Is there anyway to get back the old way the badge worked? Before Oreo it would just tell me how many emails in my inbox now seems like when I get new in inbox emails, i think it calculates emails assigned to labels as well. It used to not. I have all the miscellaneous notifications off as well.

I've noticed that the number of e-mails shown in the sliding panels is not the number of unread e-mail in your inbox. Well, it is, until you open the mail client, then it resets to zero, regardless of whether you read any messages.
So my Outlook currently has 4 unread messages. I click on the Messages panel, click on Outlook and my inbox opens, and correctly I have 4 unread messages. I do not open any of them, so they are still unread.
Going back to the home screen, the sliding panel now says zero.
i.e. this is really showing the number of unread messages since you last opened the mailbox, not the total number of unread messages.
is this just my build? I'm running one of the Ricky/Kavana builds, number 4 I think.

Maybe it's just me...but it doesn't really bother me that I can't see the number of unread messages on my sliding panel. I choose to focus my anal tendencies (pardon the disgusting pun, lol) towards things like fonts and 3G! By the way, where's the 3 daggum G T-Mo?!
I actually like this feature - because I'll always have unread messages in my desktop outlook, without this feature it would always show something like "34". But since I also have a few POP email accounts setup in my phone, I could never tell if I have any new emails in them because they would be mixed in with the grand "unread total".
But, because you can clear the count for the "outlook" inbox by simply opening up that inbox, then any number I subsequently see for email count will indicate that I have waiting email in one of my POP accounts - very cool to me.
BTW, does anyone know where these "new unread since last inbox opened" counts are stored in the registry?
There NOT at locations like this:
HKCU\System\State\Messages\TotalEmail\Unread\Count
Because those are the "unread" count, not the "new since last access" count that the sliding panel notification uses.
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

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.
Whenever I get multiple texts or emails then the notifications stack and it say "2 unread messages" or something along those lines. Would it be possible to split the notifications to allow for it to list each notification individually?
anyone now if this is possible?

I get individual notifications for email and sms....
I think if you have a single app loading email from multiple sources it will not tell you specifically which account the incoming email has come from, therefore it just counts it as unread mail.
I wonder why there is no GMail Notification on the Productivity Lockscreen? Why is there only a notification for the plain Mail Client, but not for GMail?
Am I just blind and can't find the option to activate it, or is it faulty, that means you other guys have GMail notification?
I appreciate any feedback
Probably deliberately missing as HTC use their own Email client
Blame Google, not HTC. Its been ages now but Google changed the Gmail app to improve security and one of the changes is that other apps are no longer able to query to the number of messages unread in Gmail.

I thought that was fixed as of Gmail 2.3.6, I believe.
Others apps are able to use that call function (SMS Unread, MissedIt!, etc)
Has anyone had any luck with this? I would love to have my Gtalk and Gmail notifications on the lock screen when I have new messages...

Only workaround I can think of, off the top of my head would be to install a Lockscreen replacement (WidgetLocker for example) and use an app such as SMS Unread Count OR Missed It! to get those quick counts in there.
I don't know of any app that can give you a quick preview of your unread emails (subject, etc) that's not to say that it doesn't exist; I'm just not aware of one.
can't you just add google mail as one of the accounts within the native app? open the native app and go to menu/new account. you can choose a mail provider, including gmail. don't know if it will run two accounts at once. haven't tried it, and am not using gmail as my main account. so take what i suggest with a grain of salt. good luck.
Is there a way to display multiple gmail messages or go sms messages in my notification bar? Often it will say Gmail - 2 unread messages and Go SMS- 3 unread messages. I would like for all of them two show up one after another. I know that if you have two new gmail messages in two different folders it will display two notifications, but the same inbox doesn't. Thanks!

No, I do not believe it is possible if they're in the same inbox.
Uncheck "Notify once" under label settings... I think
