Creating shortcuts to email folders - Verizon HTC One (M7)

Is there any way or app to allow me to create shortcuts to specific mail folders aside from the inbox for the stock mail application? For example, I would like to put shortcuts to the Draft and Sent folders on the Home screen. Thanks.

[solved] Hide photos in stock gallery?

Is there a way to hide folders or photos in the stock gallery?
Album art and other things show that I would rather hide.

I don't think so. Only way I can think of is move them to SD card and unmount SD whenever you have the need to hide them.

Check out Gallery Lock from the market. .99 cents and the app hides any pictures from the gallery you want hidden, also has stealth launcher, so the app that says gallery lock is also hidden. To open it, you dial a 4 digit code in the dialer, and it opens. I reply like the app!

Can apps still use them if they're locked?

U can get gallery excluder apk from xda, just do search. That would work perfect, it's what I use

You can also add a blank file named ".nomedia" to the folder with the files you want to exclude from the gallery. It's recursive and all sub folders from that point will be excluded.
I had to do this with podcasts that were showing up in my gallery.

Right Android ignores all files and folders with labels beginning with a period.
.backup

yup, this is the best solution .nomedia works across all android devices, it will make the graphic apps ignore the folders with the empty .nomedia file
Photo vault does the trick

Thanks for everyone's input and ways of doing this. I wasn't able to hide the album art, but the rest is now hidden.
Thanks again. xoxoxo

hide it pro is legit you can hide pics videos apps conversations etc and it it disguised as a program called audio manager
The .nomedia file has to be the first file in a folder in order to ignore media there. If files are already indexed, just rename such folders forth and back (opening the Gallery in the middle) and there you go.
You can use the Nomedia application for creating easily the .nomedia
Quickpic is a good app, hides full folders with password and it won't show unless you put the password. You can use your regular gallery app and have quick pic just hide the folders desired and they won't show on your regular gallery app

I think he just wants to hide them, not password protect them.
Put a . In the folder name
I.e.
.pix = hiden
Pic = shown
You can then see them in a filemanager app

This doesn't work when the folder name has to be preserved, you can't just add a dot to the name. Even if this did work, there are some applications that won't read files or folders marked as hidden, even if that is the predefined folder for their data.
So, there are two quite different solutions: one is adding a .nomedia to the folder and other renaming the folder or file itself with a dot in the front. Just choose what you need most.

One click email widget

Guys
Is there a widget that would allow me to 1-click open Gmail with that person's contact filled in the To: column. I can't see one
Thx
You could create a contact widget and do it in two clicks.

I'm really a 1-click guy - any other external widget program would do too

How do I see e-mails in HTML format by default?

I'm using the stock mail app with Exchange and I have it set to download the entire message, but when I open any e-mail, there is a button at the bottom that says "load more", only after I press that does the e-mail appear in HTML format. Is there anyway to make it appear in HTML by default?
Thanks,
+1 I would like to know this too. It's really annoying. Gmail does this perfectly.

1x1 Email Widget Gone in JB

After JB update, the 1x1 email widget that allows you to place an account inbox shortcut on the home screen is missing. Does anyone know how to get it back?
I really need this because have multiple accounts and it makes it easy to open the right inbox directly.

[Q] Stupid Question.. I need help on

Stock Note 2.. up to date..
for some reason I cannot find my email Icon. I just started a new job and we have to use exchange. I set up the email account via Sync accounts..
Now here is the kicker.. I cannot find the EMAIL icon in any grid to place it on my home screen. I looked into Settings... App Manger.. All and there is an icon there for it. .But for the life of me I cannot find it anywhere to add it to my home screen for easy access..
Anyone know how to magically make the icon reappear on my phone with out having to do a wipe?

I assume you are on the TW stock launcher? If so, try this: touch and hold empty space on home screen... select "Apps and widgets".... under Apps tab, select "Email". There's also an Email widget on the Widgets tab
The widget works.. but I am just looking for the email Icon.. I cannot find that little guy any where..
Is it hidden or disabled

Go to your app drawer then tap your menu soft key. The show hidden apps is at the bottom of the list.
There are no apps currently hidden... it never showed up in the app drawer this way. ..

If you can set up your email and you have a widget that works I sure do not see how you could have lost your email icon. Did you tuck it away in a folder? Post screen shots of all your app drawer pages if you do not mind.
Here you go.

That is weird. The only odd thing I noticed was that you have two gallery icons. The only thing that looks like email appears to be Microsoft's icon. Are you running any icon packs.
Everything is stock. ..no packs what so ever.

If you're rooted, go to /system/app folder and see if you have "SecEmail.apk" or "SecExchange.apk". If you do, you can try reinstalling the apks. If not, you need them. Easy to root if you're not.
Not rooted.... still can't figure it out. .. The icon does show up for ways to share attschments etc. ..

Install a file explorer that will allow you to get to /system/apps then tap on your SecEmail.apk, you will have to enable unknown sources, it should try to install the email apk. I do not know for sure if it will install or not and it may not even help. Reset your security setting for unknown sources if you want afterwards if you like. I have heard that some Samsung apks cannot be installed after initial boot.
It starts the install...but it does not complete it. I have astro by the way.
