My mother use i9000 and she can't zoom in gmail application.
I try settings, menu but there is no option for zoom inside of Email. She complain that font is too small.
So is there any solution for this ? But without changing application ?
you can easily use pinch and expand to zoom in and zoom out
just like iphone
Pinching doesnt work with gmail app. You have to use samsungs email app. Open your gmail account with samsungs email app and you should be good to go...

I can't zoom in gmail... Has there been some sort of update that my phone has failed to recognize?
[EDIT]
The default e-mail client is kinda useless if it doesn't support nested conversations and push e-mail, especially considering how laggy it is... Why doesn't google's own client work with zooming?

True,
there are 2 email software included with the phone.
I always use the Samsung Push Email (Samsung Hub) you can configure all your email accounts Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo mail, etc
and you can zoom and unzoom by pinching the email.
Now I have the Froyo (jpk) ROM and I can't remember if I already had the option before.
But now in GMail app, in settings you can choose the text size.

I'm still debating whether i should use the gmail app or the native email one for my 3 gmail accounts
gmail app: push mail
default mail: better layout (simpler layout, dark theme)
Which one do you guys use and why?

Gmail because of Push and because I like the way it displays the emails--I think it does better with downloads and embedded images than the stock app, plus I think it organizes my messages better too.
What do you think the data consumption differences are? Also what do you mean by organizing your messages?
BTW did you notice that when composing a message, both gmail and the defaul app look identical?

I think Gmail app is less data because it isn't downloading the messages like stock Mail does.
Never noticed that about composition. I will take a look tomorrow.

What do you mean? You can view the downloaded messages offline with the gmail app.
This is probably an android noob thing, but I cannot seem to understand how to use the "email" app and the "gmail" app.
I want to use the stock/default android email app, you know, the one with the black background? However, I am seriously annoyed by the fact that when I receive a single new email, I get two notifications in the notifications bar; One from the gmail app and one from the stock/default email app.
How do I use this? It's required to set up a gmail account for marketplace to work. But I hate replicate notifications.
Do I just delete one entirely from the app folder?
Whats the best way to work along/around this?
You can turn off the Gmail apps notifications by delving into it's settings.
Go to gmail app, hit menu, go to more, select settings, uncheck Email Notifications. Gmail app will no longer notify you.
but if you just turn off the notification it will still be syncing in the background so if you dont want to use the gmail app go into accounts & sync and under your mail address uncheck sync gmail
the gmail app is used for just that, gmail. the email app is used to connected to exchange servers, pop3 accounts, imap accounts, basically any email that isnt gmail.

you get two notifications because you have set up your gmail account on Email app. Gmail app is way better than Email app (my opinion)
Option1: Delete gmail account from Email app and just use the Gmail app.
Option2: Go to Gmail app settings and disable notifications and use Email app (it will still be synchronizing).
Option3: Uninstall Gmail app and use Email app.

Agreed!
If only I could make my ActiveSync account (work Exchange) to use the Gmail app for mail display instead of Email.apk's viewer.
Personally I think the Gmail app sucks ****. Its so annoying to see the Gmail notification (like push email) and then only go into Mail to actually read it after hitting refresh.
Real cockup in my opinion, but then again I don't hold android in the highest light anyway.
I personally like the gmail app. I never need to press refresh. My push works great. I see the notification or the green trackball (color I set for gmail) then pull down menu and select the notification for Gmail and it loads that message right up.

That's pretty much wrong if I understand you correctly. If I get a notification from the Gmail app of a new mail, I press it and it's right there in my inbox without having to refresh it first.
I also like the Gmail app better than the built-in e-mail app.
The Gmail Push?
I have nexus one, it normally syncs every hour (i set it so)..
Why dont I get the push option? (my operator supports push mail)
If you use Gmail app - the push is automatic and the only way. You don't configure the sync time, because it has no such option.
If you use Email app for Gmail - check if you can set it to Automatic(Push) option (it's the topmost option on the list).
If you set Gmail as Exchange, it can push. If it's set as IMAP then it has to be set to poll.
Ok did that, and and yeh, its push.
Its a lil slow though (it gets a lil delayed).. but Im glad it works..
I have a question about the gmail app vs the preinstalled email app.
I know the official gmail app recieves gmail instantly when they come, but can i just unistall the gmail app itself, an use the gmail setting in the standard email app, an still get emails instantly?
The gmail app pushes notifications to your phone. The email app pulls them to your phone.
The benefits of push are 1.faster notifications 2.better battery life because google's servers are doing most of the work.
when i hade my iphone 4 non of the emails were push but i had my gmail setup as a microsoft exchange and changed some setting and i was getting my gmail pushed dont know if this is the same as htc mail app
Is it possible with gmail application to show the number of new unread email on the icon?

Yes it is if you download Gmail Unread Count from the Market.
Is there anyway to set this up to where gmail will push emails to the htc app rather than the stock gmail app? Id like to just use the htc email app instead of having my gmail sent to a seperate app.

You can add gmail as the mail provider but I don't think it will push though. You can setup when it should sync though.

I have my yahoo an hotmail setup that way, but my other 2 gmail accounts is through the gmail app. It would be nice to be able to remove the gmail app an have it push straight to the htc app though.
I know it is a late reply but i stumble on this one through google search, so maybe others are too.
Solution to get push mail in your htc mail app, is to add gmail account through exchange/active sync. Then you can set it to push as the refresh interval. You don't need the gmail-app anymore.

The stock email app syncs Hotmail fine. Just input your email and password. It does the rest. If you want push then you can setup your Gmail account to retrieve your Hotmail and then have it pushed to the phone via the Gmail app.

I just use the app "Hotmail" which should be the first result in the market.
The only problem with any hotmail app so far is there's no text selection and copy/paste. I often track packages and I have to open dolphin browser and copy/paste my tracking number. (Dolphin has a great text selection method, similar to iphone with the magnifying glass).
I believe you can add your gmail account to the stock email app so gmail will show up on the watch but do incoming gmail have the push feature in the stock app?
Thanks

What is the name of the stock email app, trying to get step by step instructions to this.
The stock app auto-configures Gmail as "push." I'm guessing it's IMAP behind the scenes and it only applies to e-mail, not tasks or the calendar.
Try this, it is working for me for Hotmail.com and Gmail.com accounts.
1- Went to Stock email app(looks like a white envelope with @ symbol in middle.
2- Created hotmail.com account(dont go through manual process of setting account) and selected "push" for sending emails to Note/Gear. Put your email address and password, follow the steps and you are done.
3- Create gmail.com account and do the same as step #2.
4- Go in your Note to Settings-General-Accounts. Select the Google account and hit enter, Uncheck box by Sync Gmail.
This is how I have it set up and Hotmail as well as gmail emails are coming into the Note and Gear.
Someone correct me if I am wrong.

I am getting proper notifications for Gmail account by pushing the mails to the stock Email app also.
It's working very nicely.
If you set up Gmail in the stock email app, can you still use the Gmail app to read and rely on the phone?
I like the Gmail app as it is seamless between phone and laptop in terms of marking as read, sorting into folders etc.

Yes you can still use the gmail app on the phone just fine.
my email notification is not working as well. tried wit imap and pop but it's not showing
guys anyone here with a working email notification?
You need to enable the pop3 support in the Gmail settings page first before adding the Gmail account to the stock Email app.

You need to use stock email app and when you get to a screen about server, there is a drp down option and select push. You need to also go in your ear app and in setting, there is a section for choosing which apps to send to Gear. Select stock email app, send yourself a test email and should work.

That's exactly what I did, no notifications though

See post above me. Make sure you DO NOT choose MANUAL in the stock email app when setting the gmail account choose the option to the right of that for the system to do it all for you. In the next page I believe is where the drop down option at the top is to select PUSH.
If you like, send me a pm with your phone number and I can call you when you want. I think that will be easier than trying to go back and forth with emails.

Yes, in the PC browser, go to your Gmail page and then to Settings.
There you will see tab menus on the top. Choose Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.
Then, you will see the option to enable POP.
After that, you can just add an account in the stock email app to deliver Gmails with the option of "push" delivery automatically.

Weird as I did not have to touch my MAC to get the emails from Gmail to work with my Gear. All I did was set up the account in the stock email app, select the auto set up, select PUSH in the next setting screen and voila, emails coming to the Gear. I did have to go into the Gear app setting and check the email app to send notifications to the Gear.
All is well in my world and hope we can help one another get their emails and texts going.
Want to remind everyone that only the stock text and email apps are allowed to send info to the gear. If you are using something else, you may get the notification but, nothing else. You will then have to go into the phone to view the text or email.

I've had the same issue, no notification at all, i've tried everything, but now solved it.
Everytime i've sent e "test-mail", my phone (galaxy note 2) was not in sleeping mode. As i gave up trying, suddenly my Gear was pushing a new mail that came in.
So for me, it only works when the phone is not awake (what makes sense in my opinion). Hope that helps someone others problem too.
Good luck.

That makes sense to me. I don't want the notifications to clog up my watch if I am already looking at the phone.
That only wastes the battery life of the watch. Smart!
