New Mail Notification (Homescreen Widget) - Desire General

Hi all, long time reader of XDA forum with my HTC Diamond, but have now moved onto the Desire and with 2.2 release.
I have a question. I have my work exchange account on my device as well as my personal Blueyonder account and another Virgin one.
When I receive email, I get a notification in the menu bar, but not on the Mail Widget on the homescreen. I assume that you should get one just like with SMS etc? I have tried taking away notification s and ticking them again, all notifications for all accounts are enabled, but I never get the notification on my widget. it is the stock mail widget I am using.
Any ideas?

I have handsent fro sms .. and all my other mail boxes work fine.. I get a number by the folder ... for all my pop3 stuff...
there must be a setting there ... not sure where though

Hi! thanks for reply, I forgot to mention I was using LauncherPro. I reverted back to the HTC Sense one, and they're there... So must be a LauncherPro issue...

HTC EVO not working right with Google SMS ??? Need some help..

I have configured SMS notifications at Googles Calendar website.
I set SMS as the default reminder.
If I create the appointment on Googles Calendar website, everything works great.
When I create the appointment using the HTC EVO stock calendar app...the SMS notifications never occur.
I can see why it isnt working...
when appointments are created on the phone, and then I go and look at it on Googles calendar website, the reminder for that appointment is set to POP UP.
Of course if I change it to SMS on their website it works.
How do I set the HTC EVO calendar app so that it creates appointments that uses SMS reminders as default?
I don't see that as an option on my Nexus One or EVO 4G. You'll probably get better answers if you surf over to the Google support/help forums and ask there since this doesn't appear to be an EVO specific problem.
You might also post as a suggestion/bug in the Google Apps development forums (don't ask me for a link).
Seems like this should be something you should be able to set in the Google Calendar defaults on the web, not the phone.

[Q] Removing an email address from email "history"

Hi guys. Hope you can help me out.
I am running an un-rooted un-branded Vodafone HTC Desire with the official Froyo update.
My question is this. I while ago I sent an email to an incorrect email address I manually entered in the "to" field.
Now when I start typing email addresses it often prompts me to select the incorrect email address. How do I remove it?? It's not part of a contact and says it's in "History". Email address history?
I sync with gmail contacts and facebook contacts too. It's not in either of those.
Lastly I want to sync with facebook for HTC Sense for status updates but not for contacts. Is there a way of seperating them? In Settings>Accounts and Sync I can just turn Facebook for HTC Sense on/off. Not specify anything else.
bump! Anyone?!
Same problem here
I've been hopping around other android forums reading the same problem and no one has an answer. Theres gotta be a way to clear this history. Its pretty annoying. I tried clearing data, clearing cache from the settings>applications, installed a clear history app, nothing works.
Anyone?
Thanks sumadeez. Please can a moderator make this a sticky thread until resolved???
Just some detail to add to the issue from my experience -
Im running an unrooted HTC EVO using the native HTC Mail app running Froyo.
The problem also appears when you try to 'add' a new email account to HTC mail. When you start typing the first letter of the email address, it appears in a historical drop down as a choice. Seems like the unwanted email address only appear within an 'email formatted input field'.
I also thought it was part of the custom dictionary that gets saved when you type, but its not in that list either.
Could it still be in your sent mail somewhere?
Re: Facebook for Sense, do you want status updates for yourself or your friends status updates? If its your updates, use the Android app, for your friends use Sense and select your own picture for contacts. Hope it helps
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I checked and deleted all sent mail..still shows up.

DZ not showing "new email notification" in taskbar

hi there,
for a while, i was using the htc mail app (not gmail) and everything worked fine with the email notifications in the taskbar on my desire z...
until i decided to check out the gmail app (for labels aso). so i deleted my account settings in the htc mail app and entered all in the gmail app. however, i wasn't happy with the gmail app (missing to many features) and went back to the htc mail app, reversing the account stuff (for the my main mail account meaning only to un-tick the mail-sync).
now, i don't get notifications on the taskbar, if a new mail arrives. i checked the preferences and turned everything on, that looked like a notification setting... what am i missing?? anybody else with a similar issue?
thanks and cheers,
abprie
*bump*
no one with that sort of problem?
just to close that one: I deleted all account settings from the google mail app and htc mail app, deleted all application data (in application settings) for those two apps, re-entered my account settings in htc mail and now it works again... cant figure out, what was wrong before...

[Q] Gmail inbox issue

Hi,
I have very bothering bug in my gmail app. I know that I am not the only one but I have not found any solution. Maybe you may help.
Simply, when a mail comes, the notification appears but usually (not always) no new mail appears in my inbox. Sometimes new mails can be found under labels. But usually I cannot open them, they are not in the inbox but there is a number in counter. Going to app settings and deleting it helped but only for the first time.
It is really bothering not being able to open my mails in my phone, especially in the original Google app I am desperate because I do not want to use other e-mail apps. I use gmail so I want use gmail app.
Anyone met this and solved? Thank you!!

[Q] No GMail Notification on Sense 4.0 lockscreen?

I wonder why there is no GMail Notification on the Productivity Lockscreen? Why is there only a notification for the plain Mail Client, but not for GMail?
Am I just blind and can't find the option to activate it, or is it faulty, that means you other guys have GMail notification?
I appreciate any feedback
Probably deliberately missing as HTC use their own Email client
Blame Google, not HTC. Its been ages now but Google changed the Gmail app to improve security and one of the changes is that other apps are no longer able to query to the number of messages unread in Gmail.

I thought that was fixed as of Gmail 2.3.6, I believe.
Others apps are able to use that call function (SMS Unread, MissedIt!, etc)
Has anyone had any luck with this? I would love to have my Gtalk and Gmail notifications on the lock screen when I have new messages...

Only workaround I can think of, off the top of my head would be to install a Lockscreen replacement (WidgetLocker for example) and use an app such as SMS Unread Count OR Missed It! to get those quick counts in there.
I don't know of any app that can give you a quick preview of your unread emails (subject, etc) that's not to say that it doesn't exist; I'm just not aware of one.
can't you just add google mail as one of the accounts within the native app? open the native app and go to menu/new account. you can choose a mail provider, including gmail. don't know if it will run two accounts at once. haven't tried it, and am not using gmail as my main account. so take what i suggest with a grain of salt. good luck.
