Hi:
Is there any way to have the gmail icon show how many unread mails you have, just the way HTC Mail icon does?
I think this will be a very nice addition to gmail funcionality.
Thanks.

I have 2 gmail accounts on my phone setup right now and i hate having to switch between them while in gmail app itself. Is there anyway to have 2 gmail icons on the home screen 1 for each?
Would also like to know this. It is a pain in the ass how the gmail app handles multiple accounts. I would at least want a option to have the app reset to the accounts screen every time I close it.

I use "Gmail Unread Count" widget from the market, working pretty nicely so far. I have 2 gmail accts and put a widget for each on my homescreen, has customizable icon and shows the number of emails unread in each acct and tapping whichever widget opens the acct you have it set to check.

So I use gmail, and a corporate email account.
I can't stand 200+ notifcation bar messages a day for my email so i disable the notifications. I use gmail unread count widget and have for over a year. However, it does not do exactly what i want. So, here is my wishlist.
A widget, which looks like an email envelope that sits on my main homescreen, and is 1x1 in size.
Said widget should give me an unread count number for my gmail account and exchange account all in one number on the widget.
When the widget is tapped, it opens the stock samsung combined inbox app, which hosts my gmail and exchange accounts.
As it is now, my unread count widget only shows my gmail unread count, and when tapped, launches the android default gmail app, NOT the samsung combined inbox. So, I have to manually check for exchange emails periodically to see if I have work emails. This basically sucks. I mean it's great for gmail, but for work, i end up being late to respond when I'm out and about.
Does a widget like this exist? If not, is this something I could make in app inventor?
Help?
Launchr pro has that built in as an option. It may only be for gmail, that is all I use and all I can confirm.
Hmm... Problem is, I use adw launcher. Anyway to extract that apk?

It's not an apk by itself, it's a feature of LP. It doesn't work that way.

hello
i have setup gmail in the standard arc email application (in addition to gmail application).
i have set it up with push mail (using exchange not imap).
whenever i get a new mail, I am getting the push notification on the status bar, but if I open the inbox the new mail is not there. this is the 'at' sign notification (not the gmail application notification which i am also getting). I have to refresh to get the mail. this seems strange to me.
I have disable contact and calendar sync for gmail exchange setup because they are already synchronized by andriod.
why am i not using the gmail application? i like the clean inbox of the native app better. also i will be using a few more mail accounts and want a unified inbox.
this issue seems to have somehow solved itself
An FYI, for those who use the unread email count widgets.
Since the last few updates to which Google broke this ability for third party apps to check your unread email count and instantly show it, a FIX has been created.
Even with this latest 'security' update, this modded fix is the answer.
This fixes the unread email apps and launchers that instantly shows you your unread gmail email.
Please see this link:

This really irritates me, that our competitors are able to see their unread emails INSTANTLY, except for Google Gmail on an Android phone. You all seen the commercials for the windows phones, on how with the live tiles show their unread email.
This little convenience should be a standard protocol with all Android phones. A little unread email count widget should come with the instillation of Gmail from the market.
Anyway, please check out the thread..
I have other more important Email accounts than Gmail.
I want SOME homescreen Widget when running LauncherPro (Stock email or other) to show the number of Unread emails.
Why is this so impossible??????
Does anyone know how to get recent emails to show on the Gmail widget instead of starred?
