This is a more general question about the mobile Gmail app versus the browser version. My current implementation of an "Unread" email inbox consists of a saved search for "is:unread" kept as a QuickLink named "Unread." Unfortunately, the mobile Gmail app doesn't see QuickLinks as Labels, so I can't open just that label to read just unread messages.
What I essentially want is to be able to choose a label in the Gmail widget so the widget shows just unread mail. Then, when I read the mail, it'd disappear automatically from the widget (preferably staying in the inbox).
The only thing I've figured out so far is manually moving things out of inbox and use that as the unread place, but this is cumbersome to my workflow and how I generally think of inbox (read, but unprocessed, tasks and information).
Let me know what you think about the possibility of this, thanks!

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
All,
I was using Touchdown before for my Exchange emails, but decided to try the default email app on the Nexus. What I would like is to view by default "All Email Folder" so no matter where my filters sought out to what folder it will show in main inbox.
I believe in the default mail app, you have to view the emails in the respective folders?
Thanks!
I too had the same problem - I just use Moxier Mail, which allows you to select all folders in your 'Sync Folder'. Unfortunately the default mail app still doesn't let you do this.
You can set sync options for each sub folder, but currently notification still not working for email that filtered to sub folders.

Is there a way to customize the Contact: SMS and Email Notifications within the Contacts application or is a 3rd app needed?
I know there is a section for Ringtone, but what about SMS and Email?
Im not sure even 3rd party apps can do it..

Email notifications come from Gmail or the Email app so custom notifications are not possible. I think Handcent SMS has the option to assign a contact a custom ringtone.
Ya, I was there was a way to have a custom sound for each notification. Email, text, etc...
For emails i dont think so, for text you can use a 3rdparty sms like gosms or handcent, or you can use ringo https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.electricpocket.ringo

It would be a bit of work but you could get Gmail label notifier and make labels for different contacts and then assign specific sounds to the labels.

How to Change tones
The phone is capable of doing it by itself without the need of a third party app, simply go into the app you wish to change the notification tone for example gmail.
1. Open app>menu button>more> then go into settings
2. Choose which account if you have multiple accounts or just select your account then go all the way to the bottom where it says labels to notify and choose your inbox. It's set to default by default which is the notification set generally in your phones settings.
3. Choose whatever notification tone you want, be it a custom one you added yourself into the notifications folder on your internal or sd card memory or ones that are on the phone by default and voila! You're set.
Example 2 SMS app (default since I use that one)
1. Open app (obviously)>menu button>settings
2. scroll all the way to the bottom and choose "select ringtone", it's set at default just like the default on gmail, changing this doesn't change your default, only changes the tone for sms app.
Have fun changing your notification tones to be able to differentiate different forms of mail, same method works for fb messenger etc, only app I haven't found a way to change the tone is yahoo mail, but that's unique so I have no need to change it.
Hope this helps.^_^
All,
I literally just got the LG G3 a couple of hours ago and in the process of configuring the phone. I have two questions in regards to the default Exchange email app:
- I have filtered incoming emails to to folders via rules. Can I view ALL emails by default instead of just the inbox? I used to have an HTC One M7 and it gave me an option of viewing ALL emails as default so I don't have to manually go to the subfolders.
- For some reason, when I get an incoming txt message, it goes to the default email app. I use Hangouts as my default SMS, it goes there, but it also shows up in the email app too? Any reason why?
Thanks for any info!
I actually didn't like the stock app at all so I sideloaded the most current Google (nexus) version. I just think it's cleaner/faster and has a better layout. If you want them...

Regarding sms; switch off sms sync in settings->accounts&sync->ms exchange->email settings->ms exchange account.....tick off sms sync!

How do i uninstall this app ?
[Not sure if I should be posting this in the general Themer forum or Zooper forum. Mods, please move if in the wrong place.]
I am using Zooper which came bundled with Themer, and was editing one of the themes I downloaded when I ran into this problem. Some backround info then:
I use Gmail (personal email). Setting Themer's default mail app to "Inbox" (the google app) or "Gmail" accurately displays the unread count if I'm using #SUG# or #UEmail#
I also have Lotus Notes Traveler (work email). I am unable to set the correct variable. However, if I set the default themer email app to "Mail" (the work email client), it shows the unread count if I use #SUG# or #UEmail#. Similarly, if I define default SMS app as my work email client, and set the widget to show #SUSMS# or #USMS#, it also shows my unread work emails.
Where I run into a problem is having the widget show separate counts for personal and work emails. I thought I'd be clever and swap the themer default app to my work email, and use #UEmail# to show work email counts, and #SUG# (and all variations e.g. #SUG^all#) to show personal emails, but it seems Themer/Zooper does not differentiate between the two, and the unread counts only show work email (where work email client is set as default mail app in Themer).
Something I think might work would be to set #Upkgname# where pkgname is the package name for the work email client. Unfortunately I have no idea what the package name is. Googling around shows that it could be com.lotus.sync.traveler, but change the variable to #Ucom.lotus.sync.traveler# does not work either.
As additional info, the default variables provided are #USMS#, #UEmail#, #Upkgname#, #Ucom.whatsapp#
There should be a workaround to this but I'm just not seeing it. I understand people have had success showing email counts in different clients using a combination of Tasker and Zooper, but I'm going to use that as a last resort since I don't want to pay for something only to find out it doesn't help with my problem.
