    GMAIL pop up (bottom of tablet screen) and EMAIL setup

    Lo people

    I'm a tad confused.... ok.. no news.

    I've got a couple of Android tablets, (www.sweettablets.com) and on the first one, after setting up a GMAIL account, I also set up Email and now get two Mail icons at the bottom of my home screen, even though it's the same email.

    So when the second tablet arrived I just logged into GMAIL account in android and so I now get one pop up... for email arriving. Result

    However... how do I get BACK into email to read them after I've shut it?

    I mean: amd I opening a WEBPAGE or an APP when I read the email via the icon at the bottom of the screen? If I open the EMAIL app I'm asked to set up my account, so that's nto it, cos then I'll get two email pop up's like on my first tablet.

    I've been through the list of apps to see if there's one installed but none bring up tthe same screen as the pop up does.

    Any clues gratefully received.

    Thanks

    I use the official gmail app from the market only.

    If you only use gmail there is no need to set it up in the android mail client and the gmail app that's why you have 2 notifications.

    As for getting back in I have a gmail icon on my desktop

    my Gmail app icon seems to show as a window into my latest email. I can change it to show different inbox/sent/spam etc.. but I cant find an icon that takes me to the email page that I see when I get email.

    bit silly... thought it was supposed to be easy to use!
