Gmail 120

NOUG-2.1-update1-105 Nexus One User’s Guide

Gmail is different

Gmail is web-based Your messages are stored on Google servers, but you read,

write, and organize messages by using the Gmail application on your phone or by

using a web browser on a computer. Because your mail is stored on Google servers,

you can search your entire message history, backed by the speed and power of Google

search.

Actions that you take in one place are reflected everywhere. For example, if you read a

message in Gmail on your phone, it’s marked as read in a web browser. And a message

that you send using a browser, or even a draft of a message, is visible in Gmail on the

phone.

Gmail is conversation-based Each message and all replies to it are grouped in

your Inbox as a single conversation. In other email applications, replies to messages

are spread across your Inbox, typically by date received, so a message and the replies

to it are separated by other messages. Gmail makes it easy to follow the thread of a

conversation.

Gmail is organized by labels, not by folders By tagging messages with

labels, you can organize your conversations in many different ways. In other email

applications, each message can live in only one folder. For example, with Gmail you

can label a conversation with your mother about your brother’s birthday present with

both “Mom” and “Dave.” Later, you can look for the message under either label. Using

folders, you’d have to store the message in the “Mom” folder or the “Dave” folder, not

both.

Gmail for the phone is optimized for mobile: for advanced tasks, use a

web browser

The best place to organize and learn about Gmail is the web. For

example, you can’t use the Gmail application on the phone to create the labels and

filters that you use to organize your messages, but you can label a message on the

phone. Gmail on the web offers complete information about the service, so it’s the

best place to learn about all of the features of Gmail.

Gmail is for Gmail Of course you can use Gmail to send email to any email

address, and anyone can send email to you at your Gmail address. But if you want to

read messages from another email service provider (using your AOL, Yahoo!, or other

email account), you use the Email application. See “Email” on page 179.
