Gmail
Gmail is Google’s web-based email service. When you first set up your phone, you configured it to use an
existing Gmail Account or you created a new account. The first time you open the Gmail application on
your phone your Inbox contains the messages from your Gmail Account on the web.
Opening Gmail and your Inbox
When you open Gmail, your most recent conversations are displayed in your Inbox.
When you return to Gmail after using other applications, the last screen you were working with is
displayed.
Open Gmail
Touch the Gmail icon on the Home screen or in the Launcher.
See “Opening and switching applications”.
Your Inbox displays those conversations with the newest messages at the
top. All of your conversations are displayed in your Inbox unless you
delete, archive or filter them.
If you change your preferred inbox to the Priority Inbox in Gmail in the
web, you can also view it and set it as your default inbox in Gmail on your
phone. See “Working with Priority Inbox”.
The current Google Account is displayed at the top right of the Inbox. If
you have more than one account, touch the current account to switch
accounts as described in “Switch accounts”. Adding and working with
accounts is described in “Accounts”.
