With the latest market (3.0.27), you can switch between accounts, if that helps. I don't think you can transfer downloads/purchases among them, though.

ok , was hoping there was a way to make a new gmail account and have all market apps transfered over to it even if i try to add an alternate email it wont let me add a gmail email account on there.
thinking i need to change my primary email adress to another gmail email i have.

EDIT: first problem solved, so need to figure out if deleting the first email address from the phone will automatically give me the option to sync calender with the other gmail address
EDIT 2: tried deleting old gmail address so that I would only have the new one on the phone. it wont let me delete the old gmail address without doing a factory reset. I dont want to do a factory reset, so anyone know how to either delete the old gmail address, or be able to sync the calendar from new gmail address as described below?
Need help with 2 things:
First:
So I have 2 gmail accounts. One ive had ever since i got first android phone a year ago. 90% of my contacts are synced with this email address and phone, problem is that I dont really use this email address anymore. the other I created a couple of months ago and primarly use, but only a few contacts are synced with this email address.
So, how do I transfer all my contacts to the 2nd gmail address so I can get rid of the first? I have tried in gmail, but I must be doing something wrong...
Second:
This is kind of related to the first. I want to use my google calander for the second gmail address I have. but when i go into accounts and sync, it only gives me the choice to sync the calander from the first/old gmail address. There is not option to sync calander with the newer gmail address I really use. So either how do I sync the second gmail address, or per first question above, how do i transfer contacts from old to new gmail so i can delete the old account off of my phone, as im assuming if the newer gmail address is the only one on my phone it will give me the option to sync calendar????
sorry this is long, but it has been bugging me for a while
anyone? should i have posted this in general?
nevermind. figured it out
Gmail contacts transfer
You can export all contacts as CVS I think - from google mail (from your PC) ...
and then Import the CVS file you created on the second gmail
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!

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.
It seems to me strange that I can not believe it ... (and hope I am wrong).
I tried to set up my google apps account as an account of the GS3 activesync email application.
simple options that are usually on the other device (username, domain, password, service ect) here are different ... mahh ... in the "Domain \ user name" ... I tried all combinations: domain.xx \ name \[email protected] with the bar, no bar, with 2 points, commas, capital letters etc etc. ...
The exchange server is the same m.google.com and works on all phones in the world except this one ...
the result always is:"can not connect to server"
If you have suggestions, perhaps borrowed from GS2, are available to test

Why are you doing that?
Setting -> Accounts and Sync -> goggle
Enter in your email and password
I have my Google Apps account on it now using that, has push email/cal etc
yes in gmail app... no in e-mail app
yes, it works in gmail app. What does not work is a google apps account (exchange activesync) in the touchwiz e-mail app
Is not a solution but I tried with k-9 mail and it work ... But I would like to use the samsung e-mail application
I use google mail exchange with the Samsung email app with no issues. Pushes email.
Is that what you are trying? In Samsung email settings, add new account. Enter google email and password, then select manual setup, hit exchange etc

Certainly, gmail works.
What is not working is "Google apps" account (accounts that use google servers www.google.com/a)
It does work. Go to settings, accounts and sync and setup Google there but don't sync gmail . Untick this option. I have reader, finance, and about 6 other Google services all syncing

does it work? exchange with the Samsung email app and GOOGLE APPS account? how can email work if I untick this option?
With the Samsung email app I have gmail setup as exchange. Within the system accounts Google is setup. Goto the gmail app and setup your email. This initially doubles up as your email its setup with the Samsung email account too . Now go to system settings, accounts and sync and within Google untick mail. Try it then key me know it is working. If you can't get it to work you are doing something wrong .

I do not think we understand, it may be my bad English ... However, the problem is not Gmail in exchange on the Samsung email app (it does work fine); the problem is a GOOGLE APPS account (it's a account that have [email protected] and domain.xx is different to gmail.com).
"google apps" account is different from gmail account. the first in exchange with Samsung email app work, the second with Samsung email app work only in IMAP (without push)... i want it in push, as on xperia s, one s etc...
I paste my Google apps settings that do not work
Address: [email protected]
password: mypassword
manual configuration
Domain \ user name: \[email protected] (but I tried it without the bar, with bar, with mydomain.xx\myname etc ... I think I have done all the tests imaginable)
Password: mypassword
Server: m.google.com
SSL: yes
Certificates: yes (but I tried with no)
Doesn't work for my google apps account either. Looks like a bug to me.

it's the same bug of GS2 with ICS..
you cannot connect anymore to a Google Apps account using ActiveSync (Exchange)
the only method is to remove Samsung Email apps, and push Email AOSP..
hope Samsung will fix it asap, because HTC One X works like a charm with ActiveSync and Google Apps
Does anyone know of any fixes at the moment, or sometime soon?
there is no fix untill samsung update...
now work
With the new update ALF5 now the situation seems solved ... I intend to test it better, but now it synchronizes and mail arrive.
You will not believe this
I have been searching and searching and finally found a solution.
Its **** simple.
Carefully follow the directions found here and use the gmail app to add a new account. It worked for me! I played around with every imaginable setting in the mail app and had no success.
I cannot post links... samsung.com/us/support/supportOwnersHowToGuidePopup.do?howto_guide_seq=5790
If you go through the mail app they limit you to only gmail addresses, this is not the case if you go through the gmail app and add a google apps account
My next question is how to view all emails in one box in the gmail app...

How can i update to ALF5? I'm currently on ALE8 and when I go to Software Update, it says there is no update available. Do I have to use Kies or something? Is it only available in some parts of the world? Thanks.
I was also looking for a solution and now Samsung has done her "homework".
Now with Firmware:
GT-I9300 - Open Germany
PDA: I9300XXALF6
CSC: I9300DBTALF4
Version: 4.0.4
Date: 2012-06-27
it works like a charme
So now is all OK and i hope Samsung bring the same solution on the Galaxy S2.

@TaLEntZ96
you can flash any firmeware with the tool "Odin",
use the Forum or Google and you will find a solution.
I am also unable to get my google apps account to sync with the samsung email app via activesync. Any suggestions would be great!
I have set up a Gmail account as required to use the Google market.
I don't allow this email to backup my contacts etc. Just to be able to use the Google Market.
I need to to set up my primary Gmail account without having it linked to the device. The normal email account set up doesn't allow me to download attachments and is not stable.
How can i do this?
Thanks.
Are you using the gmail app from the market? Works fine for me. I have 2 gmail accounts.. 1 for market, 1 for other stuff, both work with the app.

Thanks for your reply.
Yes I use the Gmail app from the market.
Once installed and before I enter my main Gmail account it asks me to resync, which I do.This brings up the default gmail account needed to run the phone.
Then I can add another Gmail account but it links it to the phone which I don't want it to do. I want to keep my main email account separate from the phone. i.e I don't want it to have all my details in the phone to be in my primary Gmail account. ( if that makes sense).

I am not sure I understand your problem entirely, but if it is of any help, you can choose what to sync and what not to sync to your account from the Settings-> Accounts.
Hello guys!
I am a big android fan and my old phone was the LG nexus 4.
I got now the samsung galaxy s3 from my work place so I won't be using
the nexus anymore.
Because it's a phone from work I'll need to configure two emails:
work email and my gmail.
In the nexus I had only one email address (gmail) and everything was synchronized to there ...
contacts, google play and much more.
I want in the new galaxy s3 devise to have the gmail account as primary but to configure also the work email:
to have contacts from gmail and the work contacts all together under my phone contacts
and to have seperation .. if I add a contact I want it to be synced only to my gmail contacts for instance.
so on the one hand, I want to have both mails and functionality on the same phone
but on the other hand a way that I can seperate between the two.
Thanks alot you guys!
It should have another E-Mail app installed.
You can use this or download another E-Mail app if you don't like the stock app.
Then you should be able to configure your work mail in this app, shouldn't be very hard.
I don't think you can also synchronize your work contacts. Maybe if you use Exchange, I'm not sure.
But you could just add your work contacts to your Gmail contacts and add them to a Work contact group.

thanks for the quick response,
any mail app recommended?
Also,
How do I add my work contacts to my gmail contacts without doing so one by one?
(is there some kind of export?)
thanks!
I'm on a custom ROM and using the stock Android mail app, but K-9 Mail is very good mail app.
I think, you should be able to import your work contacts.
However, I don't exactly know how you would do that. But I'm sure, you'll find an answer with Google.
thanks alot m8
I will try and update
