How to choose outgoing email account in 2.1 email app? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Thanks to htcclay's glorious SuperBad I am enjoying Eclair godness.
One thing I was wondering is, how can you choose the account which is used to send an email with the email app (not the GMail app!).
I have successfully set up an exchange email account and a private email account (imap) and do recieve emails (including push emails). The combined email inbox is great, too.
But if you use something like the 3d gallery app and want to share a photo, you can select email as the sharing option, compose the email BUT there is no option to choose from which email account to actually send the mail...? What am I missing here, tipps & hints welcomed ;-)

[Help] Which e-Mail App Do I Use?

On Cyanogen's ROM, there's 2 email apps. One called eMail and the other is Work Email. I want to sync my school email to the phone. So, I don't want it taking them off the server but just copying them. Anyway let me know which one I should be using, and maybe what's different about them?
I'd usually forward to my Gmail but my school filters out forwarded mail to Gmail.
You should use eMail for the task. Work Mail is to connect to exchange server.
My suggestion is K9 Mail. You can download from Market, and it has much more features than stock eMail app.
There is no free Mail app for Android I tried so far that I could say I like.
GMail app misses some important GMail functions, eMail app never ever shows me notifications even though I enabled them, Work eMail is exchange only with nearly no options and K9 has graphical, usability and speed issues.
Maybe I should try Touchdown Exchange for my University Mail (which uses exchange).
Are there any other Mail apps someone could recommend?

[Q] Several email accounts - which client to use?

I have several email accounts... they are all POP3 accounts. On my pc I have Outlook, Thunderbird, and Pegasus as clients... and I telnet into my shell account for the fourth email account. (None are gmail accounts)
I'd like to have at least some of them on my Xoom... At the very least, I'd like m work email and one of my personal email accounts on my xoom.
I currently have no email clients configured...
What would be the best way to go about this??
I don't need the messages all downloaded... I'd rather just get headers for them and if I want to read a certain message then it would download the body.
Is that even possible??
Thanks!!
K-9 Mail, available free in the market, will do what you want.

[Q] Immediate email notification????

I am using cammster.com as one of my security applications at home. it sends me an email when it detects motion. However, I cannnot seem to find a friendly app that will send am email immediately to my Sprint Hero.
What free email program and app can I use that will send me an email when cammster sends it out, and notify me right away.
I have tried a google account (gmail), but it seems to want to check for emails at predefined intervals when using the main email client (that I also use for a work (exchange) email address).
I tried a yahoo (ymail) app and email addy, but it would conflict with my work email and stop the program from receiving the work or the ymail mail.
I quickly tried K9 app, but couldn't figure out how to use it with the yahoo mail to notify me immediately of the new email
Any suggestions?!?!?
The gmail client does push notifications. You should use the gmail client not the mail client for a google account (gmail).

Are you on a Rom? Or are you on the stock sense rom? I am curious because sense is a bit more friendly with accounts and sync.. in the settings menu, there is actually a section called "Accounts & Sync". In there, you can enable background data and auto-sync. It will probably not be instantaneous, but honestly, your battery would die immediately if your phone was constantly checking your email. I suggest WildHeroc as it is currently the bomb digity. Have a good night.

[Q] Change default GMail sending address

Hi guys,
I'm having a rather strange issue since I got my Black, as I've set up two different GMail accounts on my device, my personal account (to which the phone is also registered to), as well as another "work" gmail account to which all my work emails are being forwarded to.
The actual problem is each time I want to send an email via gmail (for example, I'm checking out a photo, hit share, select gmail), it automatically selects the second account added, and I've found no way to select the default "send from" account. Any clue how can I tell the phone which email address I want to send emails from by default using the gMail app?
thanks!

Enabled pop3, then add the hotmail account to Gmail, it will download the messages. Alternatively add to a local email client and download all of the messages from hotmail.
Thanks for your suggestion but now I'm using a trial version of an offline Mail Backup X tool to backup my hotmail mails
