Hi,
Just trying out Themer
The unread email count seems only able to use my gmail, which isn't my primary account. Are there any plans (or settings I'm missing) to get it to use the mail app instead where I have my pop3 and exchange accounts set up?

Hi, for now Themer only supports Gmail accounts. Adding in the rest of stock mail accounts as well as other 3rd party email accounts is an immense task, but the development will start working on it once we have more resources

Ahh, no problem - just checking I wasn't missing a magic option somewhere. Thanks!

I was coming here to ask the same question, so thanks for the answer.

Hi Folks,
I have been using an iPhone 3G till now and just made the switch to Android. Just received my Atrix today and spent time getting familiar with Android/Motoblur and setting things up.
Now, I am really confused between these three apps
1. Email
2. Messaging
3. Gmail
From the time I've spend playing around, I know that Email and Messaging look pretty much the same, except that messaging also has text messages. So why do we have these two separate apps? Then there is Gmail. If I have a gmail account, should I add it to the Motoblur accounts or set it up with the Gmail app? Why are there so many overlapping apps?
Basically all I want is a single app where I can check all my emails from different accounts just like iPhone's native email app.
Please be easy on me as I am an android newbie Thanks in advance!
- Gmail is Google's gmail app that supports multiple gmail accounts
- Email is Moto's email app that supports different types of email accounts (integrated with MotoBlur)
- Messaging is Moto's text and MMS app

"Messaging" actually integrates texts, GMail, and the MotoBlur Email client. There is also a "Text Messaging" app that just handles texts. If you use the "Messaging" widget, you can even get FB messages on it.
Oops, I stand corrected. Was thinking about the captivate's Messaging.

To answer your other question, if you want to use the Moto "Messaging" with Universal Inbox then all you have to do is go to Accounts and select Google at the bottom and deselect "Sync Email" and then just setup your Gmail through Moto's Email client and you can get all your emails (just once) in the universal inbox. If you use both then you will receive redundant notifications for your Gmail.
Please as title states, which email app do you guys prefer, on the sg2, and why please. I want to be able to use gmail, so jus want to findout what you guys are using, to receive or send your gmail emails. I also want the option to schedule the sync, so your input very much required.
I use the stock Gmail app for my gmail. gmail isn't my primary account so not bothered by any failings, etc.
I use K9 for my main non-gmail personal account. Am very happy with it, can schedule timings and specify a quiet time, when I don't want to be distured by email notifications (i.e. when I'm asleep).

I use gmail and have set it (via the web app) to collect hotmail and another pop3 account, so it's perfect for me as I have all emails in 1 app, and I do like the gmail app!
K9 Mail Sync settings.

Apologies for the delayed reply.
I think it's as follows:
Menu --> More --> Settings --> Account Settings --> Fetching Mail:
"Folder Poll Frequency".
Also under the above and within --> Advanced:
"Refresh IDLE connection".
I "think" that's what you're after... to be honest mine has always just worked.
Hope it helps!
i like samsung's email app. Only thing i cant figure out is how to put it to push.
I tried the Samsung E-Mail app but it really pissed me off more and more. You can hardly make any settings, just specify how many mails to load (timeframe) and how often to update, that's about it. the funtionality and look are standard.
I switched to K9 mail again and instantly remembered why I always came back to that app. Not only does my Push work flawlessly for both accounts (one business, one private that collects) without any "premium" account hassle making use of that annoying social hub, but I can specify all sorts of settings like how much data to transfer by default per mail, to load images, and many many more.

to make push work you have to set your mail account as an imap account. to do so you need to make it a premium account which leads you to samsung collecting your mails via the social hub ... I'd recommend k9 mail. looks the same, and you can make almost any necessary setting.
The stock Gmail app does everything I could ask for
I switched to EnhancedEmail when I used to have a DHD as the stock email client didn't sync contacts and calendars probably.
Enhanced did all the syncing perfectly, however, it just did not allow Exchange accout contacts to be created or added (i dont really know if the stock email client had the same problem or not).
With the SGS2, i used EnhancedEmail first, but recently switched to the stock samsung email client - it seems to work flawlessly, albeit, with the limitations to customisations stated by others. I use Exchange (both my my company email and hotmail) on Push, and at that, it is good enough for my usage.

Plus the stock mail app draines more battery then k9 due to being more active or active in the wrong way I don't know, but there is a big difference, at least on my phone.
Whats the difference? I can add my Gmail app to the built in email app, so doesn't that work the same? Whats the advantage of the official Gmail app? I just find it unnecessary to have all my emails in the built in email app and a separate app for just my Gmail. This is mostly just a curiosity post.

Email is able to use multiple accounts from multiple services, where as Gmail is only for Gmail.
The Email app is just for basic Email usage while the Gmail app has some Gmail specific features like Drive connection and what not. Personally, I always remove the Email app and install Gmail.

It probably has a lot of features I dont use. I was just curious. I have other email accounts (Yahoo, work, etc.) so I use the default app. Didnt really find the purpose of having one for just Gmail.

Just personal taste I guess. Since I only use Gmail, I just use that app.

I'm with you, never really use gmail, don't care for the layout
hate how emails show up in Gmail. it always does a zoomed in view and it wont let me pinch to zoom or change to overview. just makes me mad
The stock mail app doesn't have push option like it does for hotmail and live.
Anyway to have hotmail, live and Gmail in one app and have push mail?

I'm using ICS 4.0.3 and new to Android.
I have several email accounts Yahoo / Hotmail / Cablevsion / etc.
When setting up email accounts on my phone, is it best to setup a new email account for each of the above,
or is it better to setup Gmail to read them all and only view and send email through Gmail?

There is no "better" way to do this - you've got to do what suits you.
I do personally prefer to have all my emails picked up by Gmail though. I just find it easier having Gmail open on my PC for everything, getting all my emails effectively through one account. With incoming mail rules I can filter them to individual folders (labels), and even have notifications based on individual folders as well. For example, I don't get notifications for my work emails, but I can access them via Gmail. I do get notifications of all xda PMs and emails though.
That's just my preference though.

Archer,
Thanks for that reply. I was just wondering if best to have several icons on my device for each email account or if its best to let
Gmail do the work? I was looking for info from a users POV and appreciate your details.
So I guess you have no problem keeping track of sending and receiving from the various accounts, all through Gmail?
The labels (folders) are just on your desktop, or on both your mobile & desktop?
I've been reading about the core apps in development and have some questions about the Email Client (which I understand is a port of Trojita).
In reading about Trojita itself, it is exclusively an IMAP client. The developer's page s clear that it ISN'T a POP3 client. I know that my situation isn't unique, and my situation is this:
* 5 email accounts that I need to use POP3 for
* 1 email account that I need to use IMAP for
So what will be the solution for those who want to aggregate all their email accounts into one app, when they aren't all IMAP accounts?
Thanks,
Steve

Gmail is available and I believe it can consolidate POP3 and IMAP accounts at the server level. You could setup a separate Gmail account just to do that.

That's right. Trojita only supports IMAP. (Btw, if you want to give it a try, download Dekko from the Ubuntu Store which is a development snapshot of one of the developers. Trojita itself isn't available throught the store yet.)
Suggest you consider The Bat! developed by Ritlabs. :good:
