How choose several mails in Gmail?

In Gmail - how can I choose several emails in one go, to either delete them all or mark them all as read? Its bit frustrating to go throught the mails one by one... Any one knows how to do it?

You press on the tick on the left hand side of the message.

You press the MENU button while in GMail, and you get the option to delete a bunch in one go. I had this problem when I first used the Desire lol.

ok...
Thanks works great when I need to delete!
I still need to do it for those I want to 'mark as read'... there is no tick on the left!
Thanks

Either you are missing the obvious or you have some sort of messed up version of Gmail there's always been a tick on the left to select Emails, right from Android 1.0

I was using a different widget that has all mails alwaus open on the scene. Switched it now to the other u referred to.. works ok. Thanks

Slightly off topic, but related to this one.
Does anyone know how to multiple select email that has sync'd from Exchange? The standard mail app doesn't seem to offer this, or I'm going blind
Thanks

I actually decided to go back to the HTC mail widget as it gives notification for incoming Google mail... but its bit irritating as you cant choose several emails as in the above mentioned GMAIL app. Hope someone could figure it out!!

This is similar I use at moment:

There's no setup for it because it's push... probably much better for the battery than checking every x amount of minutes. You just get an email pushed to the phone when you get a new one.

That sounds cool... but how can I disable that for night time? When I got the phone there was a setup somewhere (lost it now!) where you can choose peak and non peak time updates - wonder if that can be used for Gmail?
Thanks

just turn the internet off at night time.
add the widget to the home screen and switch it to off when you go to bed.
from the home screen, menu>add to home>widget>settings>mobile data

So there's no way to select multiple/all emails for delete/'mark as read' using the HTC mail app?

I'd like to know this aswell, I havnt found a way either

no, i don't think the HTC Mail application does not give you an option to select many emails at once.

its silly really lol specially in the morning when I have around 12 rubbish emails from overnight

You can select multiple emails for deletion in the exchange mail app. Just select menu>delete and you then get selection boxes next to all your messages

Gmail broke

I received a low on space message on my android 2.1 phone and then for some reason did the wrong thing below to try to gain some extra local disk space back :
* GMail, Google Apps and GMail Storage. Open GMail and, if needed, "Force stop" then "Clear data."
* Open Google Apps and if needed, "Force stop" it, but don't clear data.
Now when I load up Gmail, it says sync, but no data, i.e. my email is not downloaded, the Gmail app just reports that "Your email will appear shortly"
I have a 32GB sdcard but an still learning how to make use of this. I am not sure with 2.1 that I can easily use the SDcard.
How do I find out the local disk usage on Android ?
I'd be really grateful for some pointers, sorry for such a lame question, i wish i had more time to learn more.

A very quick and easy way is to install quicksettings. You get an icon in the taskbar and if you pull it down and tap it you get lots of options (BT, Wifi, All Volumes etc) and besides that it shows you the actual memory on your device and on the SD.

Thanks for the recommendation. So there are now 2 issues that I have.
* I receive the message, "Phone storage is full, please delete some files" even though the app says i have 4% free on the phone.
* I need to somehow fix GMail, perhaps when I free up some space GMail will sync automatically and does'nt because of this, i don't know.

Jepp 4% is far too less. You normally get first warnings at around 10% left. And a bit is always needed for the system so i can imagine that gmail doesnt sync with 4% memory left...

If I go under 15% my gmail stops syncing and the market updates don't come through. I try to always keep above 15

Resyncing failed because of the lack of space. Removing R.Thunder Lite did it, it's way too large thanks for pointing out what to do.

[Q] HTC MAIL App has trouble sending Gmail attachments. Please Help!

The HTC Mail app really has a tough time sending emails, especially ones with attachments.
Are there any tutorials around about the settings, smtp, and other settings. It seems like the outgoing settings are messed up but I cant seem to figure it out.
Thanks for you help!

I'm assuming that there was a typo in the thread title. If not, You shouldn't use the HTC mail app for gmail stuff. Use the gmail app for that. As for it having trouble, I've never had trouble with it. I suggest clearing off the accounts, and re-setting them up. Don't try to get into any advanced settings; just follow the prompts to enter username/pass, and "proceed" and "next" when prompted.

The thing is, I cant send attachments via the Gmail app. Only pictures. I need to send songs(in various formats), documents, pictures, etc and I can only send these with the stock HTC Mail app. I dont like using apps from the market in place of apps i already have...just a hang up i have.
anyway, i think ive gotten it to work but im not sure how. i just kept messing around with it then i was able to send an email with a 10mb audio file attached.
hopefully whatever i did will stick...
thanks

Not 100% sure how to regain your data if you don't have a google account linked to it anymore. If you did just going to play.google.com and having it send an app like GotYa. But if the person that took your phone did a full wipe on it recovering anything remotely sounds like more of a challenge than an easy task.
With the phone back in hand you _might_ be able to use some regular PC data recovery tools to pull data off the SD card even if its been deleted prior.
Not sure if Anyone will be helpful in tracking things down, Most of the time the phone company just wants to drop the connection on the stolen phone and move forward from there.
Hopefully someone else will have better information than I can provide though. I've only dealt with Lost phones, never actually had one stolen.

Install Plan B from the online Play Store.

Google +?
Did you have either Google + or Dropbox on the phone? Both backup photos if you enabled them during setup.

can't download from google play

I can't download from Google Play store. It says I never accessed from my phone. None of my google accounts worked.
Found my photos but I can not get closer that 323 yards to get my phone. And the police aren't interested because the only crime was the theft from my car. If it were my cold dead body they would look.
Can any of the IMEI or other information help me get closer? How? Force a download? Drag and drop into the apps I have on my google accounts?
Please help!

Thanks got the photos from dropbox! Would love the phone back! Only IMEI etc numbers? See previous post with details on my quest.
Or, how to wipe my contact info.

Install plan b from the play store. Can be done from the computer and remotely added to phone. Its by lookout. Other than that good luck. Glad you got your photos back

Always...ALWAYS link your data with your google account....unless you work for the CIA, FBI, a terrorist organization, or NSA. You can sync your contacts, photos, apps and app settings, you name it. There is no need to walk into a sprint store anymore to "transfer your contacts." I dont know why they even still offer that service when you can just simply sync everything now.

Just a couple of really cool apps I found

Ok first is Sweet Home WiFi Picture Backup by SweeSoft.
It automatically uploads your pictures and videos to your home
computer when connected to your network and charging. You can
change what it uploads, where it uploads, and when it uploads. The
Free Alfa version works great for me with no limitations, I will
definelty be getting the donate version of this one.
Next is SanDisk Memory Zone by SanDisk Corp.
I found this totally by accident, it tests your sd cards speed,
shows how much space is left on internal and external sd cards,
and links to many online accounts to show how much space you have left.
It has its own file browser that lets you upload/download files between your
sd cards and online services. It also has a backup/restore feature
to the online services. I have found it very useful managing files across
several logins/accounts.
Finally is one I found in an old Titanium folder from my EPIC 4g
It is Called WifiBackup w/ 2-Way Sync by MobileFramework
I was only able to find a reference to it on AppBrain but no file, there
is a WifiBackup Pro for 1.99 but it hasn't been updated in a while. This
app was a favorite because you could set it to run at a certain time or hit it
manually and it would backup your entire sd card over wifi to your pc. Set up
was a breeze and it syncs both ways. I'm not sure yet if it backups both internal
and external. I will update post when first sync finishes.
So what are your best/coolest apps?

For me, I love DiskUsage along with Solid Explorer. It's a great tool combo to see what's eating up your internal and external SD storage.
Oh...and first ))

Tweetings for Twitter - is my favorite twitter client. if anyone has a better one other than tweetcaster, etc let me know.
Twicca - My other twitter client I had used before Tweetings.
Staples - I work there so I need to have it

If you like twitter apps, I really like Falcon. It has a great UI and it has a separate widget thats really great also.
Thanks for the other input fellas.

I've been using Tweedle as my everyday twitter client for a while. I see no reason to change yet.

Heres how i did it.
In win7 set up another user account with admin rights.
Go to root directory on your PC and create a folder to save the pics in.
Right click on folder and choose share with, in blank box click arrow then the new user name then add.
In the bottom box to the right of the new user name click read and then change it to read/write.
It will then give you the share name. You'll need this and the new user/password.
In Sweet Home App Use full settings
Automatic Upload chooses when the app uploads your pictures
Select Collections chooses which folders on your phone to upload
Next
if your connected to your WIFI at home just choose next. You have to be connected to your home network for the set up.
Next
enter your user name and password in to the user information boxes.
under Network Share Press button to browse.
Press IP/Name and enter your computers name or internal ip address. Then your back button. Choose your share folder. Then your back button.
Next
in Organize folders I chose '-' and Seperate Collections
The first one decides how it groups your photos i chose none. '2013' would group them in folders by year taken '2013/01' would group them in folders by years and month. The Seperate Collections keeps the folder names you have set up on your phone. So pictures in Camera\vacation on the phone would be saved as Camera\Vacation. if you grouped by '2013' you would get Camera\vacation\2012 Camera\Vacation\2013 .....
That should get you going. The biggest pain is making windows share the folder. I have noticed it hangs up on large videos sometimes but i think it might be my router as the only thing that fixes it is to unplug and replug the router. Rebooting the PC, rebooting phone, Cycling WIFI on/off, or clearing app cache wouldn't let it start back up, but unpluging and repluging the router has fixed it everytime.
Hope that helps

Dropbox
Galaxy S 3 32gb ...Sprint
jelly bean LJ7 rooted....yahhhyuhhh

Dropbox and other cloud services are great if you have the extra space. I usually take lots of pics and videos that would use up the initial 5gb pretty quick, plus having to upload and then download back to computer. Once you get the windows part done you are pretty well set. File managers like astro and solid explorer can then be setup so you can access your PC shares from your phone for easy file transfers without plugging in.
