If so, that is just plain silly. My ASUS tablet has one that more or less mirrors the gmail one. I have a gmail and a work (exchange) account and can't check things so efficiently on that work account.
You're a moron. No, of course not, I kid, I kid. You did ask. Sorry, I couldn't resist, I'm a joker.
I use AquaMail myself, paid the $2.99 for the unlocker or whatever. It works very well, it's minimalist and gets the job done, and has widgets you can use on any launcher.
