HTC email apps not syncing w/ gmail - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The HTC email apps on my Sprint Hero are not auto syncing with my gmail.
The gmail email app is auto syncing just fine, I receive emails immediately but only in my gmail brand inbox. They are not automatically going to my HTC device inbox or the HTC email widget.
Basically, if I want to get push email I have to use my gmail specific inbox.
If I want to use the HTC inbox or email widget then I dont get the luxury of push email.
I can use them both but then I get 2 notifications for each email.
Any solutions?
I know I could just set my HTC email to update every 5 minutes but that's an awful lot of battery to burn...
Is there a way to have my gmail pushed or auto synced to my HTC email apps as well as my gmail branded email inbox?
Is this already supposed to happen? Could I have broken something rooting? All I have done with root access is remove some sprintware following the safe app removal thread and installed THIS OPTIMIZER.
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!!

Gmail support MS Exchange push, and you can set the HTC Email app up to use it. You can also turn off email notifications on the Mail app, if you want to use both Gmail and HTC mail.

Dave

Hero Email issue

I have original HTC hero Rom 1.5 Android, waiting for 2.1. My issue is, the email application doesn't check my emails as per schedule and I don't get notified of nothing although notification sound is on, send and recieve polling check is every 2 hours. I can send emails fine I cannot recieve most of the time. My hotmail account doesn't work at all, I got all the settings from hotmail website.
In k9mail, I get old messages as new every single day so I uninstalled it.
Thx.....
Check you dont have a task killer that is killing the mail app so its not checking like it should.
Failing that get your current email (hotmail, yahoo mail, whatever it is) to forward emails to a gmail account, that way you get push emails.

[Q] Push for Gmail

Is gmail push mail? I know my hotmail account which is setup on the email app is.
But when I send a mail to both accounts, the hotmail one always arrives before and the gmail one waits until auto sync.
Im no expert on this, so any clarification would be appreciated.
Yes It has push mail. Just mark auto sync from accounts and sync. But there is a problem when using it in wi-fi connection. You can fix it like this way:

[Q] push yahoo emails to phone setup?

How can I setup my yahoo email account to push the emails to my phone instead of having the phone checking for them every 15 minutes?
pushing emails to the phone is better for battery life so that is why I am asking.
maybe there is a way to connect my yahoo email to the gmail app, so that way emails will be pushed to my phone through gmail..?
Yeah, you can use POP or IMAP, I forget which to have gmail grab your yahoo mail for you. You set it up through gmail.
I don't think yahoo has exchange settings.

use IMAP
here are the settings that have always worked for me:
Edit: nevermind, read the OP incorrectly... my badd
Yahoo doesn't use the standardize IMAP - Idle. It's a variation of P-IMAP that Apple and Yahoo "made up" with various protocols
Long story short... there is only ONE app I know that works with Yahoo's Push. Maildroid
There is a Yahoo email app in the market. Not sure if it's what you're looking for though, as I haven't used it.
I think you can do one of two things:
1) setup your gmail to pull emails from your yahoo mail account. Problem is that you can't send via yahoo mail account, using this method.
2) you can download the Yahoo Mail app but reports show that its a battery killer.
I think Yahoo wont let you push mail directly from them unless you pay for their premium service or use their own Yahoo app
OP, go to GMail settings on your desktop. Set it up to retrieve emails from your Yahoo mail account. You can also set a label for all the email from Yahoo. It will then push them into your Gmail app with proper label. Gmail server will automatically figure out the interval it will check for the mail from Yahoo so your phone don't have to do it.
Yahoo mail is one of the worst mail servers for Smartphones.

there, fixed it for ya
ugh, it won't let me set it up through gmail because i dont have the yahoo! mail plus.
any other ideas on how to push yahoo email to my phone?
i know moving to using just gmail would be an option, but that would take entirely too long to change all my email addresses on all the sites i visit to a gmail address.

I remember I had this issue setting up yahoo mail on my captivate with the stock email. I never use my yahoo account, I don't even know why I have one. I figured I would give it a try on the SGS II for kicks. The settings look like they are specific for Samsung phones (and different than the previous screen shots). Can you manually enter these settings into gmail?
Incoming settings:
Outgoing settings:
Of course replace my email address with your own.
My other suggestion would be yahoo settings. Can you set a yahoo account to auto-forward?

figured it out using this tutorial:

instead of using Asia location, use UK.
worked and now yahoo mail is being forwarded to gmail!
soooo relieved. thanks for your help

[Q] Sense Mail App Marks all Gmail as Unread

Hi, I searched the forums but could not find any thread that dealt with this issue (for any phone), so I apologize if it's already been posted. And since I don't know if this is just an issue with the Rezound, I'm posting it here.
When I set up my Rezound I entered in my Google account info, and the phone automatically set up my Gmail account both in the Gmail app and in the stock HTC Sense Mail app. The Gmail app seems to work fine, but the stock email app doesn't sync the read status of new messages. If I get any emails in Gmail during the day, even if I log into it on my computer and read the messages, they still show up as unread in the sense mail app. Refreshing the app doesn't change anything. In the Gmail app, the messages will be marked as read if I have viewed them anywhere else.
I can't figure out how to fix this, and there doesn't seem to be a way to edit any server settings for the account, as sense has it registered as a Gmail account in the stock mail app, and not as a pop/imap account.
Anybody having this problem, or know how to fix it? I'm a new android user, and have only had this phone for a few days. Thanks.
Just take the gmail email out of the htc mail and just use the gmail email app to get your gmail mail.

I would like to avoid doing this if possible. I like having all my mail in one place. Any way to fix the stock app?
Email htc/usa and ask them. It only takes one second to push the gmail app,that's what I do. I understand you don't want to do that. Htc should be able to tell you how to change the settings.

I got an official reply from HTC:
Thank you for contacting HTC Technical support about the issue you are having with your Gmail account on your device. I do apologize that you have this issue with your device and I will gladly assist you with this today. We recommend you delete your Gmail account from the mail application on your device and use the Gmail application for your Gmail account on your device. The issue you are having it with the way the Gmail POP3 servers work with the Mail application on the device and there is not a setting to make it sync up to have the mail show up read until you up it on your device.
Click to expand...

So it looks like, for whatever reason, the Gmail setting in the sense email app defaults to POP3, even though I have IMAP enabled in my gmail web settings. Unless anyone knows a way to fix this, I guess I will have to either set Gmail up as a regular IMAP account or just use the standalone application.
Thanks for the replies

[Q] Inbox By Google

Do you need to have GMail still installed on your phone to receive push notifications? Ever since I uninstalled GMail I no longer get any push notifications for Inbox. I have Inbox set to sync for every label so I don't get it! If anyone could clarify this for me I'd greatly appreciate it.
In settings, accounts, google, is inbox checked for sync?
You don't need the Gmail app btw.
