Bionic Universal Inbox - Not So Universal???

Love the Bionic, has been working great and fast ... one issue I have ... why does Google Mail not appear as a selection in the Universal Inbox??? Why do I have to load the Messaging App and can access my TXT Msgs., Yahoo Mail, Twitter, IMAP Mail, LinkedIn, and Facebook all in one nice, neat place, and I have to get my Google mail through the GMAIL app. This makes no sense to me ... am I missing something??? (Please someone say yes, or my hopes of common-sense leaving this planet, and being proven) :smileytongue:

This is because the gMail email has a dedicated app to give all the email options from the web based account where the other accounts are limited on what extra options you can access. Its a Android thing not just a Motorola thing, my TB has a seperate app for gMail also and the gMail account does not show in the other email client.

Yeah I figured as much. On my original Droid, it all showed under the email app, even though you could access gmail separately. Wish they kept the same feature; even if it has limited bells and whistles it's still nice to see all accounts in one place, then if I need the features, I could launch the gmail app.

I just hate it when you had a feature, and then upgrade to lose the feature ... go figure.

Google can access pop and imap, so I am sure their is settings that could allow the account to be setup in the other email client, have you checked around?
