    Made a mistake by accepting lollipop downgrade. Can no longer use stock email without a gmail account. I have no use for that google tentacle!
    Any help to regress the lollipop os on a nexus 10 will be a appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Cannot downgrade unless you root and install custom stuff. Over my head.

    Install a 3rd party mail app, like MyMail or K9 mail or Yahoo Mail and you should be fine.

    Like KC said, you can't downgrade without going the way of root. If I may suggest an email client, I would try K-9 mail.

    It depends on the phone, but you might be able to flash a 4.4.4 or 4.4.2 stock ROM, or a Cyanogen ROM.

    Thanks everyone, I'll try K-9, it means I'll have to get my wife up to speed with it, she will adapt I am sure. I should have taken my own advice " if it ain't broke don't fix it".

    OK K-9 installed but if I understand correctly it requires the Gmail app to synchronize contacts. Gmail is stopped on the Nexus 10. Reboots do not fix it so I guess its broken. Anyone know how to get K-9 access to contacts?

    Thanks.
