So it seems like most of the sense (which i LOVE so far) widgets and programs seem to only integrate with the email app not really the gmail.. which is what i use primarily...
Is there any way to change this that i am not seeing??
TIA
Well you could setup GMail for POP or IMAP access and use the built-in HTC mail client, but I don't know of any GMail specific Sense app.
If you want to use the Sense mail widgets you will gave to set up your Gmail account as an Exchange account in the HTC mail app. Using it as an Exchange account will allow you to still get push email; Google has instructions on how to do this, just...well, Google it
I am thinking that since the Desire and Evo are sort of the same, could you just set up your Gmail account through the "Accout & Sync" setting?
This is what I did and I get PUSH notifications

Hmmm.. I thought about that, but really need the push mail not just pop for every 15 min or so.

When you set it up through there, i am assuming it is going to your gmail app, not the "mail" app in which case you would get push notifications, but it wouldnt work through the sense widgets and apps (just the default android gmail app)... IMO

Another Sense Question..
Also.. here is another "sense" question for someone...
I have contacts in my phone and they are "linked" with contacts from facebook... BUT the information from facebook doesnt sync with my gmail contacts. Is there a setting that i am not seeing that will do this?
For example, in a contact, i see that their birthday was pulled from facebook, and i can view it when viewing the contact card, but not when i go to the contact section on the web when looking at gmail....
Have another thread open asking for a good email widget where the inbox is displayed instead of an icon for the app and Pure Messenger was recommended.
I downloaded it but cant get the email to load for the life of me.
Yes. I downloaded K9 for Pure and set that up but when I picked my Gmail account under "pop3/ima/exchange" in the Pure Messenger (having selected K9 for pure as well) I do not get any emails to load in the widget.
Can someone help me out here?
Thought id add the default email widget to one of my screens, it worked fine and i was able to change email accounts In view and refresh etc but now it doesn't update at all and contains emails i have since deleted. Is this normal for this widget?

Can anyone suggest an alternate email client? I would lie it to do everything the stock one does but with one difference, I would like to move to the next email without returning to the inbox, i.e I am in the body of a message, I have read it and there is an arrow or something that allows me to move straight to the next or previous message, sorry for poor explanation but hopefully you know what I mean!
You can quickly switch between messages the way you describe with K9 mail (I can't post a link -- but google or a play store search for "K9 mail" will find it)
You can do the same too with the ICS Stock email client. That one was one of the best improved applications on ICS and I use that on my H1X along with the 4x4 widget to display emails on one of my home screens.
app called Touchdown
I'm using Touchdown and it works just great for me...

+1 for stock ICS. My only issue remains that the widget "freezes" / doesn't update immediately [this is an issue with ICS or the app, not the H1X]
Another +1 for Touchdown, while reading a message there are options to go to the next or previous email
Enhanced email works really well. I got mine free on the amazon daily promo a while back. It's more or less stock ics email with exchange security settings being configurable.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Thanks for the responses, I will try the stock ics
+1 for K9 mail
however, this is possible in stock sense email app too... you must uncheck "threaded view" option in general settings first, then you can see "next mail" and "previous mail" options in settings when you are viewing any email (three dots options button on upper right corner) in normal view. I know, it is almost same thing with 'back' then tap on next item in threaded view as well, and shame there is no swiping possibility either, hope HTC put this feature in coming updates.
Cheers!
Only thing that puts me off k9 is the pure white with no option for a dark look!
I have emailed the dev but yet to receive a response!

Go to Global settings --> Display and select Dark option in Theme, restart the app by existing K9 and dark theme will be applied when you open K9 again.
Whenever I get emails with images in it, like emails from ATT, Target, GAP etc, the email is showing up as if being viewed in a computer, I mean i can only see a part of it in Gmail, so I have to manually resize the email so that it fits in my phone display. This is kind of an annoyance since coming from iPhone where the email with images would get resized to fit the iphone display. Just wondering if there is any email client that work like the one on the iphone ?

I am using KAITEN for a long time, on my third device now. I was always happy with it.
Not free, but worth the money.
I have a question about k9. I have 3 email accounts on stock email app. 2 of which i have currently set to push so within seconds i have my new email. 1 of which i use to sign up for things and email certain companies ( that i don't need to get instant contact ) and this would be daft using up my mobile data on! I have found that as soon as i set up the accounts they are immediately on push. Even tho there is an update folders option set to never!?
Would someone be able to explain how i would set my third account to be manual- ie i will have to press sync to fetch new mail.

press accounts and sync settings.......
There is no accounts and sync within k9
To reiterate i would like two accounts to be pushed to my device and one to be manual when i go into it and select "retrieve mail"
Is this possible with k9?

Long press the account, account settings, sync folders, set poll frequency to never and push folders to none.

Thanks for the help but i managed to get one account set to manual but it wasn't the one i wanted and i couldn't get it to push without recreating. This is one confusingly laid out app with its settings.
The beauty of the stock app is you can set to push and even set an on and off peak schedule and define how the app pulls in emails in those periods. Unfortunately the schedule in ics is broken which is why i was seeking an alternative.
All,
I literally just got the LG G3 a couple of hours ago and in the process of configuring the phone. I have two questions in regards to the default Exchange email app:
- I have filtered incoming emails to to folders via rules. Can I view ALL emails by default instead of just the inbox? I used to have an HTC One M7 and it gave me an option of viewing ALL emails as default so I don't have to manually go to the subfolders.
- For some reason, when I get an incoming txt message, it goes to the default email app. I use Hangouts as my default SMS, it goes there, but it also shows up in the email app too? Any reason why?
Thanks for any info!
I actually didn't like the stock app at all so I sideloaded the most current Google (nexus) version. I just think it's cleaner/faster and has a better layout. If you want them...

Regarding sms; switch off sms sync in settings->accounts&sync->ms exchange->email settings->ms exchange account.....tick off sms sync!
