I use gmail as my default mail app on my phone. I have it set up to get email from two of my other email accounts and push it to my phone.
Under the contacts on my phone it has a part under each contact to view email conversations with them.
The only problem is that it will only show email from the mail program and it will not show the email from the gmail app. Is there a way to change this to show my gmail emails?
Also is there a way to compose new email in gmail on the hero using a certain email address for its reply. So I can use gmail to collect my email from all my accounts but if I want to send an email from a certain account and not my gmail, can I do that?
How I can change the default mail client to k9 mail?
I want to use k9 mail when I click on an email address in contact instead of the gmail mail client.
with htc sense I was able to change the default mail client but not on the galaxy s2
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?

instead of using Asia location, use UK.
worked and now yahoo mail is being forwarded to gmail!
soooo relieved. thanks for your help
Hello,
I couldn't find a decent answer, therefore I'll ask here...
I wanted to know if it is possible to associate my android device with my very own custom domain instead of '@gmail.com'. For example: I have my own email alias: '[email protected]' that is setup up as a forwarder to my Gmail '[email protected]' which is associated to my android device, but when viewing I'm gmail app it will show the 'gmail tag'... I want it to show my custom email.
Now, I know that you select to send emails using your forwarder, but that's not what I want.
Thanks.
why cant you directly configure your email account in the defaut email application and use that instead of Gmail app???

I can, but that's not what I asked for. I was wondering if you can do that using Gmail app.

So it seems after I setup both my gmail accounts it keeps trying to use the wrong one when sharing images via inbox & gmail.
Does anyone know how to set the default send address?
Thanks
When you send any mail... I think it asks to choose e-mail address from which you want to send mail..
Ah that's new to me. It used to just default to the one I wanted to use and would just be text rather than a drop down. Thanks for the info.
