Title: HTC + Gmail Qu Post by: Simon Galloway on April 22, 2012, 11:57:59 AM I want to have a small handful of emails (i.e. all my e-tickets, refs and bookings etc when travelling) retained on my HTC phone, using Gmail.
I have tried, starring them, making them important, creating a separate folder for them, but after a while, they seem to expire. Any tips pls on how to do this? TIA!

Change it to do not delete
Title: Re: HTC + Gmail Qu Post by: Simon Galloway on April 22, 2012, 12:32:40 PM Thanks, but I get an awful lot of email, often with embedded screenshots etc that would gunk up the phone in no time - is there any hope of being able to set permissions to a sub folder only? Otherwise, the only other option I suppose would be to add another email account and just fwd the stuff I want to that? Seems a bit clumsy, but it would work...
Title: Re: HTC + Gmail Qu Post by: kinboshi on April 22, 2012, 12:58:08 PM Using a filter to forward the specific emails to another gmail account, and store those permanently on your phone would be a decent solution.
I have important emails that I apply a label to in gmail using a filter, and as long as I have a connection, I can refresh the email and get the info. I use this app to give me label-specific widgets to emails on my phone (and different alerts, etc.): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.hubris.gmailnotifierpro&hl=en Title: Re: HTC + Gmail Qu Post by: kinboshi on April 22, 2012, 01:07:57 PM (http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc43/kinboshi/Screenshot_2012-04-22-13-02-20-1.png)
That's a screenshot from my phone showing the gmail label notifier widgets. You can have a text label with them as well, but I know what they're for so choose not to show them. Title: Re: HTC + Gmail Qu Post by: outragous76 on April 22, 2012, 01:53:52 PM You have 73k emails? Hoarder issues IMO
Title: Re: HTC + Gmail Qu Post by: kinboshi on April 22, 2012, 01:58:03 PM You have 73k emails? Hoarder issues IMO LOL. That's just a in the inbox, also got plenty in 'sent' and others archived. No need to delete many emails in gmail though, as there's plenty of storage space and between the labels and search it's easy to find the emails I want at any time.

Title: Re: HTC + Gmail Qu Post by: Simon Galloway on April 22, 2012, 02:13:07 PM how is the One X btw? My current contract has 6months to go, any views on how far out I will be able to squeeze for an upgrade?
Title: Re: HTC + Gmail Qu Post by: kinboshi on April 22, 2012, 04:21:29 PM I love it in terms of the speed, screen, OS and the overall build. Unfortunately, it has a built-in battery rather than one that can be replaced and that's a shame imo.
Really happy with it, and very impressed how much quicker it is at simple things such as browsing the web compared to the Desire. Also manages to multi-task loads of apps without slowing down or anything crashing. Definitely recommend it. I got it in white, which I quite like even if it's a bit poncy.
