If you have configured Email to send and receive email from more than one account, you can view all
messages sent to all accounts in your Combined Inbox.
Open the Accounts screen and touch Combined Inbox.
Messages in the Combined Inbox are color coded along their left sides,
by account, using the same colors that are used to color code your
accounts in the Accounts screen.

Only some of your account’s recent email is downloaded to your phone.
To download earlier messages in batches for IMAP or POP3 accounts,
touch Load more messages at the bottom of the list of email. For
Exchange ActiveSync accounts, you can change how many days or
weeks of email to store on your phone; see “Adding and editing email
accounts”.
Reading your messages
You can read messages in your Combined Inbox or in the Inbox or other folders for individual accounts.
When you receive a new message, you also receive a notification in the Status bar, unless you’ve turned off
Email notifications using the Email Account settings, where you can also set whether Email notifications
vibrate the phone and pick a ringtone. See “Change an account’s settings”. When you touch an Email
notification, it opens the combined Inbox. Some attached images are displayed in the message; others
have buttons for opening them. Attachments you download are stored on your phone’s USB storage or SD
card, depending on your model of phone. Viewing, reopening and deleting your downloaded files is
described in “Managing downloads”. The Google Talk online status is shown next to the name of the
sender of each message. You can touch that status indicator to open Quick Contact or add new contact to
your Contacts list.
Touch an arrow to read the next or previous message in the folder.
The message opens in a screen with information about who sent it, the
date it was sent, and related information at the top, followed by the
contents of the message.
