I don't want my email synced until I open the email app. This seems like it should be easy to do since there is an option to disable it under settings>email>accounts. The problem is that even though it is disabled, the emails are still syncing. When I open the email app and check the settings there sync is still checked and greyed so I can't uncheck it
So noboby else has this problem or a solution?
Try disabling it through settings. So go settings, accounts, your email account and uncheck sync email.

Okay, maybe you were talking about the same thing. It sounds like you meant the email app settings, I was talking about the main account settings. That's an odd one. I disable sync on my Gmail all the time, what app are we talking about

If you are rooted, try Greenify. If your email app is a system app, you must convert it to a user app in order for Greenify to work.

MailDroid allows this. I have it set to close the connection when I exit and then check email at least every three hours, or when I log in.

Seems when you register your google account it automatically pulls pictures from your Google + Account and Picasa into your Gallery..
I do not want that, eats up storage space and I rather not have those pictures on there
So far the only solution I have found to this is to delete my Gmail account off the tablet which I dont want to do..
Any other sugestions to delete this pictures or just get rid of them
Cant delete already tried that, once synced up they are there for good it seems
Have you tried going into Settings> Accounts, selected your Google account and unchecked Picasa?

When the account is setup, you can click on the account and it will give you all the Google services you can sync. You are able to uncheck Picasa.

Now that there are so much options for push messages in the new facebook app and the messenger was integrated, I thought that the push messages would finally work. But they don't. Is there something I have to set up for it to work?
I mean what the hell is so difficult to make that feature work? I don't get any notifications for new messages, not to mention about any friend requests, likes etc.
Do other apps' push notifications work well for you?

Yes, this problem only exists for the facebook app! The messenger app does work fine though.

Did you ever log into your fb account with a blackberry? Because that seems to activate push notifications somehow.
Check your phones settings. Settings > Accounts & Sync.
Check your push frequency within the Facebook Application. Unsure of where it is. I deleted the application all together. Too much of a battery drain. Good luck

What other apps can you suggest? The latest Facebook sucks, it shows that I have new messages but it doesn't show the message itself, only from browser.

Is there a way I can get my phone to prompt me for which email client I want to use when clicking an email link? Under settings in App Associations I have it set to the built in email.apk, however I can only change it to Gmail, I want to clear it completely so it will ask me. Right now I have to cut the email address and paste it into Gmail if that's what I want to use. Is there an app that can do this?
Settings > apps > stock email app > clear defaults

Thanks for the response, unfortunately I tried that already and it just goes right back, I believe because it's set under App Associations.

I've never heard of a settings section for app associations. Which ROM are you on?

I've hardly had either installed. Looks like you should be able to set it to Gmail just fine, though I think I remember reading recently that app associations were screwed up on sense 4+.You could always disable the stock email app in settings as well.

I use the stock email app for my work Exchange account and Gmail for my personal email. I often work from my phone so I would like to find a way to have my phone prompt me for which account I would like to send from everytime I click an email address or mailto link. I have been trying to look for an app that can do it but haven't had any luck. Maybe Tasker could do it?

I don't think tasker has that ability. Have you checked the viper ROM thread to see if anyone else had the same problem?
Email App issues
Whenever i delete a email it doesnt seem to actually delete them as when i go onto my PC there all there :S
is there a way to fix this issue?
also i have noticed theres no option to sync emails using email check frequency as theres no "Auto" option only manual and mins there after
i wish there was a way to get the stock android email app
does anyone have any ideas?
thanks in advance as always
Well, does the email service you're using use IMAP or POP3? If you don't know what these are, then Google it. It'll take you 30 seconds.

Check incoming settings for the account. If it's imap, then there's no option to delete from the server, if it's pop3 then you have the option to delete from server when deleting on device.
AFAIK outlook is only imap these days. But hunt for pop3 settings with Google, there may be a work around.

Maybe not related but I read in one of the reviews there's a problem in the default exchange email client of the phone that needs fixing by an update and the reviewer recommends another app like Nine (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ninefolders.hd3). But I think it was about asking for a pin+password to login while other apps don't.
I installed nine, but it doesn't allow the combined inbox view, which I always use having 4 different email accounts. Also, I cant tell if it auto syncs either.
Wouldn't this be something related to the power saving options such as if you have stamina mode enabled, it overrides any scheduling you have set in the app? (Sorry if this isn't helpful as I don't have the phone yet myself).

I agree with this and also if you have the Qualcomm battery guru installed, delete it as it also messes with push notifications.
