Rick, I think you can, but the process seems a bit cumbersome.
Personally I think doing it from the web site will be faster. At least
for me. I've done it from Safari in the iPhone or Firefox in Windows.
Just use the page I recommended for the basic html interface.

Raul,
Is it possible to create labels right from the Gmail app or does it have to
be done from the web site.

Hi, if you think of labels as folders, you are good to go. Gmail by default
just puts everything in the all mail folder. The only real folders in gmail
in fact are all mail, trash, spam, and I think inbox.
Everything you receive is categorized in the inbox and all mail folder.
When you want mail to be sorted in so-called folders, you just apply a label
to it. The label acts like a folder. So for example, list messages here for
me get the iOS label. In fact they are really being moved to the all mail
folder and out of my inbox so they don't appear there. However since the iOS
label is applied and since labels are seen as folders by my windows mail
program Thunderbird and by the iPhone mail app, I just think of labels as
folders and folders as labels. So, when it comes to Google mail, the terms
are interchangeable. So, what I do is go to http://mail.google.com/mail/h
and create filters on my gmail account. I made one for this list which says
that any mail addressed to viphone skips the inbox and has the iOS label
applied to it. Doing it this way means that all my mail is sorted
accordingly without me having to worry about rules in Thunderbird or the
lack of rules in iPhone mail.
I hope this makes sense.

Hi,
I don't use Gmail live if I can possibly avoid it since I just don't
get on with the idea of labels etc.
However, I use the native mail app and love Gmail via IMAP settings.
I got the impression that any email moved to a folder then receives
that label and that's usually good enough for me. However, the
mention of two labels below did get me wondering if this would be of
use to me so would be interested to know if there is a work around for
this in either the normal mail app or an alternative.
Thanks.

Good question, Wayne. As far as I am aware you could indeed move it
to multiple folders from an IMAP account, but it doesn't sound like a
lot of fun! I don't see why you couldn't apply multiple labels in the
native Gmail app, but haven't explored it enough to give an accurate
answer.

AS long as we're comparing the mail and Gmail apps, is it possible
to apply multiple labels to a message in both apps? I mainly use
Gmail on a Windows computer and in a web browser. Most of my mail is
setup to have filters applied when new messages come in that fit
certain criteria, like from this list. However, occasionally I may
want to apply more than one label to a message. I don't think this
can be done in the native mail app, since hwen you move a message
from the inbox to a folder, you have applied a label to it. And it
doesn't seem wise to keep moving it from folder to folder just to
apply several labels.
I've got a lot of messages in my Gmail system, mainly ones that are
archived, so having multiple labels is a good thing for me to stay
organized.

Wayne

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.

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.

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
