Re: VIP Inbox Notification Followup

Re: VIP Inbox Notification Followup
No, the problem is not with your iPhone. The problem is with the Apple Mail/Gmail interface. For some reason, Gmail does not push to the iPhone, no matter what your settings are, except when mail is open on the phone.

In my iCloud and local ISP accounts, notifications work fine. It is only the Gmail account that does not push messages; even when I have Time intervals set.

RE: VIP Inbox Notification Followup
Kay, Simply open the Mail app, make sure you are backed out of any accounts to the main screen of the Mail app. Now find VIP in your accounts list, make sure you swipe right once where Voiceover will say More Info for VIP and double tap on this. This will be your list of people which you added to VIP, if you never added anybody this will of course be empty. There is an Add button, double tap it and select who you want in your VIP list from your Contacts, that's all. It also points out right in this area that you can set custom alerts in Notification Settings under Mail, VIP.

Go to Settings, Mail, Contacts and Calendar and make sure you have set up your mail account to fetch mail with Push. This will use a bit more battery, but I don't think it's all that bad, I have 3 accounts set up with Push and when I once set them to fetch mail only once every hour I didn't notice much of a difference as far as battery was concerned.

I guess I'm still a bit unclear how these notifications work as compared to text notifications so I have a followup question. I was hoping to be notified when I get a message from my VIP contacts in the same way I am when I receive a text message. But my VIP notifications don't occur until I launch the Mail app. Is there a setting I need to tweak to get notified even when the Mail app isn't running or is what I'm wanting not possible? Thanks in advance for any assistance. Alan Lemly -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.
