Doesn't matter if I use the email or messaging icon on my home screen I still can't see how many unread emails I have. Yes gmail work's fine using either the 'gmail unread count' or Zeam Launcher (or even GO Launcher EX). However my yahoo accounts (of which you can only see one unless using the stupid messaging app which doesn't show gmail but does show texts, I presume idea was to have a one stop shop for messaging but then left out gmail!) refuse to show on the icon like it did on my Desire.
Any ideas (aside from rooting).

I have searched high and low but cannot find a solution for me on this problem. I am running the Gingerbread RC by AT&T and have been using GO Launcher EX for a while now. I cannot find an option to make a shortcut to a specific email account's inbox. The default EMail link goes to the phones default account, and the messaging icon goes to the list of all the accounts. I would like to make it so that I can have individual icons for each email account, like Blackberry does is the best description. I have tried AnyCut, K9 (which sucks for exchange), and about anything else I have read.
Only thing I will not do is change my launcher applications. Please help me if you have any ideas.
you should have an "email" client as well as a "gmail" client, the email client can be linked to yahoo,hotmail, etc.... so I'm pretty sure you want a shortcut to your "email" application and then just have it setup for your different accounts..
hope that helped.

Yeah the email application only links to you default account. Cannot change to anything else besides the default. I have 2 exchange emails and would like to have a default icon that leads to both in one click instead of multiple clicks.
I had this before updating, but can't do it in this version? here is something kinda close to what you want. make a new motorola widget on screen for Messages, when is starts it will let you select which message source you want. Not the same as an icon, but close. it will bring up the last message, and you can select the inbox from there. I made one for each of my mail accounts and one for text msgs.
Multiple Exchange Account Icons for Home Screen
I have 2 Exchange accounts setup on my Atrix 4G. What I want to do is have 2 seperate icons on my home screen. One for each of the two accounts. I just want to touch one icon and go to that inbox. The "Email" icon in the drawer only takes me to the default account. I cannot find any way to setup a second icon for the second account. I already know about the Messaging app/folder that has all the accounts in it, but this is not what I want. Has anyone found a way to do this? Thanks for any help you can provide.
I'm having an issue with the stock mail app (aside from its crappy large font and horrid UI)
When I recieve an HTML email e.g. a notification from Facebook or from a company advertising something - I can't asee the text.
Facebook emnails have the blue hyperlinks but if it was a notification of a message, I can see the friend names and pics but not the comment/text next to the name???
Is very annoying as I have a yahoo mail account and several gmail acocutns and want to be able to have everything in one place.
Any ideas?
Will try K9 in meantime but wondered if anyone else has this issue and whether its an S3 issue or an ICS 4.0.x issue??
Thanks
The stock mail app is horrible. In some circumstances it'll draw white text on a white background, thus causing your problem of missing text in emails. It also has a bug where the compose text field prevents you from selecting text properly (text selection handles are bugged).
I've rooted and replaced it with the stock ICS mail app. Tried K9 but it kept crashing. ICS Mail app isn't great either, sometimes it takes an age to check for mails, also the folders are badly organised e.g. browsing to Drafts on my gmail account takes me to a different (in app) drafts folder, and I have to navigate to [google mail] -> drafts to find the correct gmail folder. I wish IMAP clients would have options to map in app folders to their correct IMAP locations.
I have K9 and so far not crashing but in comparison to the previous stock mail app I had on my HTC Desire HD they are both horrid.
Thats probably the only bit i miss as the s3 is superior in every way but the email handling is poop.
Ideally google would open out the gmail app to allow other imap accounts, e.g. yahoo and then i could have it all in one place and it look nice.
That or someone port the htc maill app over.
Hi everybody, i have S3 and also facing the same problem with my IMAP account. S3 make its own "send" items folder and not synchronize it with my IMAP one. Can I change the "Samsung send" folder to IMAP send folder?
Before upgrading to ICS, I would use the messaging app to access all the email. If I recall correctly, you would go to that, and then it would show all of your accounts and you could choose one of those. I see that is gone so is there something close to it? I guess I can click on the email app now and it brings me to whichever account I had open last, and I can just choose which account I want from there (that seems like the same number of steps as before). But one thing that was nice before was that the exchange email account had that blue icon so I could tell by looking at the notification bar if I had mail from that account or it it was from my personal accounts. Is there anyway to change that icon so they aren't all the same?
I was wondering if there was a way to not clear the notification count when the app is opened or the notifications bar is cleared. This is annoying as I like to always see how many unread messages I have even after I go into the app. I have looked for alternatives and the best I can find is maildroid (I have 2 gmail accounts and an exchange 2010 account). Maildroid has it's issues though and I prefer the HTC Sense Mail app.
Hello xda community,
Recently I have jumped back from iPhone to android and decided to buy mate 10 pro - I have been loving it so far. There is only one issue I can't fix no matter what:
Notification badges (count) doesn't appear on 2 email apps I use: on Inbox and on Outlook.
I have tried everything. I have set power options so that these applications have all permissions, I have checked the in-app settings to see if everything is enabled there, I have checked that notifications are enabled for all emails within the apps and I have long pressed the home screen, went under notification Badge app icons and have set Badge display mode to Unread message and gave that permission to all apps.
After doing all that, notification badges appear on messaging app, SMS app, Dialer - but not on my two emailing apps.
Is there any trick I'm missing here. I work with two email accounts alot, so if anyone could help me resolve, or tell me if the badges work for them would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Leafberry
The first suggestion I'd make is that you amalgamate all of your mail accounts into K-9 Mail and forget about the double-handling.
I can tell you that the badges work with K-9 Mail, though if there are more than 9 unread messages, the badge will be a single white dot in the centre of the badge background. Is this what you're experiencing with Inbox and Outlook, or are there simply no badges applied to the icons whatsoever?
I haven't tried either Outlook or Inbox on my Mate 10 Pro but I'm currently using this email app which I have been using it since I had my iPhone 5s and it works great. I'm running over 10 email accounts within the app and it's been great so far.
And regards to your problem, the badge works fine for it as now I have 31 of unread emails.
I can't post a link as I'm a new member but you can try to download the app Play Store. The app is in Beta stage:
