I'm trying to get an rss feed out of gmail with either purerss or RSSreader which are both free on the market. I'm trying to read a label on my gmail acct so I can get e-mail alerts for things I filter. Anyone have any suggestions on how to make this work or a better way of doing it?
I sent this e-mail to the people at PureRss
Hi Matthew,
Clicking on the link you supplied leads to a login page rather than an XML feed, so presumably this is the problem. PureRSS does support HTTP Digest Authentication, so if Google accepts this form of login on the feed then you may be able to get it to work that way.
Thanks,
Chris

Are you trying to use your google reader or actual email? If your trying to use google reader I use Greed, its made just for google reader. There is a paid version now not sure if the free one is still on the market though.

Trying to read gmail. for new messages in a label when they are set to skip the inbox, I want notifications for these so I was trying to use an rss reader to do it.
You can go to settings - Labels and there you can select which labels should be auto-synced

Yes they are auto synced but there is no notifications for e-mails that skip the inbox. I have to open gmail app and go to view labels to see if I have new messages under these labels.
Suggestion 1: If you can find out how to sync only that label using IMAP, then create a standard email account connection using that info.
Suggestion 2: Whatever filter you have set up, have it also forward to a new email address through gmail, and then add that inbox to the email client. [email protected]
Suggestion 3: Something that has been covered: http://lifehacker.com/software/gmail-tips/get-rss-feeds-from-your-gmail-labels-157701.php and then just finding an app that supports the authenticated feed, which a run through the app market leaves me empty on solutions for that.
Temp: You can also add a shortcut to the desktop that links directly to a label.

Currently I have the Gmail java app installed to check my standard @gmail.com address.
I also have about 5 different domains with e-mail address I use through the Google Apps service.
What is the most effective way to manage these e-mails?
I like the fact that the Java app lets you keep the e-mails in conversation format like traditional gmail. The problem is I can not figure out how to use it for my domains I use through the Google Apps service. Is this possible?
Also using the Java app means I can not have my phone automatically check my e-mail throughout the day.
Please anyone who uses these services please let me know if outlook, google java app or another program is the best way to manage multiple e-mail accounts run through these particular systems.
Thanks a bunch

I would just setup the Gmail accts in IMAP mode...
Hi,
I've been through the same, there's a different java app for Mail by Google (Google apps) than for Google Mail. Apparently one shows with a blue M where the standard has a red one!
On your mobile device, point your browser to http://m.google.com/a and you'll get the option to download the appropriate client.
Details here (listed for Blackberry but ignore the word 'Blackberry' and insert Windows Mobile instead - works a treat!)

Hello folks,
I just installed the Gmail Java app. It works fine but I have problem reading the messages !!
The diamond as a excellent VGA screen but the gmail app displays the message with no zoom, as if it was a QVGA screen (works great on a HTC Cruise).
Does anybody know how to increase the text siez of the gmail app ?
Thanks in advance.
See the attachef picture and image reading it on a 2.8" screen...
why java app for gmail?
if you want, you can configure an account email on diamond for gmail, and in settings of the gmail prefs on the web, you can configure the pop account for receive the mail in your mail client.
works fine, i just use this configuration, also for 4 different account.

With the Java client you can use all the search functionality of Gmail. No offline client would give you this option, except you download all your mail (up to 7GB currently) to your device.
That's what makes Gmail different from all other mail providers. All IMAP or POP access turns Gmail into an account like any other. The difference is in the search all mail functionality. You'll never understand this until you used it.

Thank you for the tip : I used it, but it's not fast as the java app... and the search functionality is awesome...
Furthermore, gmail handles my 6 personal mail accounts : I use the label / archive functionality.
But I tested the IMAP WM6 client : he does not retrieve correctly all the subfolders of gmail... gmail or WM6 issue ?? I don't have issues with outlook 2003 ou entourage in IMAP config...
gmail IMAP with the wm6 client is useful if you use it in "push" mode (always on).
I guess if google can't provide a client that's readable in VGA you will have to use your web browser.
yep... I think I'm going to stick to that...
I'll send a feedback to google on this issue...
Cheers.
Problem solved !
Hello, i finally managed to find my answer !
I installed the US version version on gmail java 1.5 !
it has an option to enlarge the text.
See the pict.
I've been using the gmail java client with the "large font" switch on for quite some time. But the fonts are still too small, especially when you are walking.
I'm using JBed, what jvm are you using?
Hi!
I'm using the HTC embedded java machine (Esmertec Jbed). My ROM is a genuine HTC rom.
But you're right, even with "Large Font" option, the text is very small...
Cheers.
Search here for Esmertec Jbed new version , so u can define the font size in the registry
I've been using java gmail for a while, but I just switched to real onlie gmail, which happens to be better and faster, in my opinion.

I don't think google apps supports exchange? I could be wrong. You'd probably want to just add this as a google account, where in 2.2 multiple google accounts are possible. I think you're doing it wrong.
but u can use the m.google.com for google sync
i even had a setting to enable it on my domain options
and i also used that m.google.com server and recieved emails right away using a normal gmail account to test it out and worked but cant seem to get it to work with google apps domain cuz i dont know what domain/ username i am supposed to put in

You're still doing it wrong....
Exchange is for MS Exchange servers.
What you should do go into accounts and sync, add another google account, type in [email protected] and your password. Should work
how was ot able to work with my regualr gmail account?
aad4321 said:
I would just use the multiple google apps accounts that 2.1 and 2.2 allow. Worst case it may work as exchange. Google apps also does work with exchange but limited. This is a fact because Windows mobile devices are configured with google apps using active sync.

Correct me if I'm wrong...
Windows Mobile phones use POP/IMAP to sync with any other type of email address other than an Exchange account, because when using an Exchange account you'll need to use the Active Sync protocol.
Google Apps and Exchange are services, not clients or protocols. I don't see how you would be able to use Google Apps with Exchange unless you're doing a migration or have GPO's set on the network to set up Google Apps accounts in Outlook.

Probably through either IMAP or its own proprietary communication protocol. Gmail doesn't support ActiveSync
Gmail does in fact support Exchange ActiveSync protocol, and that is exactly how Windows Mobile devices sync most effectively with Gmail, regular or apps version. They made an announcement last year when the ActiveSync Protocol was enabled.
The config settings should be m.google.com for server, and full email address for username. I haven't tried it, because of the following reason:
The most effective way to get at your gmail from an Android phone is with the Gmail app. It does push just like ActiveSync, and supports more of the features of Gmail, like stars, threaded conversations, labels, etc.
Just tried it with my google apps account, works fine in the email app.
On the first screen, enter your email address and password, then hit manual setup
On the second screen, select Exchange Activesync
On the third screen, enter your email address in the username box (remove the leading "\" as well). Leave the password as entered, and replace the server with m.google.com. Select both checkboxes, click Next
Fourth screen, select your sync options (use Automatic(push)) and other settings as you like
Finally, give the account a name, and enter your display name on outgoing messages, and click Done.
Works great.

Just wanted to put in my pennies. I set up Google Apps accounts as part of my business, and Activesync is the ONLY way you should sync your email on Windows Mobile. It also works for standard Gmail accounts, and it will sync your Contacts and Calendar too. Just don't select Tasks in the sync options or the sync will fail.
Windows Mobile isn't just an Enterprise Solution anymore, thanks to Google.
Well, I haven't seen anyone successfully replace the NC contacts app with the generic Android one, but I found something almost as good ... if you're willing to pay.
If you download Touchdown for Exchange from the market (demo version, have to pay to use it for more than 30 days), you can set up your gmail address as an exchange account (login is the full e-mail address, server is m.google.com). It'll sync contacts w/the Exchange server ... and by default, sync those with your "phone's' contact list.
I've tried it, and confirmed autocomplete for contacts now works in gmail.
Some caveats:
* While Touchdown can handle more than one exchange account, it does so with "profiles." You switch between them -- and when you're in one profile, you'll only have access to the contacts from that one. I've got my phone set up with both my personal gmail and my office's google apps account ... so now I'm using Soocial to sync their contacts (non-ideal), and having touchdown just bring down the office stuff.
* You'll want to tweak your e-mail settings to minimize how much data you're having the device get. No need to pull down your inbox again if gmail already is. I have it set not to get message bodies, to sync the minimum amount of days, etc.
* It's a paid app, so you'll have to pony up the cash. And although I'd previously purchased a license key via the market on my phone, I'm not seeing the option for the license key (protected app unsupported by the current market hack?) showing up in the market for my NC. You can also enter a license key, but I'll be trying copying over my valid key from my phone and seeing what happens ...
Nice:
* It handles the calendar well as well ... so no need to bring in the Calendar.apk or CorpCalendar.apk if you don't want to.
Soocial non-ideal
Hi Wordsmith,
Just a quick question why you find Soocial to be non-ideal? I'm part of the Soocial team and we try to listen as much as we can to our users or potential users. Sounds like you are looking for a one stop place to have your address book synced. In what area do you find Soocial lacking now for it to be non-ideal.
Thanks for trying and using Soocial. ;-)

I juist wasn't really looking to have these address books synced in the first place, but I AM looking to access both from my NC, as I do from my Android phone. Since I didn't have a great solution to that, I'm using your product to include all my contacts in both of my address books.
I've used touchdown for about a year now and it's never let me down. Best exchange program hands down. Thanks for the tip to use it to sync Google contacts!
FYI: you can sync only contacts if you choose and the server is m.google.com w/ssl in case anyone needs it.
Hi all, I'm self employed and receive most of my work via email with the details in a pdf or doc file.
If at home I just transfer the details to calendar on my PC which syncs with my google calendar and then onto my note calendar. From the note calendar I can tap the location field and navigate to the customer with google maps and, if necessary, tap the contact number to call the customer easily while on route.
The problem is this requires manually typing the data from the document into the calendar. Easy on my PC but a pain in the butt if I'm on the road at the time.
Does anyone know of a way to automate this so I can do it easily from my note?
In summary I want to be able to get the job details into the calendar (stock at moment but not set in concrete), specifically the address into the location field and contact name and number into the description field.
Would it work if I got them to send out as a calendar invitation, I assume but don't know for sure, that they use outlook.
Sorry for the long drawn out question, I hope it makes sense. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Love using the note for my jobs but need to be able to streamline it's use when jobs come in on the road. At the moment I have to open the email, download and open the attachment, write down the details and either enter them into a diary event or type them directly into phone/navigation as appropriate. Not exactly high tech

imo the simplest solution would be if customers would send you invitations from google calendar - when accepted would automatically get into your note calendar,
Thanks p107r0,
I think it will also work if they create a diary event on their system and invit me as an atendee. In theory I then get an email invite which, if I accept it will populate my calendar.
Just messing with it myself and seems to work. I'll have to get my companies to try it out if I can convince them.
genious question, brilliant idea for an app, someone should make it

What if you did some sort of mashup where your clients go to a google hosted google apps page with a google spreadsheet that is acting as a form,
in this they can type the requirements.... and perhaps can select / type who they are (or perhaps type their UID which does a lookup to prevent data protection act) that has an action of add to calendar + email alert for you with the attached PDF that they select in the form?
I might have a look in to this myself as it seems kinda fun!
Edit: Found this example, that is kinda close

Second edit
Perhaps http://www.jotform.com/ can help.
Thanks fooby, at moment I'm working on getting them to set up a calendar event and inviting me as an attendee as I think that will work with a few tweaks.
Trouble is getting them to play with me
