I am transitioning from an iPhone 5, that met a most unfortunate accident, to a Samsung 5S.
I have two G-Mail accounts. One is a corporate Google Apps account and the other is a G-Mail personal account.
I used the native G-Mail client to set up the accounts.
I have both mail boxes setup and I am a little disappointed that I must manually switch between mailboxes to see new mail from each account.
On the iPhone the two accounts in-boxes would have been merged to be visible as one large inbox. The accounts were still separated but the ability to see the new email in a combined inbox was tremendously helpful. I think it is called a unified Inbox? Where are these capabilities in the Samsung device?
Any help appreciated.
I have 2 email accounts and gmail on my S5. I barely use my gmail account. The other 2 accounts that I use is pop3 and exchange accounts. I have a widget where I have both email accounts. On the name I gave each account I can click to see one at a time or a combined view. The widget is the stock email widget. Hope this helps

does anyone know how to link up all your emails to one universal inbox a la blackberry??
The E-mail application has a combined inbox and combined starred.

But its not combined with google right? I see a separate app for Google push mail.
Just configure Gmail (using your PC) and add your various email accounts ("Accounts and import" settings tab). It automatically adds different labels for each email, thus on your Android phone you will see each email message in your inbox labeled accordingly. It is also good to check the "Reply from the same address the message was sent to"
check box in "Accounts and import" settings tab(using your PC).
This is how I used my G1 before selling it in order to buy a Nexus One
I realize that this is a google question, but also I noticed that on the N1 gmail client, I am NOT receiving the imported/forwarded mail from my old outside POP3 accounts that are normally (still) pulled into my web-based list of new mail on my primary gmail account.
Does anyone know why, or if there is a way to to fix this? The imported messages are not being pushed to the N1.
[UPDATE: It seems to have taken a while, but all of my imported POP3 mail is now being imported/pushed from my primary gmail account to the N1... thank you gmail!]
Can I sync all the emails I have 'attached' to outlook to my HD2 without having a whole bunch of different email inboxes for each email inbox on my phone? (I think I'm even a little confused with that sentence :s)
I use a personal gmail account and a seperate work account, both through outlook on the computer. Each having the same inbox is pretty nice. I was wondering if it was possible for the hd2 to 'send/receive' in the same email inbox for these two different emails? I'd like to use direct push and receive everything constantly, as promptness is my preference. Can I do it similarly to how I have it set up on the PC?
I gave this a quick look and didn't see a similar thread anywhere, and I hope this made sense. Please let me know what I can do to accomplish this.
Thanks in advance.
You could create a new gmail account, and then link your phone to that account. Forward all messages from both the work exchange account and current gmail account to that new account. Voila!
Otherwise, it's pretty impossible to get 2 push mail accounts into one account on the phone.
I hadn’t seen this in any of the reviews and I don’t use gmail (assuming that there are at least a few out there in the same boat), so I figured that it would be worth mentioning.
While I was excited to see the slick mail interface of gmail, I was concerned that (as part of some “Thou Shalt Use Gmail” initiative) the regular mail client would suck, but that’s not the case at all.
So far, it seems to work exactly like the gmail app (seen in videos/reviews).
I have 2 IMAP accounts plugged into it and it works like a champ.
There is a widget that you can add and point it to any specific account or a consolidated inbox. Right now, I have 2 widgets on my main home screen (one for each of my primary accounts).
Once inside the mail app, you can very quickly cycle between accounts or the consolidated inbox by clicking on the account name in the upper left corner.
Also, all of the server-side folders show up on the left. However, as worth a few mail apps in the past, it doesn’t show sub-folders under the 1st teir.
Very usable. Very happy.
Have you seen a way to reply to an email for one account, using the email address of your second account?
I have a POP3 account mixed with an Exchange account. I reply to a lot of emails on my Exchange account using the POP3 account on other devices (laptop/phone) but it won't allow me to choose which account to send email from on the fly.
I have Exchange and Gmail synced, and so far all I can see is that you can set the default mailbox to send from. Haven't seen the ability to switch on the fly yet.
So far, Exchange sync has worked flawlessly.
Hi There!
I want to configure my wife's Defy so she can get email from her gmail account.
I don't want it to be pop3, as I don't want to remove any of the messages from her gmail account, as she also gets her email via pop3 on her Desktop Outlook?
I see 2 different gmail options on her phone, is it an option to get some form of sync'd account or perhaps is Imap the only other option?
Cheers
You might have to enable IMAP in your Gmail account preferences, but you can also use POP3 and configure it to not delete the messages on the server.
Also from my experience the default mail application works better than the gmail one which is slow and doesn't always show latest messages to me.

Yah I am finding it hard to believe there isn't some form of activesync syncing option.
Does The S4's email app act as an email hub for multiple email accounts? For example if I have a gmail account, hotmail account and an email account using IMAP will all of the emails from those 3 accounts show up in a general pr all inbox? I did not feel comfortable adding email accounts to the S4 I used at the store to test this out.
Also with being able to have widgets in the lock screen, will the email app show email subject and who it is from on the lock screen like IOS?
Lastly does the email app on the S4 push hotmail and IMAP 24/7 like blackberry.
Gmail is still separate. Imap is not push but interval based from what I can tell, but you can combine all email but gmail into a universal inbox.

Gmail will work with the stock E-Mail app as well. Running now on my S4!
