BTW:  You can certainly create mailboxes (which I assume to be labels) in 
the native email app as I do it from time to time.

Rick, I think you can, but the process seems a bit
cumbersome. Personally I think doing it from the web site
will be faster. At least for me. I've done it from Safari
in the iPhone or Firefox in Windows. Just use the page I
recommended for the basic html interface.

Hi, if you think of labels as folders, you are good to
go. Gmail by default just puts everything in the all
mail folder. The only real folders in gmail in fact are
all mail, trash, spam, and I think inbox. Everything you receive is 
categorized in the inbox and

all mail folder. When you want mail to be sorted in
so-called folders, you just apply a label to it. The
label acts like a folder. So for example, list messages
here for me get the iOS label. In fact they are really
being moved to the all mail folder and out of my inbox
so they don't appear there. However since the iOS label
is applied and since labels are seen as folders by my
windows mail program Thunderbird and by the iPhone mail
app, I just think of labels as folders and folders as
labels. So, when it comes to Google mail, the terms are
interchangeable. So, what I do is go to
http://mail.google.com/mail/h and create filters on my
gmail account. I made one for this list which says that
any mail addressed to viphone skips the inbox and has
the iOS label applied to it. Doing it this way means
that all my mail is sorted accordingly without me having
to worry about rules in Thunderbird or the lack of rules
in iPhone mail.
I hope this makes sense.

Hey Grant, thanks much for that tidbit about the list filters. I hadn't 
thought to use it that way. Because of that, it will now also catch 
those senders who cc or bcc the list. Normally those would remain in the 
inbox, but now they won't. You rock!

Re: Gmail app now has push notifications

[Carol Pearson]

Yes, I understand the labels and folders.  Just didn't get on with the 
interface.


To keep this on topic though, I can't think of a way of applying more than 
one label to any one message in the mail app and, unless the Gmail app can 
do this then I see no reason for it either.

Re: Gmail app now has push notifications

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hi, if you think of labels as folders, you are good to go. Gmail by 
default just puts everything in the all mail folder. The only real 
folders in gmail in fact are all mail, trash, spam, and I think inbox. 
Everything you receive is categorized in the inbox and all mail folder. 
When you want mail to be sorted in so-called folders, you just apply a 
label  to it. The label acts like a folder. So for example, list 
messages here for me get the iOS label. In fact they are really being 
moved to the all mail folder and out of my inbox so they don't appear 
there. However since the iOS label is applied and since labels are seen 
as folders by my windows mail program Thunderbird and by the iPhone mail 
app, I just think of labels as folders and folders as labels. So, when 
it comes to Google mail, the terms are interchangeable. So, what I do is 
go to http://mail.google.com/mail/h and create filters on my gmail 
account. I made one for this list which says that any mail addressed to 
viphone skips the inbox and has the iOS label applied to it. Doing it 
this way means that all my mail is sorted accordingly without me having 
to worry about rules in Thunderbird or the lack of rules in iPhone mail.


I hope this makes sense.

Good question, Wayne. As far as I am aware you could
indeed move it to multiple folders from an IMAP account,
but it doesn't sound like a lot of fun! I don't see why
you couldn't apply multiple labels in the native Gmail
app, but haven't explored it enough to give an accurate

Hi Raul, unfortunately Exchange accounts come with a few bugs -
searching doesn't work, it's harder to check other folders, and you
can't put messages in specific folders properly. It's also not
possible as far as I am aware, to trash messages rather than archiving
them. This is the reason I opted for IMAP rather than exchange.

Re: Gmail app now has push notifications

[Jessica Brown]

What is the difference between push and pull?

- Original Message -
From: Grant Hardy I don't mean to be too controversial and it's hardly a big deal, 
but

do you know how PUSH 4.0 provides push functionality? I only ask
because the Ultimate Notifier app advertizes push functionality 
for

Gmail, and what it actually does is pulls Gmail's ATOM feed every
thirty seconds or so. Of course, that's a pretty darn fast
notification window, and it's super reliable. But in terms of 
"push

notifications" in the true sense of the word, I wouldn't say this
really fits with the definition.

You can find out what an app is doing by reviewing Gmail's "last
account activity" at the bottom of every Gmail page, including 
the

plain HTML version.

This is great to know. Also, in case others are looking for true 
push
notifications for gmail, you can get the Push 4.0 app for $4.99 
and use it
for various pushes like gmail, twitter, and Facebook. I find it 
more

reliable than Boxcar.

filters and labels in gmail - was Gmail app now has push notifications

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hello Wayne, to do what you want you will need to set up a filter from 
the gmail web site located http://mail.google.com/mail/h and it will 
work there. It will be sorted accordingly when you use the native iPhone 
mail app as well.


Good luck.

AS long as we're comparing the mail and Gmail apps, is it possible to
apply multiple labels to a message in both apps? I mainly use Gmail on
a Windows computer and in a web browser. Most of my mail is setup to
have filters applied when new messages come in that fit certain
criteria, like from this list. However, occasionally I may want to
apply more than one label to a message. I don't think this can be done
in the native mail app, since hwen you move a message from the inbox
to a folder, you have applied a label to it. And it doesn't seem wise
to keep moving it from folder to folder just to apply several labels.
I've got a lot of messages in my Gmail system, mainly ones that are
archived, so having multiple labels is a good thing for me to stay
organized.

Yes. My technical knowledge doesn't extend far enough to tell you how
exactly the phone maintains contact with the push server, but
basically, rather than having to call out to a server, your phone just
waits for the server to call to the phone! That's much more efficient
for a mobile because it doesn't have to do so much heavy lifting.

Just curious, what is so important about a mail app having push 
notifications? Seems much adoo about nothing?

Hello all,

I haven't been following this list a lot lately so if this topic has
already been beaten to death, I apologize in advance - I did a super
quick search of past postings and didn't see it!

For all you Gmail users out there, the Gmail app, while not entirely
accessible in certain respects, now has push alerts for new Emails.
There have been a few alternatives that I've used in the past, such as
the Ultimate Notifier app - which checks mail every thirty seconds -
and setting up a Google Exchange account in Mail - which has a few
bugs. Now, you can have true push notifications for your Gmail
account.

Cheers,

Grant

Re: Gmail app now has push notifications

[Christopher Chaltain]

This makes perfect sense to me. Right now, I'm syncing everything in
IMAP and Exchange, so I have two sets of emails and calendars. I figured
I'd keep both around until I used them enough to know which ones I want
to keep. Thanks a lot for the advice!

Re: Gmail app now has push notifications

[Grant Hardy]

Good question, Wayne. As far as I am aware you could indeed move it to
multiple folders from an IMAP account, but it doesn't sound like a lot
of fun! I don't see why you couldn't apply multiple labels in the
native Gmail app, but haven't explored it enough to give an accurate
answer.

Re: Gmail app now has push notifications

Hi Raul, unfortunately Exchange accounts come with a few bugs -
searching doesn't work, it's harder to check other folders, and you
can't put messages in specific folders properly. It's also not
possible as far as I am aware, to trash messages rather than archiving
them. This is the reason I opted for IMAP rather than exchange.

Re: Gmail app now has push notifications

[Grant Hardy]

Hi Christopher, what you can do is set up both an IMAP and an Exchange
account, then in your Exchange account, turn off mail synchronization.
This is an option in the account settings for your exchange account.
So you'll have an exchange account syncing contacts, and a separate
IMAP account for mail. I hope this is clear, it sounds complicated but
this is the way my Google account is set up, and it works like a
charm!

Re: Gmail app now has push notifications

[Wayne Merritt]

AS long as we're comparing the mail and Gmail apps, is it possible to
apply multiple labels to a message in both apps? I mainly use Gmail on
a Windows computer and in a web browser. Most of my mail is setup to
have filters applied when new messages come in that fit certain
criteria, like from this list. However, occasionally I may want to
apply more than one label to a message. I don't think this can be done
in the native mail app, since hwen you move a message from the inbox
to a folder, you have applied a label to it. And it doesn't seem wise
to keep moving it from folder to folder just to apply several labels.
I've got a lot of messages in my Gmail system, mainly ones that are
archived, so having multiple labels is a good thing for me to stay
organized.

Regards,

Hi, honestly I think that if you are already using exchange for your 
gmail stuff like contact syncing, you are fine. No need for iTunes. What 
problems do you have with using exchange specifically?

Re: Gmail app now has push notifications

I feel like I'm weird for responding to my own messages, but that's ok. 
One thing which this app also do is push notifications when you receive 
new email. Of course, I think that's what got the thread discussion 
about it in the first place. It does that very well by letting me know 
when I have new messages in my inbox. However I don't know of a way to 
get alerts for other mailboxes other than inbox. I also don't see a way 
to add additional accounts. I may play with this a little more if I have 
time, but at least for me, this doesn't warrant replacing the usage of 
the native mail app which already does much on the iPhone.

For all you Gmail users out there, the Gmail app, while not entirely

There have been a few alternatives that I've used in the past,

the Ultimate Notifier app - which checks mail every thirty seconds -

Re: Gmail app now has push notifications

[Grant Hardy]

I don't mean to be too controversial and it's hardly a big deal, but
do you know how PUSH 4.0 provides push functionality? I only ask
because the Ultimate Notifier app advertizes push functionality for
Gmail, and what it actually does is pulls Gmail's ATOM feed every
thirty seconds or so. Of course, that's a pretty darn fast
notification window, and it's super reliable. But in terms of "push
notifications" in the true sense of the word, I wouldn't say this
really fits with the definition.

You can find out what an app is doing by reviewing Gmail's "last
account activity" at the bottom of every Gmail page, including the
plain HTML version.

Hi Grant, I know all of this since that's how I have mine set up. I was 
just pointing out the differences between the mail app native to the 
iPhone and the gmail app since others were curious.

Hi Raul, if you have Gmail set up as an IMAP account in the native
mail app, then you can archive/label/mark as spam simply by moving
messages into the appropriate folders such as Spam and Trash. If you
go into the settings for your mail account you can change the default
behaviour so that mail in the inbox is archived rather than deleted.
Then for those messages that you actually want to trash, simply move
them to the trash folder.

If you use an exchange account - which I don't recommend since there
is less functionality - you can still delete messages, which moves
them to All Mail.

Hi, since you replied to me, I assume the question was directed toward
me. You know what they say about assuming, so in any case, I don't know
since I don't use the app and I haven't found a need to since the mail
app works just fine for me. I haven't looked at the actual gmail app
description, so maybe you have control over labels and / or filters. Let
me see now. I just looked it up and here's what it says you can do with
the gmail app.

With the Gmail app, you can:
● Receive notifications for new messages
● Read your mail with threaded conversations
● Organize your mail by archiving, labeling, starring, deleting, and
reporting spam
● Keep track of important messages with priority inbox
● Auto-complete contact names as you type
● Send and receive attachments
● Search through all your mail

So, my guess is the labels and star and spam capabilities are added when
you use the gmail app. I might give it a go to see how Voice Over
friendly it is. It doesn't mention the ability of multiple accounts and
that would be a necessity for me because both my raulgallegos.com email
accounts and my secondary domain accounts are gmail accounts since I use
Google Apps.

Re: Gmail app now has push notifications

[Raul A. Gallegos]

I am writing this message using the Gmail app. It basically looks like the
Gmail webpage. As I suspected, it allows you to do things like manager
labels and tag messages as spam. However I am encountering the issue when
using a Bluetooth keyboard, that the edit field for me to type the message
doesn't allow me to use the keyboard at all times. So I ended up turning
off the keyboard and now I am just using the onboard keyboard on the
screen. This is that similar issue that I have experienced on webpages
using Safari when I try to fill in forms. Other than that, things seem very
speech friendly with voiceover. Your action buttons for each message are at
the top of the screen instead of at the bottom like they are in the default
mail app. By default it will show you a delete button, archive button, and
more button. If you choose the more button, you can do things like reply,
Mark as spam, or added as a label. The way I personally use Gmail, it
doesn't require me to be on the website much to do things like marking
messages as spam, editing labels, or moving things to other folders. So I
probably will not be using this app for very much. I am dictating right
now, and I think what I meant by the last sentence is that the things that
I use Gmail for on the website, I can still do there without having to use
this app. For typical male reading, replying, and composing, I can still
use the default mail app which comes with the iPhone.

Re: Gmail app now has push notifications

[Grant Hardy]

Hi Raul, if you have Gmail set up as an IMAP account in the native
mail app, then you can archive/label/mark as spam simply by moving
messages into the appropriate folders such as Spam and Trash. If you
go into the settings for your mail account you can change the default
behaviour so that mail in the inbox is archived rather than deleted.
Then for those messages that you actually want to trash, simply move
them to the trash folder.

If you use an exchange account - which I don't recommend since there
is less functionality - you can still delete messages, which moves
them to All Mail.

Re: Gmail app now has push notifications

[Grant Hardy]

Hi Alex, the native mail app doesn't give you true push notifications
unless you set up an exchange account. But if you do do that, then you
lose some functionality. This is why people like to have another app
for true push notifications analogous to what you might get on a
Blackberry device.

Re: Gmail app now has push notifications

Well, I figure it's free and you don't know until you try. So, I'm gonna 
get it and see if there is any difference other than the ability to mark 
messages as spam, or add stars to them and let you all know.

Re: Gmail app now has push notifications

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hi, since you replied to me, I assume the question was directed toward 
me. You know what they say about assuming, so in any case, I don't know 
since I don't use the app and I haven't found a need to since the mail 
app works just fine for me. I haven't looked at the actual gmail app 
description, so maybe you have control over labels and / or filters. Let 
me see now. I just looked it up and here's what it says you can do with 
the gmail app.


With the Gmail app, you can:
● Receive notifications for new messages
● Read your mail with threaded conversations
● Organize your mail by archiving, labeling, starring, deleting, and 
reporting spam

● Keep track of important messages with priority inbox
● Auto-complete contact names as you type
● Send and receive attachments
● Search through all your mail

So, my guess is the labels and star and spam capabilities are added when 
you use the gmail app. I might give it a go to see how Voice Over 
friendly it is. It doesn't mention the ability of multiple accounts and 
that would be a necessity for me because both my raulgallegos.com email 
accounts and my secondary domain accounts are gmail accounts since I use 
Google Apps.

Re: Gmail app now has push notifications

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hi, I don't know how well the gmail app works. I've always used the 
built-in mail app with the phone and haven't needed anything else. If I 
ever have to manage anything with my gmail account, I use Safari and go 
to http://mail.google.com/mail/h for the basic layout of the page.

RE: Gmail app now has push notifications

[Rick Alfaro]

Totally agree, Push 4.0 works great and very reliable.

Do you know if the Gmail app works well with VO?  Would you use it in place
of the native iPhone app?

This is great to know. Also, in case others are looking for true push
notifications for gmail, you can get the Push 4.0 app for $4.99 and use it
for various pushes like gmail, twitter, and Facebook. I find it more
reliable than Boxcar.

There have been a few alternatives that I've used in the past, such as
the Ultimate Notifier app - which checks mail every thirty seconds -
and setting up a Google Exchange account in Mail - which has a few
bugs. Now, you can have true push notifications for your Gmail
account.

Gmail app now has push notifications

[Grant Hardy]

Hello all,

I haven't been following this list a lot lately so if this topic has
already been beaten to death, I apologize in advance - I did a super
quick search of past postings and didn't see it!

For all you Gmail users out there, the Gmail app, while not entirely
accessible in certain respects, now has push alerts for new Emails.
There have been a few alternatives that I've used in the past, such as
the Ultimate Notifier app - which checks mail every thirty seconds -
and setting up a Google Exchange account in Mail - which has a few
bugs. Now, you can have true push notifications for your Gmail
account.

Cheers,

Grant
