Nexus 1 - Refining email settings

4 days into Nexus ownership and mixed feelings. Great screen, fast to use but complex, compared to my old Sony Ericsson W880!
Set up quite straifght forward except I opened a new gmail account for ease of use and also imported another POP3 email account.
So far so good. However, in a parody of the movie The Fly, I have ended up with all my POP 3 account folders attached to the gmail account. this si a problem I think will only be solved by removing both accounts and trying again. Unless antone can come up with a better/simpler way around this problem.
Also I cannot work out how to have a junk folder. I don't particularly want junk but about 5% of my junk is actually OK. How do I get a junk folder, any ideas?

It might be worth looking at a third party email app. K-9 Mail has some extra features and costs nothing. I forward all my accounts to Googlemail for mobile use and find it very good.

Hi dartyal,

If you don't like having your different mail accounts merged together into the same folder, then the only real way around this would be to take the POP3 accounts out of your GMail account, and add them seperately onto the phone using the built-in "Mail" application. This will give you a separate folder for everything, and leave your GMail app especially for your GMail account.

With regards to Junk - GMail automatically gives you a Junk Mail folder, which you can check by switching to the Junk Mail label :)

For everything else though, I'm afraid you'll need to look at a third-party app, or see if your actual mail provider offers a spam filter service you can use :)
