At present Android code supports to add an exchange/corporate account. When user adds an account, Nexus one shows option to add MS exchange account or Google account, but this option is not available in Froyo/ Eclair code. The gmail account is also added as an exchange account and both these types of account use same database and same protocol to communicate.
To give more clarity to user about which type of account she is going to add, while adding an account we can ask whether she wants to add an exchange account or gmail account, the way Nexus one is doing. Nexus one has separate content providers for emails for exchange and gmail. But I want to use same content providers, sync adapters and sync service, and still want to be able to show to user different options to add accounts. I want to know what are the ways to achieve this separation of gmail and exchange account.
