Second google account on Android phone. Seperate android Email client for this account?

[cyberpine]

Samsung Epic 4g under Sprint.

I'm trying to add another google account to my phone and it does not let me..

Your phone needs to communicate with Goole servers to setup you account. This may take up to five minutes
Then..
Can't establish a reliable data connection to the Server.

Is this still possible now that google sync is in effect?

We are using this second account as a shared location for picasa pictures and google Videos.

But I'd also like to be able to check emails in the account, but not under my native email client on the samsung or even the gmail client - I want no notifications for these emails. Is there an Android market email client (pop or imap) with a sepeate icon that I could install on the phone for ondemand email? I've looked in the market and their aint much out there.

Thanks.

I had that problem with my HTC Hero. This worked for me. See post #23 here:

That fixed the "can't establish a connection" message. After you add the second account, you can disable email syncing, so you shouldn't get any email notifications for the second account.
