you might have to sign out of the htc mail app....
Make sure you don't have both a 'google account' and a 'gmail account'
Also, check for gmail added to the email app.
Go to:
Settings > Accounts & Sync
Click on "Google"
Uncheck "Sync Gmail"
This will stop syncing gmail and only the red/white gmail icon will appear from now on.
Alternatively, you can remove the sync from Gmail as well to only see the grey notifications from new email.
Actually, I've noticed the same issue and it's because you have signed into both of the HTC mail and Google Mail apps. Choose which one you like the best (Google Mail seems to push faster) and then select settings. Here you can turn off the notifications.

Sorry if I have posted this in the incorrect area....
I have just installed Android 2.1 on my Hero and I am having a few problems with Facebook syncing.
Every single one of my Facebook contacts appears in People. So I select "View" and uncheck the Facebook tick box. Only my Gmail contacts now appear - great problem solved.
However when I go into "Messages" and select "People" all of my Facebook contacts still appear. Does anyone know how to get rid of these to only show Gmail contacts in Messages?
Thanks in advance.
Is it just my View or is the stock mail app messed up. I have a shortcut to the mail app on the home screen. When I get a new email the notifier tells me and the mail icon on the home screen has a number on showing the number of new emails. I tap the mail icon and open the mail app and instead of showing the messages, it says no mail. I have to open the mail app and then tell it to refresh on order to see the email that the app notifier has told me that I have. Is this how the stock mail app is normally?
Are you using gmail or some other mail provider?

It is a pop 3 account with the mail app. My gmail works great.
Mail app is fine on my end. Exchange, yahoo, hotmail accounts. Mail icon pops up on the notification bar, open the mail app the emails are sitting in the respective inboxes. Do you have auto download messages checked in the settings?
Yes it is set to auto download and I have the peak and off peak download time set tot he same. I also tried checking the Refresh on open but that didn't help either. I removed my pop account and set it up again and that didn't help either. I don't know what is going on with it.

I setup my google account and do not want my google contacts syncing. Other threads I have found say go into setting and uncheck syc contacts box and it will no longer sync. but I dont have a box to uncheck? Is there a way to just sync gmail mail and not the contacts? If there is please please please tell me how.
settings - accounts and settings - select the google account - THEN you will see checkboxes
mine does not give me that option. the only options it gives me is touch contacts to sync now. there are no boxes even visible to check or uncheck
It is in phone settings (or Settings app), not gmail settings.
Thats what I am saying, I go into settings, accounts and sync, choose my gmail account. it gives me the following options
sync books
sync contacts
sync gmail
sync calendar
below each of them it says touch to sync now. There are no boxes, i dont see where it give me the options to change the settings for any of them

settings button on bottom next to home screen- accounts and sync- uncheck auto sync.
You will see your account under manage accounts.
So then why don't you just click 'sync gmail'?
im trying to get it to stop syncing contacts. Its like its set up by default and I cannot get it to quit syncing the contacts

You have Auto-sync turned off. That's why you don't see the check boxes because you are not automatically sync anything.
Go back to account and sync screen and check the box 'Auto-sync'. Now you will see check boxes on all the items under your Gmail account.
ugh!!! your a genius!! Thank you, Im sorry for the ingorance. Coming from an Iphone, this is all very new to me.

Superb! I had the same issue and this worked! Thanks so much.
Good searching and reading, isn't it.

Weird question maybe. The default email client on the tablet is using the built in app. It connects to my gmail account which is fine, but I want to use the OTHER email client that is on the tablet and setup my other IMAP email accounts also and not use the default Gmail client (which is the red app) and use the yellow one that just says "mail".
Also, does anyone know what the main difference between the two email clients that are loaded on the tablet by default?
One is red and the other is yellow. I guess they are no Outlook 2010, but better than nothing right?
Have you tried simply deleting the GMail app? That would be my first guess...
The red app is Gmail - only used for google's email. The yellow app is for any other email accounts like aol or yahoo.
Go into settings and click "Accounts and Sync" then add account on the top right. Click email and add your imap account. During setup make sure you have Default Account checked, that should set it as default. Hope this helps.
I personally delete gmail each time it comes back with a new ROM.
It just needs a rooted device and one of the numerous apps that can uninstall a system app, or a root file explorer to erase /system/app/gmail.apk.
You can remove the Gmail sync element in settings for that account. Then setup the other email client. Only one email app will check for emails then.
Or as someone said root and uninstall it.
In all honesty I usually just turn off gmail notifications and set up all the other email in my EMAIL app. That way I don't lose anything other than gmail app telling me when I have new mail.
Just open gmail app, go into settings, touch your username, uncheck notifications.
You can freeze the Gmail apk. with Titanium backup and not need to uninstall.

Hi
I am using 2 imap accounts within the messaging application but the emails are nto being pushed to my device (the problem described in this thread.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432778 )
Yesterday I found the "Accounts and Sync Settings" application in my phone and as I checked it there, I found that my email accounts are listed there but the synchronisation settings for them is set to "OFF" which may be the reason why is the push not working...
I checked all the settings regarding the email accounts and their delivery options but they are set to be pushed, there is no data saver or whatever - simply are conditions are fine but I can't get them to sync in the background (yes - the folders are set to work in the background sync mode....)
Anyone knows what is wrong? - why are not the imap accounts enabled to use the background sync???
thanks
