Why when you delete a message it stays in trash but I can't get it out of trash for good?
BC the gmail app sucks!!! I use the regular email app for my gmail account BC it lets me delete things in the trash but it doesn't look as nice as the gmail app.

All you have to do is go to the message you want to "undelete" and change the label to "inbox" or any other one you want and the email will be moved out of your trash.
And on the new ics gmail you can drag and drop the email to your inbox. not sure if this is possible with the old gmail tho.

Not sure if there is a way to change this but the same thing happens on both my and my wife's G1. If I get an email to my gmail account I get the notification like I'm supposed to, but only the initial email from any given mail chain gives me a notification. If I reply to it, and they reply back again I receive no notification.
I've checked the settings and I see no way to change this. Am I missing something or is there nothing I can do about it?
Are you coming all the way out of them mail when you have read it, (pressing the back button till at homescreen)???
Additionally what ROM are you using is it stock or modded??
I've stopped using the default GMail app the moment I discovered K9 Mail.

Yes, I am backing all the way out. I am using the G1 as is, no mods, ROMs and not rooted.

I tried K9, set it up with my gmail addy but got no notification at all when I sent an email to my address to test it out.
Does K9 not give notifications?

Hmm, I must have missed something. I'll check it out again.
I have the same problem, after I've had my first notification I dont get anymore until I've cleared the top bar notification. I would like a way to get a notification with every email even if I've not cleared the last one.
I've switched to the HTC exchange app which does notify you with every email however I dont really like that mail as much as the gmail one.
Can anyone help?
I actually prefer to use the email app. Problem is, the email app doesn't seem to download updates until I open it (even with it on ignore in Task MGR). Email app set to download every 10 mins. The Gmail app, however, seems to auto download updates.
Any seen or know of a solution?

The Gmail app supports push notifications, which means as soon as you get an email, you'll get it on your phone. But with the email app, it resorts to polling (checking for new messages every 10 minutes) so it refreshes only when you open it
Lucky you, but my gmail app doesn't do anything. I feel that its always off since I don't get any email notification on ie.
Makes sense. I just like the look of the email app better, but I guess u need to stick with gmail for the push ability.

Go to Settings in the Gmail app and make sure that Email Notifications is checked. That's the whole point of using Gmail compared to Hotmail/Yahoo.. (atleast for now)
It annoys me how you can't select multiples in th stock app. I use K9, it has colours (including led flash) for each account, push, and most importantly, multiple select.

Can the SE email app be removed without causing any problems?

What about in Settings/Data Sync - I think you need Google Sync, and then Google Mail Sync selected too.
settings ---> data synchronization ---> synchronize with Gmail
right, I forgot to check that back after the 100th times of rooting.
Thank you,

nice one thx thats fixed my issue didnt even have to ask lol
I'm feeling a bit stupid right now. I've received a few emails lately and after receipt I wanted to add them as a contact. Clicking around in the email doesn't allow me to actually add them. I check my gmail account via web and I can add them from the recent emails.
Am I missing something or what?
I guess I'm the only idiot. LOL
Relax lol, there are others..they just dont wanna be put on the spot haha

Ok, Ive played and looked for a way to do this and i cant seem to get it? Does anyone else have more then one email in the email app, and if so how do you switch between email boxes? The only time i can look at a different box is when i get an email and the phone alerts me i have an email there?!
Press the menu button when you're in the e-mail application.. it should give you some options.
Nope, just select all, Folders, Compose, Refresh, Email Settings.....I checked all not in there

What's under folders? I'd expect your inbox to be there..
go to messaging instead and select the inbox you want.
while i'm new to android, i believe that the email app goes to your default account.

OMG thank you. I was getting so frustrated trying to figure out how to see all my email folders.
Yea...I did the same thing and couldnt figure it out for a little bit. Really pissed me off, but now I just have "Messaging" as an icon and i can select which email from there.
How do you delete messages out of the trash folder in the gmail app?
All I see are commands for making it read/unread, or refiling it into another folder... but I can't find anyway to delete them out of the trash.
Also the one's that get moved to the trash (by me) on my Xoom won't show up in my trash folder in my iphone.. which is odd to me, so i can't even use my iphone to delete these messages if i put them in the trash folder on my Xoom...
I hate having 920348432534 messages in my trash.
Any help will be appreciated.

Does anyone know?
lol... is it a missing feature? I was hoping I was just being slightly naive and missing a button somewhere.

It can be done.
Select message(s) (Long press)
Select icon that shows angled envelope over a horizontal bar.

That doesn't delete it, it archives it... if i do that then go to "All Mail" it's still there.

Actually it's just sticking back in my inbox and popping up a new message notification.
Probably not there on purpose as it goes against the Gmail way of doing things. They don't want you to delete anything.

Well this would be a mistake. Cause it would make me have to go on a computer everytime i want to clear my trash... Which for me is quite frequently...
I don't know about anyone else, but when i want something deleted i don't want it to go to another folder and infinitely sit there... what's the point of deleting then?
doesn't gmail periodically empty the trash folder?
They might... and if that's what i have to rely on, i guess that will have to do.
I was just wanting to find out if i was missing something, or if the feature is actually missing. And it looks like it's missing.
which is a little irritating, but whatever.
The desktop version of Gmail deletes Trash messagse when they're 30 days old. That naturally deletes them from your Xoom's Gmail app, as well.
If there's a way to empty the trash any earlier from the Gmail app, I haven't found it.
This made me look at my gmail folder . I found that on in my evo/xoom/gmail.com all 3 trash folders were the same (all emails found in all 3 places). Every email i deleted from either of the 3 was automatically deleted from the other two. The only way to permanently delete them is from the website (on your computer or xoom). Or just wait 30 days...haha.
