Gmail App vs HTC email app

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.

Thanks! but upon reading the reviews, a lot of complaints about it draining the battery though.

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.

[app] hotmail?

Anyone found an APP that will work with Hotmail with a Captivate? Stock, tablet and even K-9 don't support it. There must be a decent one out there! Thanks!

I just forward my live account to my gmail.

Stock email app works like a charm with hotmail. I got 2 accounts configured under it and my local provider email also. Never had issues getting hotmail.
If you want to fully managed your hotmail (delete mails on server) then your right default email app on the cappy cannot do it but it can fetch the mail.
EDIT: Tried delete on the server option and it works. Fluke bug probably.

Do a Google search on "Hotmail activesync android" and you should be on your way use stock email to do push Hotmail. server deletion is supported last time I checked.

Correct .. last time i tried it failed miserably.. maybe just a bug or a bad connection.

Haven't tried it personally, but I do use Maildroid for gmail,Yahoo, and my ISP email. All set to push, even free Yahoo.

I used the exchange server for hotmail on my Captivate, worked fine with the stock email. Set it up as exchange, using m.hotmail.com as the server. Your username is your full email address. I don't have a Captivate anymore so I don't know if you need anything else (like port numbers). Google should give you the rest.
Also, if you set it up as exchange you can choose to sync your contacts and calendar with hotmail.

For the record, i've even gotten my [email protected] account to work with exchange server
Set your username as your email address, and m.hotmail.com as the server.
Use the 'allow all certificates' setting.
Just in case someone searches for this thread later...

Official Microsoft application for multiple Hotmail account
https://market.android.com/details?...lt#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ob3RtYWlsLlo3Il0.

Doesn't look like it is working with ICS. Does not show up in the market when I search from Galaxy Nexus. Any ideas?
I would love to use native client, and keep my built-in e-mail or 3rd party just for my work exchange server..
Thanks!

What you mean with "push"? Original mail client always have pop3, imap and exchange protocols.

Email clients usually pull (sync) from the servers at intervalls set by the user.
Push gets the messages in realtime.

Yeah - it's ActiveSync. Just select Exchange and you will get push email if your server supports it.

Hi guys, I'm a noob so just jumping in on this thread with my question. I have stock 4.0.3 on my Note and while I love the native email app it doesn't seem to have push capabilities for my Gmail account. Someone mentioned using exchange-how should I do this? I let it do the automatic setup when I registered my email-should I do the manual setup instead?

1. Why use email app for gmail, when gmail app supports push?
2. If you need it anyway, it shouldn't be too hard to find on google (i hope) search for gmail and exchange

I don't particularly like the Gmail app. No reason why, I just prefer the style of the stock email app.
As for push, it works fine now. I just had to do a manual setup rather than the automatic setup.

[Q] Push Gmail with Native Mail App

I apologize in advance if this has been answered somewhere as I couldn't find anything relevant when I searched. I am trying to enable push email on my Gmail account using the native app. I know this can be done with the Gmail app but is there a way to active push on the native app with Gmail?
Many thanks for the help.

Just use exchange for now till they kill it soon.
Server is m.google.com
