Default account in Gmail with multiple accounts - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The question is simple but I can't figure how to do it.
I got a Gmail account, and I use it with the Gmail application.
Now that it support multiple accounts I add a Microsoft live email to it.
It work nice, but the problem is that when I write a new email, it's always the Live address that is being used! And I don't want that.
How can I said the application I want it to use the Gmail account by default?
Thanks.

Adding two gmail accounts to Hero

Hi,
How can I add two gmail accounts if one is a regular [email protected] and the other account is a domain setup under google apps. At the moment I have the [email protected] setup as my main account but would also like to setup my google apps domain account, which at the moment I can only view via m.google.com.
you can treat it as though it is normal email account, i.e. use email instead of the gmail app

Use IMAP rather than POP3 should resolve it.
If you want POP3 only option is a software to move mail to another folder within that mail account as it only removes mail from inbox.
I use POP3 & POMO to move my important mail to folders created by me & delete junk or leave it in inbox, works well for my usage requirements.
Thanks but gmail is already IMAP as far as I know! Am I wrong? So what can I do? To set again from the beggining my account and choose IMAP server? In what software did yoy refer to? sorry for my bad english

default setup is IMAP.
when I used IMAP all mail stays present in inbox.
I use POMO to organise mail with simple rules & move mail to another folder in my POP3 accounts so they are not deleted on next send/receive.

I managed to fix that! I didnt use that programm but with many "magic" and with little bit luck I fixed that prob in gmail an hotmail too! Thanks for help

If you gMail set as an IMAP account, you can use it as an Exchange server. In ActiveSync on your HD2, select 'configure server' and enter 'm.google.com'. Use your gMail account details as the user. Remember to de-select calendar and contacts etc unless you want to sync those with Google as well. The advantage of this setup is that you can set the email schedule to collect mail as it arrives. It does use more power so I use it during work hours only.

[Q] What counts as a google account?

I just got my note the other day and when it asked for a google account I just entered my gmail account since that was the first thing that popped into my head. I hardly use my gmail though since I only made it for my cosplay profiles on facebook and google+. I added another account to my phone logging in with my yahoo email since my yahoo email is linked to my main google+ and youtube. Now since my yahoo is linked to youtube and google+ does that count as a google account or does a google account have to be with gmail? I tried to un sync my gmail account from my phone but I was told I would have to put the phone back on factory settings so I just un synced the email part of the account.
When I start buying music and videos from the play store I do not want things to get confusing so since I have logged into my phone using my yahoo account and un synced the email part of the gmail account does that mean any purchases will be linked to the yahoo account with google+ and youtube? Should I link my yahoo to my gmail or would that just make things more confusing? I just switched over from an iphone so I am still trying to figure all this out.
Leave Yahoo mail and just use gmail and all the confusion goes away. Send an email to all contacts about the email address switch and leave Yahoo synced to gmail for awhile until the switch is complete then you can delete it. email accounts are disposable these days.
Btw as to what counts as a google account. The answer is of course a google account :/

whos on first??
just use gmail and link your yahoo to your gmail account, and you can send and receive emails through yahoo via the gmail app... you will have to link the accounts in gmail settings:good:
So linking my yahoo and gmail will just make it so my yahoo is connected to my gmail and I will basically get all my yahoo emails in my gmail account? As for deleting my yahoo won't that mess up my facebook and google+ accounts though as I use that email to log in to them? As I mentioned in my first post I use my gmail for my cosplay accounts on facebook and google+ so if I delete my yahoo email wouldn't I be locked out of logging into my normal facebook and google+ accounts since my gmail is already in use?
You dont have to delete anything. You can keep your yahoo account for emails and user your gmail for the phone.
Also download the yahoo mail app or use the stock email app fpr emails of nongoogle accounts. Simple

Ok so just combine the 2 accounts? And that won't affect my 2 facebook, twitters, and google+ accounts? Even with the accounts merged I can still log into my normal social media accounts with yahoo and my cosplay ones with gmail? Any purchases I make in the playstore will be linked to that one big account? I just want to make sure I absolutely understand before I do this.
To merge the accounts, in gmail I go to settings>accounts and import>send mail as (add another email address you own)> then when the window pops up type in my name and e mail address and un check the alias box, select send through gmail, then send verification.
Use your yahoo as a Gmail account. If it won't let you through the phone I believe you can do it on YouTube. I have a yahoo Gmail secondary account.
Your Gmail account for the phone doesn't have to end in Gmail.com

If you want to keep your Yahoo email address as your main address you can (My google account ends with @msn.com)
Go to google and create a new Account. Use your yahoo address as your username. You'll be able to log in to Google products using this username, just keep in mind that even if it has the same name as your Yahoo account it is a different account.
Once you are all set up with your new Google account add your existing GMail account. From this point you'll be able to log in using your Yahoo name, but Google will say that your default account name is your GMail name. (When I flash a new rom and I enter my Google info I always use my @msn.com account and Android is smart enough to synch with my gmail account).
Now that you have a Google Account and GMail go to your Yahoo e-mail service and set it up to forward all your e-mail to your gmail account (I did this in hotmail). From now on all your Yahoo mail will be delivered to GMail. You can use the Gmail app in android to view all your mail. You can add more e-mail accounts if you want. Doing this all your Facebook, Tweeter, etc accounts that are linked to your Yahoo account don't need to be changed and all the notifications will pop up in GMail.
Another thing to do in GMail settings is to chose the account that will be default when you reply to a message. In this step I chose my @msn.com account. All my contacts keep sending messages to my @msn.com account and they have no idea I'm using Google. When they receive an e-mail from me it looks like if it was sent from my @msn.com account, even tough I used GMail.
Do some research in GMail settings. You can add several accounts and manage them from one centralized location. If you want to differentiate between e-mail received you can always set default labels depending on the account where the e-mail was received originally.
Ok I have enough information I I understand what you guys are saying now. Plus I logged into google play from my web browser using my google+ log in that uses my yahoo and it worked so pretty much all my questions have been answered. Thank you to all of you who helped me out.

GMAIL and MS Exchange simultaneously sync

Hello guys,
I have a common quesiton about synchronising my gmail and Exchange (work) account with my HTC Desire HD Android Version 2.3.5
At the moment I synchronise my gmail accoutn with mail, calender, tasks and phone directory.
For future use I want to synchronise with Exchange from work, even the same functions like gmail.
For gmail I use the given gmail-mail program which is implemented with Android.
For Exchange I'd like to use the "Mail" function which is also a standard tool from Android.
My question:
1. I've seen that there is the possibility to show or not show different calenders, phone books etc. When I creat the Exchange additionally to the gmail account, is there a complete new calender built with the Exchange rules or does it use my gmail calender? The same for phone directory.
I want to avoid that the two accounts will be fully mashed in the future. So, if I quit my workplace I want to delete the Exchange account and all work information will be lost but not my personal gmail account, settings and personal data like calender, phone directory etc.
2. Is the Exchange completely separated to the gmail account?
I'm a littel bit frightend to configure the Exchange accoutn because I don' want to mix up the two accounts.
I hope I wrote it in a understandable way and not redundant to an existing article.
Thanks a lot and regards
The email app and the gmail app are different, are independent one of the other. You'll have no problem, nor with the contacts.
