I am posting this on behalf of a colleague who is having troubles sending emails from different accounts on his phone.
He has several Google Apps accounts, and has configured his Gmail interface (on his PC) so that everything comes in to a single Inbox, and he can "Send as" any one of the accounts. This works fine from his computer. However, when he tries to do this from his Galaxy S2, regardless of which account he chooses to "Send as", it always gets sent from the same account.
For example, he has two email addresses:
[email protected]
[email protected]
From his computer, he can send as either one of these, and the recipient will see the sender as being the account he selected.
From his S2, regardless of which account he selects to Send as, it always arrives from [email protected].
Is this a problem with the phone? Or the settings for the Gmail app on the phone? Or the Google Apps admin settings? Or something else?
I should also mention that I have a HTC Desire, and multiple Google Apps accounts, and I don't encounter the same issue - when I "send as" a particular account from my phone, the recipient sees it as being From the account I selected.
Cheers,
Paul

I've used BBC on My HTC TP2 for over a month and then WM Exchane sync with a gmail account also.
Although BBC provides a good option for push email, but it fails to provide
1. HTML mails
2. Links don't work within emails
3. In India with Vodafone in Delhi, HTC devices cannot have more than 3 email accounts.
4. You need to have multiple APN's at least 2, One for BBC, other for routine net surf.
5. With device like HTC TP2, HD2 etc without a D pad, next/ previous mail function annoying, close current email & then click next one to open
However I find WM Pushmail exchange better.
1. HTML mails
2. External links do work
3. PC type email interface
4. With devices w/o Dpad also, swipe across the screen changes to next email.
5. With a bit of work around you can have multiple emails on Exchange sync, with gmail, working as push mail
Create a new gmail account. In WM Activesync (disconnect from pc), in server settings create new exchange a/c with
Server address : m.google.com
u/name: [email protected]
password: your p/w
in Server setting choose only emails to sync.
You are done with creating exchange account to sync.
Now go to Schedule in Active sync
Set peak times as : As items arrive
Set Off-peak times as : As items arrive/ as per your choice
on bottom of this page Adjust peak times option is there, in which you may customize your peak hours.
Now on your PC login in your gmail account
Enter settings of gmail account
For the email accounts with pop/ smtp options available
go to Accounts and Import, here you can add accounts to
Check mail using POP3 option, select the desirable setting
For the email accounts without pop/ smtp options
go settings of that email, set forwarding to your this gmail id
Next step is to differentiate emails form different accounts say 5 accounts.
In gmail creat 5 labels indicating import/ forwarded email accounts name such as dinesh gm, dinesh yahoo etc.
Next in Gmail filter options create filter/ rule for each imported account
as
Matches: to[email protected])
Do this: Skip Inbox, Apply label "XXXX GM", Never send it to SpamCheck
Creat rule for all 5 accounts
In Gmail activate Multiple Inbox
Set pane 0 to Search Query as the label created " XXXX GM"
and same for rest of email accounts with respective labels.
Now Gmail stores all incoming msgs from different account with different labels, treated as folders by WM Exchange servers.
On your WM PPC go to Inbox of email exchange account created.
Click Menu> Tools > Manage Folders
(Sync at least once before this step)
You'll see all created labels for various email accounts on your PC in gmail account as separate folders in Manage Folder option. Check all the folders you want to sync
And VOILA you have multiple emails synced as PUSH mails to your WM device with any special Blackberry Connect service, no PINS etc.
Additionally it works on Normal GPRS/ EDGE connection delivering HTML emails
Any people say Windows Mobile or Phone now-a-days are waste of money. No they are the most customizable piece of design available.
Enjoy
Will you be notified of new messages?
I am forced to use Blackberry with my work because they don't let me have email on the exchange server. Blackberry is crap for many other reasons too....

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes all notifications are same which can be configured in the Start. sounds & notifications option in WM6.5
Interesting. Could u please explain step by step how to make it work on Rhodium? TIA
Nice,
I have this but....
Mails will be duplicated between your Inbox and the 'labeled box'.
Beware, when you are replying a mail, you are always use your gmail adress and not the one from the 'labeled box'
I setup my email account using IMAP. After getting my initial mail, the amount of messages I have in the Inbox stays the same, even after I delete them. Just for clarification, It says "4" (in the green circle) next to Inbox even though it's empty. It also says "4 new emails" on the screen-lock page. I tried deleting and recreating the account, but it stays the same.
I originally ran this account as POP3 (with "never delete from server" selected), but when my phone received a message, it would stop it from showing up on my computer's email client. It didn't just happen when I deleted the message on the phone.. the phone seemed to be taking it from the server.
I'd rather run the account as POP3, but I'd be happy with either if they worked properly. The only reason I have it setup in IMAP is because it allows me to receive the same message on my phone and computer.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks,

Recently I've noticed some strange behaviour regarding my contacts.
first I save a contact by selecting new contact in the contacts menu.
Then I chose an account under which I want to create the contact.
I never chose phone-only and always sync to the same account, lets call this account 1.
After I save the contact details the contact does not appear in my contact list.
This contact will neither appear in the contacts of account 1 when I log into Google and look at my contacts.
When I search a certain contact name in my phone it says "Contact not found" below which it gives me the option to "Search all contacts".
If I press this option it will show me all the contact information just like I stored it.
I tried searching in other accounts beside account 1 that I could choose when storing the contact but that yielded no results either.
My questions are:
1 Where the **** does my phone store these contacts?? :S
2 Why can't I see them when I log onto Google?
3 How can I get them to display normally under contacts? (and in my Google account contacts)
Additional information:
I run a CM7 NAND-ROM (I think by HyperDroid) on a 512MB version of the HTC LEO
I mainly connect to the internet through Wi-Fi because I'm currently using a pre-paid subscription.
Anyone have any suggestions?
I have multiple companies, and have 20+ e-mail addresses in the standard mail app. One of the accounts is a Hotmail account, which I forward all the other addresses to, to take advantage of the Hotmail Push feature (I used to use GMail, but HTC no longer supports GMail automatic setup in the standard mail app, so there is no Push option).
The reason I have the other accounts (aside from the Hotmail account) is so that when I receive a message, I can choose to reply to a message received by Hotmail, using the appropriate business email address/server.
I recently had to wipe my phone and set everything backup (don't ask), and now, although I have all accounts aside from the Hotmail account to NOT sync, every once in a while I see that the sync option on the other accounts re-enables itself. At first, I thought it was just an anomaly, but today I happened to see a message on my phone that said, "Syncing to platform", and then all the other mail accounts began syncing again. So, now I know that when the phone "syncs to platform", it resets all my sync settings on the mail app. This NEVER happened before. How do I stop this? I've looked at the Privacy app, and there is a choice to turn off the "Backup my settings" option, but when I go to turn this feature off, I get a warning that this will "stop backing up my Wi-fi passwords, bookmarks, other settings, and app data, and erase all copes on Google servers". Is this the feature I need to disable? If so, does this mean that my online Google account will no longer know what apps I download, and when I go into a wi-fi zone, I will always have to remember the password for each wi-fi zone?
[This may not be the right place to post this question. If its not, my apologies, and please direct me to the correct forum.]
Is there a way to configure the "Send email" voice command to use K9 mail? Would an app like Vlingo provide this option?
When I use the built in voice command and say "Send email to John Smith", it loads the email address, listens for and fills out the body of the email, then prompts me to send. When I say "Send", a notice flashes on the screen saying "Message wasn't sent." I'm assuming its trying to use the gmail app, but I dont have accounts configured in gmail, and have syncing disabled for the app. I've set K9 mail as my default email app, and configured a default send account within K9 mail.
My device (Asus TF701T tablet) is new to me and new on the market so I'm waiting to root it. (Mainly because Asus won't honor the warranty on a rooted device.) If there's a method to do this, with or without root, please let me know,
