I'm creating a new thread to inquire about this because I've been looking and looking without any luck. I'm simply looking for a simple e-mail icon with an unread e-mail counter built in. Just like the HTC E-mail widget or Hancent's widget for that matter.
I'm shocked that LP+ doesn't come with something like this standard. I feel it should be the first widget to be developed. Right?!
I have seen some other widgets around but most are not 1x1 and the ones that are have a completely different look to them and are not free.

Menu-preferences-dock settings-unread gmail count
I downloaded the Unread Gmail Counter widget from the Market. But I need something for the regular e-mail application. Besides, I would like someone on my homescreen, not the dock.
Nobody?! Really?! I'm shocked!

Hi. I just got the Galaxy S and set up my uni's Microsoft Exchange Push e-mail on it. It's working well but it's a bit of a pain to open the email app every time I get a new email.
Is there a widget that displays your more recent e-mails? I used to have a HTC Touch HD before so something like the sense e-mail screen would be amazing...
I've had a look around the Market and this forums but no luck so far. Has anyone come across anything like that?
Thanks in advance
correct me if i am wrong but in the normal mail client of the galaxy u can also enter how recent your email must be? so it doesnt show everything all the time?
Not sure you are answering the question here
THe idea is to have a preview of the recent mail on a widget without opening the mail app
I have this kind of widget with Touchdown but the problem is that you have to pay for this app and it's 20$!!
I didn't find somwthing like the sense widget for the mail ...

Moxier Mail has a preview widget, of sorts, or use Pure Messanger with K9 plugin.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

K9 for Pure

&
Pure messenger (1.49 Euro i think)
http://www.appbrain.com/app/org.koxx.pure_messenger
But i found it a bit slow and limited with touchwiz
Works well as a scrollable widget on Launcher Pro though
ah yeah indeed i misunderstood the question. but i dont see the problem anyway when opening e-mail when u have new mail. u even get a nice popup in the top-bar that u have new mail which u can instant open from there..
but then again, maybe it could be better with a widget yea
Thanks for the advise. Guess I'll live with the default email client. It's no problem it's just that 80% of the email I get isn't important so it's nice to get an instant preview to see if it's worth reading
Are there e-mail apps that show a little "1" next to the icon when you have 1 new e-mail?
The default e-mail app doesn't seem to do this.
I've placed it in the dock. My textmessage icon however does show a 1 when I have a new text.
Launcher Pro dock does this, or add a SMS Unread Count widget.

Hm I'm using Launcherpro and like I said it does work for my texts but not for my e-mails. Do I have to turn it on somewhere?
Ah my bad, I was thinking Gmail not Email.
Enhanced Email from the market supposedly does it but it aint cheap !!
ADW
ADW launcher and then ADW notifier. Both work a treat for me.
Hi
Can't get my email to appear in the messages widget on motorola defy (only had this phone for a week). Only get a notfication image of new mail in the status bar. Is the messages widget only for texts?? or should you be able to read your new mail via the widget?
Thanks

Do you use Gmail app from Google? You have to add your e-mail account to Motoblur. Also disable original Gmail sync or you'll get notifications twice I think.
[edit] That's if you use a ROM with Motoblur, I don't know if there's e-mail support in deblur ROMs.
Hi
I thought I had added it, my google account appears in the accounts as " other account" below the motorblur account with all the twitter, facebook etc.
Have I got it in the right place?
( you can tell this is my first smartphone )
Do you have Accounts or other apps from Motoblur like Social Networking? Stock Motorola software is different for various regions and might come with or without social features called as Motoblur. If you don't have it then Messages widget works with regular text messages only, I think.
No I don't have accounts for any of those social networks like twitter etc.
So I suppose I am stuck? And won't be able to have the e-mail displayed within the widget?
Thank you very much for your replies and help though.
I've figured it out and now get email in the messages widget. I hadn't realized there are TWO seperate accounts one for G-mail and one for E-mail. It's quite confusing for a smartphone virgin, but what a cool toy
I am able to place a gmail widget on my home screen, but there does not seem to be a standalone widget for exchange email accounts. Am I looking in the wrong place, or has that option been removed? If it has been removed, does anyone have suggestions for a good widget to download for the purpose of being able to readily see microsoft exchange emails on my homescreen (without having to open an app)?
Thanks.

The exchange widget seems to only be on the magazine ux side (swipe to the right).

Thanks. I wasn't for sure what that page was called, but did see that it included the exchange widget as an option. I'm just used to having all of my email and Google Voice accounts shown in one place. It will be inconvenient to have to switch between pages or to open the email app each time.
If I use a third party email app, is there any way to get notifications? For example, the Asus Cover App has an email icon on the clock screen but I never see notifications there. I am guessing that is somehow tied to the default email app which I don't use. I'm using AquaMail and I have looked there for any kind of setting to achieve that but have not found anything.
Thought I'd bring this up to the top one more time. Does anyone know if this can be done?
I'm not using the built in email app. However, I would like notifications to show on the clock with the circle app. I'm using AquaMail, and it DOES give me notifications, but they do not show under the email icon in the circle app. Can this be done, or no?
