ICS how to mark emails as read? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I can't seem to figure out how to mark emails as read in the email or Gmail app. Anyone know if there's a quick way to do it beside reading them one by one?

What is the blue number on People widget?

This is my first HTC phone so excuse my ignorance. I have a page size people widget on my phone I use as speed dial. It's an HTC widget filled with pictures of my favorite contacts and I can quickly call or text someone. But at times a blue number appears on one of the pictures/contacts. I don't know what it means or how I can access any information from it. Any idea?
Facebook updates.

The blue number represents a missed call, txt, or an update from a social network.

Hmmmm, thanks for the responses but it doesn't make sense. My wife's picture has a number 7 by it. She had not texted me, has no missed calls, and does not have a facebook account. I do not sync with facebook anyways. How do I clear it or access it? Any idea?

I assume you have tried rebooting?

It also includes calendar events. I had a contact with a birthday coming up, and it showed a "1" by their name. I do not have Facebook linked to my contacts.
So I figured it out. It appears that anything related to that person is connected to that number. In my wife's case, there were emails from her that I had erased but not opened. Somehow they still show up. As soon as I opened one, the number reduced by one. Silly if you asked me. You can access it by pressing the number and then on the lower edge of the opened menu you can change tabs to see what is new. Whole lotta blah.... Gimme aosp any day over this sense crap.

Why do email reply automatically get saved as contacts

How do I stop this from happening. Every time I reply from my gmail app who ever I reply to automatically gets saved as a contact.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Google does it. They have always done this with g mail. And your phone syncs contacts with google. I wish I knew how to make it stop. I'll dig.
Edit: dug. At google.com go to gmail and sign in. press cog next to your name and scroll down to "create contacts for auto-complete" and select I'll add contacts myself and scroll to bottom and save changes.
Thanks that worked.

Facebook Notifications question. Please help?

Does anybody know how to properly setup facebook notifications under settings in Facebook? I used to get the Facebook symbol in my notifications bar. The "F". Now when someone comments on my post or wall it sends me an email instead. I know you can set it up to send it like an email, but prefer it like it used to. It would put the Facebook symbol "F" in the notifications bar. How do I set this up again. If someone can take a screen shot of there setup I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Problem with email lockscreen notifications

I am using the stock email application and have been getting problems with email notification numbers being wrong on the lockscreen. I have 2 email accounts set up and the lockscreen maybe be saying that I have for instance 5 unread emails but actually I have none.
Anyone else having this and know how to get over it? How does the lockscreen get its information? It can't be from the email app itself as the 2 don't tally.

It gets the numbers from the email service, the same the app uses. Likely a bug on Sony side here, report it on their forums.
Seems odd as the app will be saying '0' unread mail, if I check my yahoo acount via the computer it will say '0' however the lockscreen notification might say 10 or whatever. Had this on gingerbread and now on ics. How is it that nobody else has noticed or raised this? Seems the only option is to switch off that notification so it doesn't keep telling me I have something I dont.

YES!!!
I also have this problem!
From what I can work out, it seems to be something to do with when you download your emails to your pc.
for me, the unread count worked ok (from fresh firmware flash) UNTIL i went on my pc and used outlook on there to see my emails, after this point, the phones email count went haywire. It seems that the phone is not taking into account that previous emails have now gone from the server, and into your pc's email program. so the 'unread' count keeps accumulating.
However, if i exclusively use the email app in the phone, the unread count remains correct (as i did this for a while while i had no internet at home)
It may be the phone, it may be outlooks settings, it may be my email provider? i don't know, it is bloody annoying though!
I get my emails through my own domain name which is hosted by one.com, and its set up as an imap account, i'm quite sure it does the same when set up as a pop account...
Fixed for me: Notifications has a little bug, if you have unread email in the delete box then you will have notification as new or unread email. goto delete box either empty them or mark all read

[Q] how can I paste something I copied with the s pen into Gmail?

I want to be able to copy something on my screen using the S Penn, you know like when you draw a circle around something and it copies to your clipboard. And then I want to paste it into my message my gmail app . This possible? Sorry for the poor grammar the voice to text is not working too well right now.

Just add an attachment to your email it should be saved under your screenshots

Haven't really tried it much yet but I press the s-pen button and hold it, circle the object and it copy's to clipboard in gallery under screenshots. I can find it in the gallery and when long pressing the image I can choose the messaging, gmail etc. icon and send it in text, or while in text I can tap the paperclip and find it in gallery.
Hope that makes sense and I didn't read your question wrong.
Happy Holidays
That helps, thanks for that. In gmail on the PC you can just do ctrl v while you are typing your message and it will show the image in the message Instead of down below as an attachment. Any way to do that? If not, no big deal.
Happy holidays to you too

cool!
Haven't had mine hooked up yet to the PC since mine is a dinosaur (PC that is!)
I doubt the N2 will allow you to do the same as on your PC, but if it can I'm sure someone will chime in. Still should show though as the actual pic instead of an attachment that you have to open on the N2
Peace!!
