Where is MI Mail App? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

I have updated my Redmi note 5 pro to latest MIUI9 buy default MI Mail app is missing. How do I install it?

Just got it on MIUI forum, link is http://en.miui.com/thread-984561-1-1.html

Hello,
Your app is probably just disabled.
To re-enable it :
1) Go the the settings
2) Scroll to "installed apps" in the APP SETTINGS section and click on it
3) In the apps list, scroll down to the Mail app you should see a red icone next to the app name that tell you it is disabled.
4) Click on the app and down the screen you should see three buttons, the middle one is the "enable" button.
5) Click on it and your app should be visible now on your phone.
Let me know if it helps
Regards

Wrong, the mail app. is not present

since its the desire z rom, that should work but if not.. if you have the latest version of gmail, it doesnt have the option anymore.. uninstall the update, go to settings in gmail, do what you need then update again

Here's how I set it to do "silent notifications" with the newest version of Gmail:
a) Open Gmail
b) Hit Menu > More > Settings
c) Select your email address under "Account Settings"
d) Scroll down to "Notification Settings", select "Labels to Notify"
e) Select "Inbox", select "Ringtone", set to "Silent". Hit "OK". Back out of all the menu stuff.
This way, the status bar will still let you know when you have mail (so you can check it at your leisure) but will also NOT ring annoyingly when you have mail
(Of note: This works at least through Gmail v2.3.5, which is the newest in the Market (and one version that is shipped in the GApps pack add-ons for CyanogenMod based ROMs). Pretty much one of the very first things I tend to do in setup )

That's rather odd--I'm using the latest version of Gmail available in the Market (v2.3.5) and do have that option--that said, Google seems to have made it explicitly difficult to set the thing to not ring when an email comes in (or at least non-intuitive, compared to earlier versions).
There IS a menu option to turn off notifications altogether (both ringing notifications AND in the status bar)--consists of Menu > More > Settings > Account Settings (select yer email address, if you have multiple Gmail accounts, you'll need to do this for each one), scroll down to Notification Settings, uncheck "Email Notifications".
If you merely want to turn off ringtone notifications for email (as opposed to all notifications--that is, if you don't want the thing blooping at you when you have new mail but DO want the status bar to indicate when you have mail) this gets more complex: Menu > More > Settings > Account Settings (per account) > scroll down to Notification Settings > Labels to Notify > Inbox > set Ringtone to "Silent". (There is also a checkbox for "Email notifications" in that same section that you can use to turn off the status bar notification--if for some reason you want it to bloop at you but NOT notify you in the status bar.)
(I am in the "Non Blooping For Email" camp, and with the newest version of Gmail this gave me minor fits until I played with it a bit and found out how to do it )
Thank you for the replies everyone. It was rather unintuitive but at least its possible

He just wants Gmail notifications to be silenced, not to miss notifications/ringtones for EVERYTHING.

I am running virtuous unity 2.35, which includes the latest version of gmail. There is an option to silence notifications in the latest version of gmail.

Disabling unneeded apps/bloatware

I wanted to remove (disable) some of the apps I don't need (starting with Chrome and Weather); however, the Disable icon on the app properties page is grayed out. I then checked a few other "system" apps and none of them had the disable button working.
Is this some new Oreo "feature", or is it Xiaomi / Mi Max 3 specific? I know that on a Huawei device running stock Nougat a few months ago, disabling was available.
(On a side note - is it possible that MIUI doesn't include "search" (for apps) on the homescreens?)
You can disable system apps by following this:
Set the language to english, go to Play store -> Help & feedback, find and open the following article "Delete or disable apps on Android", you will see a link named "Tap to go to Application Settings", tap it and the stock app manager will appear.
it's not oreo or max 3 feature, it's just hidden. download from play market - Redmi System Manager, no root requires, open app, give it permissions (if asks) touch the button on the bottom (three point vertically) press Show system apps, find and disable. I've disabled many useless apps this way
Thanks, seems it gets to the same stock app manager as the one from Help&Feedback in Store app. Also, I came across an app MIUI Hidden Settings which also pretty much accomplishes the same (and has lots of other features as well). So there is hope (until I actually read parts of Xiaomi's Privacy Policy, which made me worried...).
But it seems that Xiaomi (if I compare it to my Huawei experience) is much more stringent when it comes to being able to disable crap. For instance, I was able to disable Chrome and Google Photos, but Feedback, Cleaner, and stock Browser have a grayed out Disable button no matter what.

Disable new screen to get added on each app nstall for shortcut

Hi there
Whenever I install an app a new page gets created and the shortcut for app goes on that page, even though the three pages/screens already have a lot of space left.
Is there a setting somewhere which would stop adding the shortcut after creating a new screen.
Launcher and all settings are factory based with original Samsung firmware.
Thank you for your time.
Go to home settings and untick "Add apps to home screen". That way whenever you install a new app, no shortcut is created. If you still want to have a shortcut made but limited to adding to current screens instead of creating a new page, I have no idea on that.

I know how to disable, what I'm looking for is how to get shortcuts on current page.

Redmi Note 8 Pro Miui 11.0.4.0 change default contact app

In Miui 11.0.4 we got this very bad and ugly google contact app. I installed another app got my contacts in there and it is working fine BUT. other apps that need my contacts can not find them because they are connected to the default google contact app. How can i change that?
I know that i can change default app in manage apps and three dots menu. Problem is that there is no contact app to change.

How to change default app store?

When I click on an icon on my home screen for an app that has not yet been installed, the phone shows the following message "This app is not installed. The app for this icon isn't installed. You can remove it, or search for the app and install it manually" and there are 2 options below: REMOVE and SEARCH.
If I click "SEARCH", the system takes me to the Vivo "V-Appstore" to search for the app. How can I change the default app store so "SEARCH" takes me to Google Play Store?
For anyone that asks "how did you get an icon on your home screen for an app that is not installed" the answer is "this is not the issue of this thread"
The best option is to adb command and remove the vivo appstore... I did that on my Chinese nex 3 and it got rid of trying to find the app in the vivo appstore.
