On my prior phone, GS4, there was an option for email scaling where the email app would fit the email so you would not have to scroll from side to side. I'm not finding any setting like this on the G4. Is there something I am missing. I can pinch to get the emails to fit but would like the app to do it automatically.
Is there a setting that I'm missing?

Ok,
(Cannot find any forum for just silly starter Android questions, so putting here since I have the Evo.)
Email.
I have two accounts set up and they are working on the Evo. (Hotmail & Earthlink) I do get that little notice on the envelope that an email has been received...but...I cannot tell which account has the email. This leads to two questions:
1) Is there any better (maybe app) way to switch between accounts? Having to make multiple taps to switch accounts seems huge waste of time when I would expect to just have both apps listed and chose which with one tap.
2) If not above, then how can I get two of those little envelope icons...one for each account. (My assumption would be that would split the notifications correctly and open the email associated with that icon)
Any help much appreciated as I find little when out searching.
Just to clarify, I am not looking to find a better way to 'combine' emails. I am not currently planning to suck everything into one account like GMail. I use separate accounts on purpose as they have different functions.
i guess you could probably get a separate email app from the market, use that for one of your accounts then use the other email app (the one that came with the phone) for the other account.
go to where you want to put the email inbox on a home screen, then long press, then click shortcut, then click mail inbox, then choose the inbox you want to see, presto a shortcut to that inbox. Hope this helps.
Edit: If you want to push these accounts through Gmail check out this post. You can add the accounts and show their inboxes seperately, and show them seperately on the home screen

Try K9 email. It is free
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
using the gmail app, and it works if i get a mail in the inbox, but not if it's in a label only.
any way of fixing this?
If you have a certain Label set that you need notifications for, you're going to have to turn off "skip the inbox" in your filtering.
well, that's carp! the whole point of labels is to filter the emails. might as well just leave everything in one big pile in the inbox
hopefully, there'll be a proper mail app at some point - the HTC one does the same thing but worse - it doesn't detect any emails apart from the inbox at all.
ta for the quick reply though
The default apps are rather rubbish, Have you tried K9 or anything else?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
k9? nope. off to google
Tried it, its the same as the gmail app.
Press menu.
Select settings.
Select labels.
Change setting for the label you want from none to sync all or however many days.
Easy peasy
found the option now. weird
ta
will see how it works out
I had no idea I could scroll in the label section

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well to be fair it's how Google DID design their mail. You have to remember they're search experts.
The problem is people still don't get the concept of "labels" and use them like "folders". If you were using folders it would make sense to have notifications for them. Most IMAP clients provide for this. Any given email can only exist in one folder unless you make a copy.
With labels a single email could have several labels. No copying necessary. If you had notifications for say three of the labels you used and one mail had three of those labels you'd get three notifications for that single email.
What I'm saying, especially with Gmail, don't worry about it all being in the inbox. As long as things are filtered and labeled appropriately you should still be able to sort them how you want using those labels and as a last resort you have the BEST email search engine on Earth provided by the company at the forefront of search.
i get labels and some do share 'folders', but in the end, i'd rather have 3 notifications for 1 mail than none tbh.
i can hope though
Search for gmail label notifier in the market. Works great.
I have set my lock screen to "productivity", so I can see my alerts, the "issue" is that my GMail app notifications do not appear, am I missing a setting somewhere or is this the same for everyone?
Well, I can only select MAIL in Settings, GMail is missing.. seems to be a missing Software Feature.. Maybe because GMail isn't a Sense-App?

Same for me, the option in settings allows you to only pick accounts set up in the Email app.
Another annoyance!
OK. I need some help PLEASE. I'm trying to migrate to a GS3 from an iPhone 4. My GS3 is stock, t-mobile, and no mods, just downloaded some apps.
OK: I have GMAIL, the "EMAIL" app that was stock, and I added K9 mail. All 3 are configured with my 2 email accounts I use. I have disabled notifications on Gmail and Email, and let notifications on in K9 because K9 was the only one I was able to get to format the emails FIT TO SCREEN - the other 2 wanted me to scroll left and right which seemed really strange to me, and I am use to the way iPhone handles email, which does always fit width to screen... and K9 did that so I liked it the best because of that.
Apparently it CONTINUOUSLY connects thru whatever network/data connection you have (wifi/mobile) and EATS battery and bandwidth. I had to set sync to never to stop it. Now of course, I'm not being notified of emails arriving at my box(es).
Obviously I'm doing something wrong? My goal is to have this phone sync contacts with my gmail account (like my iphone did with google-sync-exchange).. and get instant email notifications pushed to my device (like my iphone did).
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
How many people use the default email client?
Do you know how we can get emails to fit the width of the email client? Most emails that I receive, it doesn't fit and I have to scroll left <--> right to see the whole email even after zooming all the way out.
I know the Gmail app now has the auto-fit feature.
I use the default client cause I also get my work emails.
Thanks.
From what I've seen the app defaults the e-mails to a desktop size so when viewing in portrait zoomed all the way out you still can't see the e-mails. It's not a problem for me but when it is all I do is view landscape. You can turn off the split-view mode too so you get the full horizontal resolution.
