    Email Client Questions

    Alright so there are 2 email clients on the Droid, Gmail and the regular email client. I have my gmail account set up on both of them. Which one should I be using. It seems weird that there are 2 clients. I wish I could get rid of one. And what's weird is that sometimes I'll get a notifications from both clients that I got a new email.

    The gmail client is for gmail accounts. The other is for other accounts. Now technically you can setup your gmail on the other email client. However, if you use the "email" client instead of the "gmail" client for your gmail account you will not get push instead it pulls with the duration you set on the account settings.

    You should only use 1 or the other for any 1 email account.
