[Q] How to set default view in Email app - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I have two accounts in the stock email app and I want the combined view to be the default but it keeps coming back to the main email account. How do you set it to default to combined view instead?

You need to use the email widget. There is a 1x1 icon and when you select it it will ask which accounts you want to use.

I see, it was a shortcut to create the icon for it. Thanks!

Exchange email app view All folders?

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.

[Q] E-mail Combine View as default?

Hello,
Is there a way to make the combined view default in the stock e-mail app? Or do I have to use another e-mail app?
Thanks
Download Desktop Visualizer from the Market. Open and you can define a new shortcut (if you prefer with a custom icon) for your homescreens. Choose other, Email and then combined. It will make that shortcut to your homescreen....
Voila.., all done...

It shouldn't be that hard to figure out but it is. Why is there no clear cut way to show the combined inbox? Luckily another thread explained it...You have to create a widget and the widget can be selected to show the combined view, this will give you consistent combined view when you click on it. I just upgraded to CyanogenMod 4.2.2 Jellybean and it has the same deficiency. You'd think that there would be an option somewhere. Find a Google developer to fix this please.

Custom Contact SMS and Email Notifications QUESTION

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.^_^

Question on the Email widget

I am using the email widget (and not the gmail widget) that comes with the P6. I have added multiple email accounts. But how do i configure the widget to show a combined email view on the widget ? There is an option for combined view when i enter into the app, but outside on the homescreen widget only the email account i added first shows up.
dont know man.
Actually i figured it out. I just have to apply the widget AFTER i set up the accounts. So then when widget is added after, it automatically asks choice and you can have combined view on the widget.
