is an open-source e-mail client with search, IMAP push email, multi-folder sync, flagging, filing, signatures, bcc-self, PGP, mail on SD & more!"
My yahoo account has an IMAP server setup, not POP so we can exclude this incompatibility.
As a default behavior, k9 only doesn't have a polling interval setup, I have to manually check for new email.
So, does Push email works on k9 email client?
I've had IMAP push working on K9, although not with a Yahoo email account.
IMAP Push relies on the IMAP server you connect to support the IDLE extension. AOL Mail does, gmail does, but Yahoo does not.

[Q] Email Configuration allover the place -PLEASE HELP !

Good Morning,
I currently have several email accounts set up with K9 email but I seem to have a bit of an issue here and there.
I have;
Two Hotmail accounts ; I am receiving emails that come to the Hotmail addresses into both my hotmail account AND into the K9 accounts on my droid. NO ISSUES.
then
One Gmail account which is my business email. I have my @gmail.com configured to forward to my @.customdomain.com. I am receiving all emails sent by people to my K9 account on my Droid but it does not arrive into my outlook . When I send an email to my @custom.domain.com account from my own outlook package, it does arrive back in my outlook inbox . So gmail seems to be routing my own outlook mail ok but not anything coming from third parties via gmail.
I am guessing it is a simple setting but where ? I have all the "delete from server" etc UNCHECKED in the account settings ....
Can anyone shed a light with what info I have given >??
thanks very much
Ok may be when k9 gets updated it sets email as already poped or read to your domain that's why outlook doesn't retrieve them. But when you send them through outlook may be due to internal routing it comes to your inbox and not through server. Try this deconfigure your k9 and see if it pops in outlook or set outlook to retrieve all mail read unread deleted poped. I don't know how.

[Q] push yahoo emails to phone setup?

How can I setup my yahoo email account to push the emails to my phone instead of having the phone checking for them every 15 minutes?
pushing emails to the phone is better for battery life so that is why I am asking.
maybe there is a way to connect my yahoo email to the gmail app, so that way emails will be pushed to my phone through gmail..?
Yeah, you can use POP or IMAP, I forget which to have gmail grab your yahoo mail for you. You set it up through gmail.
I don't think yahoo has exchange settings.

use IMAP
here are the settings that have always worked for me:
Edit: nevermind, read the OP incorrectly... my badd
Yahoo doesn't use the standardize IMAP - Idle. It's a variation of P-IMAP that Apple and Yahoo "made up" with various protocols
Long story short... there is only ONE app I know that works with Yahoo's Push. Maildroid
There is a Yahoo email app in the market. Not sure if it's what you're looking for though, as I haven't used it.
I think you can do one of two things:
1) setup your gmail to pull emails from your yahoo mail account. Problem is that you can't send via yahoo mail account, using this method.
2) you can download the Yahoo Mail app but reports show that its a battery killer.
I think Yahoo wont let you push mail directly from them unless you pay for their premium service or use their own Yahoo app
OP, go to GMail settings on your desktop. Set it up to retrieve emails from your Yahoo mail account. You can also set a label for all the email from Yahoo. It will then push them into your Gmail app with proper label. Gmail server will automatically figure out the interval it will check for the mail from Yahoo so your phone don't have to do it.
Yahoo mail is one of the worst mail servers for Smartphones.

there, fixed it for ya
ugh, it won't let me set it up through gmail because i dont have the yahoo! mail plus.
any other ideas on how to push yahoo email to my phone?
i know moving to using just gmail would be an option, but that would take entirely too long to change all my email addresses on all the sites i visit to a gmail address.

I remember I had this issue setting up yahoo mail on my captivate with the stock email. I never use my yahoo account, I don't even know why I have one. I figured I would give it a try on the SGS II for kicks. The settings look like they are specific for Samsung phones (and different than the previous screen shots). Can you manually enter these settings into gmail?
Incoming settings:
Outgoing settings:
Of course replace my email address with your own.
My other suggestion would be yahoo settings. Can you set a yahoo account to auto-forward?

figured it out using this tutorial:

soooo relieved. thanks for your help
