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) 
They like to change stuff like that to keep us on our footsies. Boy wildman i can remember back in the Day when got our first little phone it was a Nokia no color screen an it could call an do voicemail an do basic text msg. came a long way since those days.

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?

Configuring Android Device for IMAP
To configure the 'Email' app on an Android device for access to Gmail, just follow the steps below:
1. Enable IMAP in your Gmail settings.
2. On your phone, press < Home >, then open the Email application.
3. On the 'Your accounts' page, select Next to get started with setup.
4. Enter your full Gmail address (username@gmail.com) and password, then select Next.
5. On the next screen, you can give the account a nickname and choose the name to display on your outgoing messages. Tap Done.
And you're done. You can verify your settings from the Inbox view by tapping < Menu > > Account settings.
Incoming settings
IMAP server: imap.gmail.com
Port: 993
Security type: SSL (always)
Outgoing settings
SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 465
Security type: SSL (always)
Now that your account is set up, learn how actions in your client sync with Gmail.
The following guide will show you how to set up the built-in email application to access an IMAP or POP3 email server for incoming email and an SMTP server for outbound email. The setup for both IMAP and POP3 is the same so for the purposes of this guide, we will use POP3.
- Tap the upward pointing arrow to get to the app menu (figure 1)
- Tap on the Email icon (figure 2)
- Enter your email address and password, then tap Next (figure 3)
- Select POP3 account (figure 4)
- Enter your Username, Password, POP3 server (pop3.domain.com, etc) and Port (default 110) (figure 5)
- Click on Security type; a new window will pop up and allow you to select the level of encryption (None, SSL or TLS) (figure 6)
- Once the Security type has been selected the pop up window will close and you can continue to the next step
- Select when to delete email from server; the options are "Never" or "When I delete from Inbox", then tap Next (figure 5)
- Enter outgoing SMTP server settings, which consist of SMTP Server, Port, Security type (None, SSL or TLS) (figure 7)
- If your outgoing or SMTP server requires you to login then check the box next to Require sign-in, enter your username and password, and tap the Next button
- Select email checking frequency and notification options (figure 😎
- Finally, name the account and input your display name (figure 9)
Email will begin synchronizing once the credentials and server information is entered correctly.
