Hello, Grant is correct. I just checked mine and remember now why I have
separated things even on the same email account. So, I have exchange for
contacts only and then I have an imap one for email and calendars. So,
even though both are using the same gmail account, it still works
beautifully. Despite the exchange limitations, syncing contacts does
work like a charm and no issues are made this way.

This makes perfect sense to me. Right now, I'm syncing everything in
IMAP and Exchange, so I have two sets of emails and calendars. I figured
I'd keep both around until I used them enough to know which ones I want
to keep. Thanks a lot for the advice!

Hi Christopher, what you can do is set up both an IMAP and an Exchange
account, then in your Exchange account, turn off mail synchronization.
This is an option in the account settings for your exchange account.
So you'll have an exchange account syncing contacts, and a separate
IMAP account for mail. I hope this is clear, it sounds complicated but
this is the way my Google account is set up, and it works like a
charm!

What about the ability to sync contacts with Google Contacts? I use
Exchange just so I can synch my contacts with Google Contacts. If
another app did this for me, I'd probably stay away from Exchange.

I feel like I'm weird for responding to my own messages, but that's ok.
One thing which this app also do is push notifications when you receive
new email. Of course, I think that's what got the thread discussion
about it in the first place. It does that very well by letting me know
when I have new messages in my inbox. However I don't know of a way to
get alerts for other mailboxes other than inbox. I also don't see a way
to add additional accounts. I may play with this a little more if I have
time, but at least for me, this doesn't warrant replacing the usage of
the native mail app which already does much on the iPhone.
Thanks.

I am writing this message using the Gmail app. It basically looks like
the Gmail webpage. As I suspected, it allows you to do things like
manager labels and tag messages as spam. However I am encountering the
issue when using a Bluetooth keyboard, that the edit field for me to
type the message doesn't allow me to use the keyboard at all times. So I
ended up turning off the keyboard and now I am just using the onboard
keyboard on the screen. This is that similar issue that I have
experienced on webpages using Safari when I try to fill in forms. Other
than that, things seem very speech friendly with voiceover. Your action
buttons for each message are at the top of the screen instead of at the
bottom like they are in the default mail app. By default it will show
you a delete button, archive button, and more button. If you choose the
more button, you can do things like reply, Mark as spam, or added as a
label. The way I personally use Gmail, it doesn't require me to be on
the website much to do things like marking messages as spam, editing
labels, or moving things to other folders. So I probably will not be
using this app for very much. I am dictating right now, and I think what
I meant by the last sentence is that the things that I use Gmail for on
the website, I can still do there without having to use this app. For
typical male reading, replying, and composing, I can still use the
default mail app which comes with the iPhone.

Well, I figure it's free and you don't know until you try. So, I'm
gonna get it and see if there is any difference other than the
ability to mark messages as spam, or add stars to them and let you
all know.

I have a Gmail account and use it in the regular E-mail app. I
get
notifications when the mail comes in. Why would I want the Gmail
app over
this? With the screen readers, this might come out as sarcastic
which is not
my intention. I really want to know, smiles.

Subject: Gmail app now has push notifications
Hello all,
I haven't been following this list a lot lately so if this
topic has
already been beaten to death, I apologize in advance - I did a
super
quick search of past postings and didn't see it!
For all you Gmail users out there, the Gmail app, while not
entirely
accessible in certain respects, now has push alerts for new
Emails.
There have been a few alternatives that I've used in the past,
such as
the Ultimate Notifier app - which checks mail every thirty
seconds -
and setting up a Google Exchange account in Mail - which has a
few
bugs. Now, you can have true push notifications for your Gmail
account.
Cheers,
Grant
