For specific Google accounts? Yes, go into Settings->Accounts and tap the account you want to change. You can turn off some of all of the items to sync.

Google Email

Ok, I have the GMAIL app configured to send/receive Google mail and well as mail from my ISP account. Is there a way I can configure the app on the myTouch so it is easier to tell each provider appart?

Just go into your GMail account and create labels and filters and you will be able to tell as they come in.
Yup just create a filter and a corresponding label.
That's how I do it.
will check it out...thanks guys

Are you saying that the Gmail app can be used to access a second email account, in addition to the main Gmail account for syncing? If so, how? Thanks.

You have to forward your second email account to your gmail account.

No, a better solution is to go into your GMail settings and have it fetch your emails from the secondary acct via POP3.

is it possible?

No, the phone and gmail app are tied to one account. However, you could always access additional gmail accounts through the phones web browser.
To sign in to another gmail account; you would have to wipe your phone to factory defaults and when prompted, enter the new gmail address.
You cannot have two Gmail accounts on the phone, mainly because it'll cause conflicts with the Market application and also when syncing.
Doesn't gmail on 2.1 allow you to have more than one account?

[Q] Disable syncing contacts from google acct

Hi,
Previously I was using a Dell Streak and I was able to disable contact syncing with my Google accounts.
Actually I have 2 google accounts and I wanna sync only contacts with one of them.
On Galaxy Note , I couldn't find the setting to disable contact syncing with one account.
How can I do that ?
thx.
Hi,
I really need a solution for this because I've duplicate contacts now.
Any idea on how to delete contacts from one Google account on the phone ?

Go to contacts--Options--More--Accounts
Select the account you dont want your contacts to be merged from. Uncheck "Sync Contacts"
Hope that helped.
Cheers
thanks. that option disables further sync of contacts from that account but it didn't delete the contacts coming from that account.
How can I delete existing contacts of that account ?
Also, I need the similar for calendar. Is there similar option ?

All'ite. Why don't you do this?
At this step you have disabled syncing your contacts to an account;lets call that account GAcc2. Lets call the account that you would like the contacts to be synced/Displayed from as GAcc1
Now you want to delete the contacts that have been synced from GAcc2.
So Go to Contacts--More--Display Options--Accounts and select contacts to be displayed only from GAcc2(i.e. uncheck the contact boxes for GAcc1). After this step the contacts that are displayed are only from GAcc2(the one you don't want). Simply select all the contacts and delete them. So this means we deleted "ONLY" GAcc2 contacts.
After this step again go to "Display Options" and under accounts select GAcc1.
and voila you will have only GAcc1 contacts left.
Do the same with calendar.
Hope that helped.
Cheers.
thank you. that's a good idea.
But when I delete from my Note, is there a risk of deleting them from Google acct GAcc2 ?
Also, some contacts are coming from both Google accounts. When I delete them, will I lose them from both accounts ?
And, how can I do that for calendar ? I can't find the correct app...
thx
Keep Auto Sync off, that will niether sync mail/contact/calender, when you need to sync it manually, just press on desire item n it will sync for that time only.
Further Now you can get Gmail with setup of Email application separately.

No that would be not an issue. Remember at that step you would have switched syncing to GAcc2 as "off". Just make sure you don't click "Merge with google".
If you are really scared and want to be backup proof i would suggest this;
I'm sure you would be having windows installed with Microsoft office. Microsoft office would have an app called microsoft exchange. Create a dummy account in exchange with a local Dat. Then go to google and search for tools to copy google contacts to exchange. There are plenty. Once you are done with that you would have a backup of your contacts. Similarly there are plenty of tools to do the reverse as well i.e. Microsoft Exchange -->Google server; this way you can restore it too.
Regarding the calendar its the same thing bro.
Browse to Settings-->Account and Sync--> select the account that you dont want calendar to be synced from-->Uncheck 'Sync Calendar'
Hope that helped.
Cheers.
Using Exchange Server with Android, without Google Contacts but with Market
THis post intended for people who use Exchange
Using Exchange Server with Android, without Google Contacts but with Market
To prevent your Google Accounts showing up in an Exchange Server minded device, uncheck autosync.
Create your Exchange account first, sync
Uncheck autosync
disable Wifi (your device must have slow connection)
Then add your google account.
Press Sync, but be DAMN fast to go to the account settings and quickly
uncheck the Contact,Calendar.
This way, you can have a fully Exchange server minded device, without
any junk from Google Downloaded, with Market access.

Moving contacts from google to hotmail following Active Exhange drop

Hi guys, so recently Google announced that they will be dropping support for active exchange. I'm a little confused as to what the implications are, but from what I understand, active exchange is responsible for syncing google contacts.
I have two accounts set up on my wp8, a Hotmail and a google account, and whenever I create new contacts I always save them to google...just because it's my primary email. But now i'm wondering, when Google finally flips the switch, will I have to say byebye to all of my contacts saved to google?
If so, whats the easiest way of moving my contacts to Hotmail, or doing a backup of all my contacts to outlook.com/Hotmail?
Thanks!

[Q] How to get GMail push ?

Hey all,
I am aware that Google has extended the expiry date for EAS. So this means we should still see the option for Push email, or the "as item arrives" setting while setting up email.
I only use GMail, no calendar.
I dont see the option of "as item arrives" in my GMail accounts when I set them up. My GMail settings are setup like that because I have been using Push on iOS and then Android for last 3 years.
How can I get the "as item arrives" setting to show up in GMail ? It does show in my hotmail account settings.
Device: Lumia 820 on Telstra (Australia)
I would suggest creating the Account as an "Outlook" Account on the phone and entering the server address manually, see: http://email.about.com/od/accessinggmail/f/Gmail_Exchange_ActiveSync_Settings.htm
You can then deactivate syncing of Contact and Calendar. I guess in your current Setup you are using IMAP to connect to GMail and WP does not support IMAP Push/Idle.

Yeah, this is correct. IMAP is the preferred choice isn't it ? Web GMail shows either POP or IMAP.
StevieBallz said:

OK, didn't know that. So what protocol do Hotmail use then for Push/idle ? Because my hotmail account is always up to date.........
Hotmail uses the Exchange ActiveSync Protocol. This is currently still supported for new Connections by GMail as well but will no longer allow new devices to be connected from July onward. If you select "Outlook" as account type for a new Account it will use EAS.
IMAP is what Google is currently pushing Non-Android users to use.
If you set up an account as "Gmail" on Windows Phone, it will give you the option for e-mail only or e-mail, contacts, and calendar. Even if you're not going to use the contacts and calendar sync, you must choose that option to get Exchange ActiveSync (while Google still allows you to set it up). If you choose e-mail only, it will only offer IMAP/POP.
