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. 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.

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.
Thanks.

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.

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.

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.
Thanks.

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.

any difference other than the ability to mark
messages as spam, or add stars to them and let
you all know.

I have a Gmail account and use it in the
regular E-mail app. I get
notifications when the mail comes in. Why
would I want the Gmail app over
this? With the screen readers, this might
come out as sarcastic which is not
my intention. I really want to know, smiles.

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
