Changing Gmail settings

You can change a number of settings for Gmail. Each Gmail account has its own
settings, so your changes affect only the current account. See “Switch accounts” on
page 140
.

Notification volumes and some synchronization settings are changed in the Settings
application. See “Settings” on page 353.

General Settings

Priority Inbox

Check to make Priority Inbox your default inbox, so it opens when

you start Gmail with new messages (instead of Inbox), and you only receive
notifications for new messages that are part of important conversations. This setting
is not visible unless you have configured Gmail on the web to show Priority Inbox. See
“Working with Priority Inbox” on page 149.

Signature

Opens a dialog where you can enter text to append to every message

you send. See “Appending a signature to your messages” on page 161.

Confirm actions

Opens a dialog where you can check which actions open a

dialog asking you to confirm that action: archiving, deleting, and sending messages.

Reply all

When checked, replaces the

Reply button in message headers with the

Reply all button, so you don’t need to touch the arrow to access it.

Auto-advance

Opens a dialog where you can set which screen opens when you

delete or archive a conversation whose messages you are viewing: the messages in
the next conversation, the previous conversation, or the Inbox or other conversation
list you’re working with.

Message text size

Opens a dialog where you can select the size of text in the

messages you read.

Batch operations

When checked, adds a check box to the left of each

conversation, so you can add it to a batch. See “Working with conversations in
batches” on page 152.

Clear search history

Touch to remove the history of the words you’ve searched

for previously in Gmail in any account. See “Searching for messages” on page 159.
