Receiving and reading emails
Depending on your notification settings, the phone plays a ring
tone, vibrates, or displays the email message briefly in the status bar
when you receive a new email. A new email message ( ) icon also
appears on the notifications area of the status bar to notify you of a
new email.
Note For more information on email notification settings, refer to the “Setting
Gmail settings” section later in this chapter.
Gmail groups each message you send with all the responses you
receive. This conversation list continues to grow as new replies arrive,
so you can always see your messages in context. Conversations are
also referred to as message threads. A new message or a change to
the subject of a current message will begin a new thread.
To view emails
Do one of the following:
Press HOME, then press and hold the status bar, and then slide
down your finger on the screen to open the Notifications panel.
Tap the new email to view it.
While in the Inbox, tap the unread email or the conversation with
the unread email to view it. •
