i've already searched Verizon, droid, Google, Comcast.net, and i'm more confused than ever. I need simplest set-up for email on Droid. For a month it worked great; set up Droid Email with 3 accounts;
1. Outlook Exchange active sync, including Calendar and contacts
2. Gmail (just created account for first time; new to me)
3. personal email from Comcast.net (Smartzone I think; i think i had Gmail import emails contact etc. from my comcast.net personal email account. so i must have had 2 separate Gmail accounts on Droid; I'd get only Android messages only in one; and comcast messages in the other.
Worked fine for a month; then account #3 failed, message "process.android.com" and Force Close. Verizon tech advised to delete then set up the account; which worked. but then account #1 failed, same error. So i set that one up again as well.
Then Gmail stopped importing the Comcast.net emails...maybe it only does it for 30 days?
Plus; press Email widget and 3 accounts are displayed. but press Settings widget, Accounts and Sync, and only 2 accounts are displayed.
Plus; I also set up the Droid Gmail to sync. so i get an Email alert, and also a Gmail alert (envelope icon) after syncing. So i'm getting Gmails through both Email and Gmail syncing (duplicate messages
and since Gmail isn't importing my comcast.,net messages any longer, i've set Outlook as email client for Comcast, which syncs with Gmail every 5 minutes. Also i set Gmail to fetch the comcast.net messages push sync. So i'm getting probably 4 copies of each comcast email, on Droid.
any suggestions on best way to simplify? it's a mess. :icon_eek:
