Change a conversation’s labels

When reading a conversation’s messages, press Menu and touch

Change labels.

You can also change the labels of a batch of conversations, in the

same way that you label a batch of conversations, by touching the

Labels button.

In the dialog that opens, check or uncheck the labels.

Touch OK.

Viewing conversations by label

When viewing your Inbox or another conversation list press Menu

and touch Go to labels.

Your labels are presented in a scrolling list.

Touch a label to view a list of conversations with that label.

The conversation list resembles your Inbox, but the label replaces

“Inbox” at the top left of the list. You work with labeled

conversation lists in the same way that you work with your Inbox.

Synchronizing your conversations by label

The Gmail webmail service has the resources to store all the messages you’ve ever sent or received; your

phone does not. To save space, Gmail downloads only some of your messages to your phone. You can set

which conversations’ messages are kept current on your phone, by label and what portion of those

conversations and by time.

Use the Settings application to control how and when applications synchronize their data. See “Accounts &

sync settings”.

Select which labels to synchronize

Open your Inbox.

Press Menu and touch More > Settings > Choose the account < Labels.

The Synchronization settings screen opens, displaying a list of your Gmail labels, for the account listed at

the top of the screen. Below each label is its current synchronization setting: Sync all, Sync 4 days or no

label (not synchronized).

Touch a conversation label whose synchronization settings you want to change.

A dialog for that conversation label opens, with three options:

Sync none - Don’t download any conversations that have only this label.

Sync 4 days - Download the previous 4 (or number of days you set) of conversations.

Sync all - Download all conversations with this label.

Set how many days to synchronize

Open your Inbox.

Press Menu and touch More > Settings > Labels.

Touch Number of days to sync.

Enter the number of days and touch OK.
