For instance initially I was using the Gmail app, but despite now using the ICS email app initiating emails from Contacts opens Gmail. Where in the settings do you change app associations? I just can't find it.
Setting, application manager, go into the application this is launching, clear defaults

You should be able to clear defaults for the respective app: either Gmail or Stock Email if you navigate to Settings/Application Manager/All/Gmail or Email.
If you have already set the defaults for your contacts to be Gmail (for instance), when you navigate to the above directory you will be able to select "Clear defaults."
Thanks guys.

I have two e-mail addresses, both with comcast. I've added both to the atrix but can only seem to access one of them. The only way for me to switch in the e-mail app is to change the default mail client (which is really annoying). Does anyone know how to select the e-mail accounts without having to change the default, exit the app and come back in?
Thanks
For some reason Motorola decided to be special, what you need to do is actually click on the messaging app. There you will see both your accounts and can fully access them. The email app will only give you the email account that you set as default. Hope it helps. Cheers.

I can't believe i missed that
Wow. I can't believe i missed that....
you can also create a shortcut by selecting activities and scroll to universal inbox and select universal inbox.
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.

Issue: When pulling up a contact and clicking on the email address (to send the contact an email), I get a message that says there is no account configured.
I have gmail configured, and I get and send from it all day long. So I don't understand why it doesn't recognize gmail as a valid account.
I set up my gmail account using "email" and it was fine. Am I forced to not use the gmail app, or is there something I'm missing?
Change the action so it's set to go to your Gmail account by default. I believe it's set to use the mail app in sense by default.

I can't find that setting. It isn't in contacts setting or gmail settings. I cleared the default settings in "mail"... but there isn't anything in gmail to make it default.

I started using the stock email app that came with this phone as a bit of a change from the Gmail email app.
I don't sync my data automatically but instead use an app called Synker from the Play Store which only grabs my email when I hit the widget on my homescreen.
Anyways, Synker does not grab my mail using the stock email. I can only get my mail if I physically go into email and synch.
Anyone help?
I really can't figure this one out. My calendar widget stopped working and for some reason, I don't even have the option of selecting "Sync Calendar" under any of my Google accounts. I have tried deleting and re-adding each individual account, but to no avail. Settings say "Sync is experiencing problems. It will be back momentarily." But I cannot find the source of the problem.

Make sure you have the Google Calendar app installed.
I do. I've tried using both the Google Calendar app as well as Samsung's stock app... Still the same problem.

I finally found the Google Calendar Sync Troubleshooter.
Here's the step that fixed it for me. Several layers deep in the Troubleshooter, but finally resolved the issue!
We recommend proceeding with these steps only if the above steps don't resolve the issue.
Open your device’s Settings.
Select Applications, then All.
Select Calendar Storage.
Select Clear data. Answer OK when prompted.
Turn Calendar sync off and on in Settings > Accounts > Google > [your affected account], or from within the app using Menu > Refresh on newer devices. If you receive an error message upon opening the Calendar app, close and re-open it to re-activate sync.
