Email accounts

[Irishtoon]

When I purchased my phone, the Verizon store associate set my yahoo email as my primary email. In other words, whenever I accessed my contacts to send them an email, it was sent from my Yahoo account.

I also have a Gmail account because I need that account to sync my calendar and contacts with my computer.

Yesterday my phone started sending all of my email from my Gmail account.

How do I change it back so that my Yahoo account is my primary account?

I spent 30 minutes on the phone with Verizon tech support yesterday, and they were unable to help me.

Are you accessing the gmail account through the gmail app?

Try clearing the defaults to the action. Go to settings > applications > manage applications > all tab > scroll down to the gmail app. Select it and press the clear defaults button if it is white.

If your situation is different, please post back with more details.

Thank you Ann154 for your reply. Your phone will have two email icons, Email  and Gmail. When sending your emails, you want to use the Email icon which should have your Yahoo email account set up on it. To verify that your Yahoo email account is the default one, go to the Email icon, select Menu, Email Settings and choose Default Email Account. 

Thank you,
