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.

One other thing I'd recommend trying out when you are creating Gmail filters for lists, is to set them up based upon the List-ID header of the list, which you can find by opening a message sent to a list in the basic HTML view, clicking on 'show original', and doing a text search for list. Then when you're creating a filter, enter that into the "has the words" box in the form shown below, which will work for the viphone list: Has the words: list:() This will cover not only messages sent "to" the list, but also messages CCed and BCCed to the list.

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.

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.

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
Hi, I don't use Gmail live if I can possibly avoid it since I just don't get on with the idea of labels etc. However, I use the native mail app and love Gmail via IMAP settings. I got the impression that any email moved to a folder then receives that label and that's usually good enough for me. However, the mention of two labels below did get me wondering if this would be of use to me so would be interested to know if there is a work around for this in either the normal mail app or an alternative.

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!

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.

Re: Gmail app now has push notifications
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.

exchange in gmail - was Re: Gmail app now has push notifications
Hello, Grant is correct. I just checked mine and remember now why I have
separated things even on the same email account. So, I have exchange for
contacts only and then I have an imap one for email and calendars. So,
even though both are using the same gmail account, it still works
beautifully. Despite the exchange limitations, syncing contacts does
work like a charm and no issues are made this way.

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!

Re: Gmail app now has push notifications
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
For my part, I see that Exchange can be a bit sluggish when compared to IMAP, e.g. I'll delete and move a bunch of messages on my phone, and if I don't give it enough time to sync everything up, I'll still see some messages when I check my email from my PC. I don't have this problem when using IMAP. Of course, it could always be that I'm doing something wrong or that I don't have something set correctly. I've also seen references on this list, from Grant maybe?, on some limitations in Exchange over IMAP. Plus, I figure, why involve another server if I don't need to. On 10/07/12 16:13, Raul A.

Re: Gmail app now has push notifications
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. Grant On 7/10/12, Raul A.

Re: Gmail app now has push notifications
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
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, Wayne On 7/10/12, Raul A.

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?

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,
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

Re: Gmail app now has push notifications
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.

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.

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.

Re: Gmail app now has push notifications
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
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. Grant On 7/10/12, Raul A.

Re: Gmail app now has push notifications
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.
