[Q] unread email widget - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I had a quick look at the market google and xda forum but I can not find what I am looking for.
I would like a 1x1 widget that shows how many unread email (pop account) I have.
Do you know of anything like that?
Kind Regards

Like this at the bottom of my screen ?:

not really
I am just interested by a 1x1 widget like the one for gmail but for pop accounts
does it make sense?

Me too!
I'm looking also for something like the notification bubble for the stock (pop / imap) e-mail.
Like those from ADW Notification or GO Launcher Notification. Just that they provide bubbles only for Gmail.
Someone knows something like that?

SMS Unread Count by kanokgems
Supports unread SMS, Missed calls and unread gmail messages

incredible, we can not find an unread widget for pop account ?

This in not for pop account.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

Looking for this as well. amazed that there arent tons of these. Not interested in gmail or kø etc just want a 1x1 widget for pop and imap email. The only thing nearing what I am after is Email Widget but that requires k9.

Well you probably already know this, and it may not be what you want, but I will throw it out there anyway.
The stock Samsung email icon, when used with the stock Touchwiz, shows the unread counter on itself. Would this work for you?

Thats the 4x2 one? Dunno about the OP but for me i have several accounts and rather than take up a tonne of screen room with the stock email preview widget (nice as it is) I woild rather have a few account icons highlighting the number of unread emails.

No I was talking about the 1x1 icon itself, not the widget. Under Touchwiz that icon shows unread mail count, but yeah that count is global I think, for all email accounts under Samsung Mail
Has anyone tried the Executive Assistant that was free on Amazon a couple of days ago? That had some widgets I believe. But it is probably crap.

[Q] Lockscreen display of missed email

Anyone have experience with getting Exchange email to show unread emails in Missed It ! application ?
Im using the app with Widget Locker, works great for SMS and phone calls. Adding email as a monitored app does nothing and displays [mails] [mails_str] on the lock screen.
All I really want is a redirect of the notification icon to the lockscreen or the text entry "____ unread emails". I hide the notification bar, so dont see missed messages until after unlocking phone.
Is Exchange tie-in not possible at all or can there be a workaround for the paramater ? I dont want to forward through Gmail (which works), K9 or touchdown, as I have read about.
BTW - I found the following, possible to port to Comm Rom 2 ?
"If you are rooted, you can install Cyanogenmod 6.xxx (whatever version it's at now) and it includes an email widget that shows the unread count for your exchange email & I believe it shows the total unread from the combined inbox."

[Q] Stock email app widget notification

I am looking for a widget for my lock screen which will show unread mail via the stock email app (POP Hotmail accounts)
I have looked on the market and there are loads for gmail but can't seem to find anything for stock.
I have tried missed it! but that does display the correct string.
Anyone have any ideas?
Anyone?
I was looking for something similar myself recently and someone pointed out that the stock email icon (not the widget) i.e. long press>shortcuts>applications>Email) has an unread email counter on it and they were right

I think that was me. Glad it helped. Note it works with stock launcher only. Any other launcher just shows the icon.

I've noticed this counter in the app draw and on my main page but how do you add this apply shortcut to the lock screen?
I've tried adding the shortcut in widget locker but it just shows the icon and no counter

Yeah, I do not think that icon will work on any other launcher or screenlock app besides the stock touchwiz. You need to find something else.
The default mail on this phone and maybe android in general is not as good as GMail , that is the reality.

Email notifications

Hi all - first post so i hope it a relatively decent question. Did have a search but couldnt find anything related to this particular issue on this phone.
Im not sure whether this is better in the apps section or the phone specific but thought i would ask here first.
I have an unrooted S2 and i would like to use another Launcher.
My problem is that i cannot seem to find and App or Launcher or anything that can alert me of unread emails.
I have tried 'missed it' and executive assistant but to no avail.
Missed it works for calls and SMS but not email.
I should add that i am not using G mail but using the built in samsung email App with two accounts (1 POP and 1 Exchange).
If i receive an email using the default launcher and open the app drawer there is an email icon which displays the unread count in a red bubble. So if i add this icon to desktop or to the dock i can see unread mails.
If i am using Launcher Pro for example this icon is not in my app drawer or anywhere that i can find it. In stead there is exactly the same icon in the drawer but this does not display the unread count.
I am assuming that this is a semi sansung widget (although i cannot add it to desktop as a widget even in the standard launcher).
I have also tried using the social hub with launcher pro (and Go launcher and ADW) but again i get no notifications.
I still get the notifications in the notification bar no matter what launcher i use but these dissapear after a while.
This is currently the only thing stopping me using a different Launcher and it would be great if anyone had any ways around this.
Unfortunately i cannot and dont really want to forward my emails to Gmail.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Nath

Gmail unread notification

I like the Asus main unread widget. But is there something similar that will talk to Gmail?
something similar? i dont think so...not something that LOOKS like the asus one.
however, there are a couple things you can do.
i know for a face APEX launcher Pro has the option to put an "iOS" style unread bubble on the gmail icon on you home screen.
then there is the stock gmail widget which gives you an unread count in the upper right hand corner. doesn't look as clean as the asus widget, but it is a very functional widget.
