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.

Is it possible to create labels right from the Gmail app
or does it have to be done from the web site.

Subject: Re: Gmail app now has push notifications
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.

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

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
