Stop Default Email App

[saptech]

A few weeks ago, I got the upgrade to some partial ICS from GB, since then, it seems I get email notification from the default email app and gmail app.

I have two email apps in the notification area. I can't seem to find the default email to stop it from accessing gmail, I want google gmail app to access it only. The only area I can view the default app is in the All Applications drawer.

I can't seem to find the default app in the Settings area. Any ideas how to stop this?

Thnx.

What kind of phone is it, that may help. My HTC phone uses the Sense Mail app. If I want to use GMail, I have to turn off notifications in the Sense Mail app settings menu or the same thing happens. If you can't find the app, just click on the notification you don't want which will take you to that app. Once there, go to the settings menu and turn off notifications for that app.

I'm using a Samsung Stratosphere, listed in my profile. I did find in settings, Account Settings and for Account Name, it list Gmail, when I try to remove and leave blank, won't let me. So I just now erased the gmail info and put in hotmail.com to use as a dummy account, now to see what happens.

Thnx. for the info.

Changing the info on the default email app, which belongs to Verizon, didn't seem to make a difference. It looks like it may be hard coded into the gmail acct. once you set it up. I do not see anyplace to remove the gmail acct. from the default email acct.

All this seems to happen since the ugrade I did a few weeks ago.

Can you get into settings in the default email app? If you can, see if you can remove Gmail from it, turn off sync, or at least turn off notifications.

Default account has a check mark and will not let me uncheck it. It give message, "Default account must be set".

I also removed the password and after power phone off and back on, the password appeared again. I was able to uncheck the Sync & Notification, so maybe I won't be notified when mail comes.

Thnx.


I guess VZW is trying to force their apps as default now days.
