Add a separate non Gmail account for email

[Even4steven]

I need to add a separate email account (Hotmail) and I want it to stand alone and not go through gmail. How do I do this?

I need to be able to send email from this account with no reference to my gmail account.

Thanks,
Steve

Just set it up using the email (not gmail) app on the phone.

Yea, use the non gmail email app. lol.

But wait, why don't you want it to go through the gmail app? I haven't tried the stock email on here; but, I know the one on the epic was terrible and didn't work right.

You know you can send email from a different address through gmail right? To my knowledge there is no indication on the other end that this was done.

Under accounts and sync, setup a corporate account using the exchange settings mail setup for mobile access.

\username.hotmail.com
Password
m.hotmail.com

my hotmail goes through gmail and I have the option to send it through my hotmail acct. I also have a label so I see when it comes through my hotmail account and can click on of if that is all I want to see. hope that helps

That's what I do. It's a little delayed though. I will admit. So if you need to emails NOW, I wouldn't use this set up.

Thanks for the ideas

The problem is my hotmail (a work thing) come through with a "via gmail.com" attached to all my mail.

I will try thebelow suggestion and let you know
\username.hotmail.com
Password
m.hotmail.com

Just asking, but why do you do this? You can now get hotmail as an exchange account, so why bother running it through gmail?

Just so you know, it's:

\username@hotmail.com
Password
m.hotmail.com


So if your email was "fakejohn@hotmail.com" and your password fakepass, it'd be:

\fakejohn@hotmail.com
fakepass
m.hotmail.com

And this is under "manual config" for an exchange server.

So when I go onto the computer I don't have to go to 2 or more places.

Ah, gotcha. I use Thunderbird on the computer, so it is all in one spot.

I use to use; but, no longer use. I prefer going to Gmail.
