If email is open (regardless of if the phone is in standby) there are no notifications of email on the Tilt. This is pretty annoying because if I send an email I have to close email or else I won't have any sound notifications that i have a new email. Does anyone know a way around this to get notifications even if email is the running app? Thanks
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 use the Email app (Vegan 1.5.1) to check a pop email account. I get the new mail notification from it even when there's no "new" mail (i.e., I get mail, touch the notification to see the mail, and close the email).
I'm thinking it might be because some of them are unread, however, it would be nice if it only notified when there was actual new mail. Which I'm pretty sure is what the Gmail app does (I haven't noticed the same problems).
Is there any way to fix?
yea its because some of them are unread. Happens to me on my gtab and my droid 2
I'm not receiving new emails on the stock email app. I'm using the stock because Im also using Yahoo business email and Gmail as my personal at the same time. for me to see my new emails I have to open the app and click on refresh every time. can anyone tell me how to turn on push notifications that tells me when I receive new emails?
can anyone tell me if it's possible that I'm getting this problem because I have push notifications for both my emails on my iPad? I don't want to have to sign out of my email accounts on my ipad.
I've just got my first ever Pixel phone and must say I'm really liking it. Only issue I have is I'm not receiving any push notifications for my Hotmail account in the Gmail app. I've never used the Gmail app before but I don't think it's an issue with the app.
I've added my Hotmail account as an Active Exchange account, otherwise you don't get the push notification option. It's accepted the account fine and although push notifications is selected, it's not working. I have to manually refresh the page for new email to show.
Does anyone have a fix for this?
Edit: It does seem to the be Gmail app as I've installed another email app which receives push notifications just fine. Everything is enabled as it should be in the Gmail app.
