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.

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
