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.

What problems do you have with using exchange specifically? -- Raul A. Gallegos Whoever snuck the S into "fast food" was very clever.

I use Exchange just so I can synch my contacts with Google Contacts. If another app did this for me, I'd probably stay away from Exchange. On 10/07/12 15:58, Raul A.

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 wayto add additional accounts. I may play with this a little more if I havetime, but at least for me, this doesn't warrant replacing the usage of the native mail app which already does much on the iPhone. Thanks. -- Raul A.

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 haveexperienced 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 thebottom like they are in the default mail app. By default it will showyou a delete button, archive button, and more button. If you choose themore 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 whatI meant by the last sentence is that the things that I use Gmail for onthe 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.

So, I'mgonna get it and see if there is any difference other than theability to mark messages as spam, or add stars to them and let youall know. -- Raul A.

Why would I want the Gmail app over this? With the screen readers, this might come out as sarcastic which is not my intention.

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 afewbugs. Now, you can have true push notifications for your Gmailaccount. Cheers, Grant--You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" GoogleGroup.
