Copy & Paste and Getting Secondary Email

[paulmellett]

Just bought the Lucid. I like it better tahn my Blackberry, but I have two questions: is there a way to copy and paste text from emails into a new email? And I have 3 email accounts, but only the default one (gmail) seems to post all the mail I receive. The other 2 (both AOL) I receive almost nothing.

I only use Gmail so I could only test this using their app. However, if you go to the email that you want to copy text from and select forward, then press and hold on the text that you want to copy, the little text selectors will pop up.

I found that using these were a little tricky, as I would try to move one but instead it would just scroll up or down. Also, if you press and hold at the beginning/end of the text you want to select, that makes it easier as one of the text selectors will start there and you'll only need to move the other one. Once you have your text selected, just tap the highlighted text once and it should copy it to the clipboard and clear your selection.

I'm not quite sure what you meant by

only the default one (gmail) seems to post all the mail I receive

but if you think it's a phone/app problem with your other email accounts, try using gmail's POP3 email retrieval and then you can just receive all your email in your gmail inbox. Or, AOL may offer an email forwarding service.

With regard to my secondary email accounts (the AOL ones), I installed a K-9 mail app, which helps me receive most (98%) of my aol mail. Thanks again for responding.
