Hi, has anyone found a good email notification widget? I just want it to display the number of unread emails on my homescreen. I'm using LauncherPro, so can't use the standard HTC one. My email accounts are not gmail.
Cheers

Try pure messenger, displays sms and emails in a widget and had built in notifications.
Hope this helps. If you need a link to it let me know and ill post one on twitter.
I'm currently running ZenEXP and K-9 Mail because it does push and Zenulator hasn't got push running yet on the stock client. K-9 is cool, I like it and it is fast but I have two issues:
1) I get notified every time a new email comes in and this bugs me. The stock Gmail push client will notify me once when a new email comes in and then quietly collect any new emails until I check them, then it starts over. This is great as it let's me sleep without hearing the "new mail" notification all night long. Has anyone who uses K-9 figured out how to make it work like the stock client and only notify once until I check?
2) Is there an "unread Mail" widget anywhere I can put on my main screen? I used to use one called "Gmail Unread Count" from the market but I can't find one for K-9
Thanks folks....
I've been using K-9 for a while and it has been working great, but since I upgraded to 2.2 it doesnt seem to notify about new mails.
I have of course checked the settings in K-9 and it should notify.
When I have K-9 open it receivs mails instantly and if I do not have it open when I get a mail it seems to download them anyway, cause all the new mails are already downloaded when I open it up.
So I think it's more about the notification rather than K-9 not getting the mail.
I have reinstalled it but still the same.
Any ideas?
Edit: Now it suddenly started to work. Dont know why or how but I'm happy.
Running tazzpatriot's new sense gingerbread Rom and am running into an odd issue with friendstream app.
The widget works fine. But I can't get the app itself to update. It appears to sync when I open it but never actually displays any status updates or anything. Has anyone else experienced this?

Guess what?
I found your post by doing a google search, so I have an unrooted HTC Evo Shift with the latest Sense 2.1 update that just came out a couple of days ago and I can't get any status from Facebook to show up in Friendstream either. The really crazy thing is it syncs the contacts and links them in the People app.
BUT, the really odd thing is that the official Facebook app is doing the same thing, wont show any status updates.
I have cleared data and cache on all three apps (Facebook, Friendstream, and Friendstream widget) with no luck seeing status in Friendstream or Facebook. I also took a shot at uninstalling the Facebook update, but that didn't work either. I even took a shot at removing the Friendstream app authorization on my Facebook account and readding it and that didn't even work.
I also have an iPad with the official iOS Facebook app and it doesn't show anything when I select the 'Status Updates' feed. Only when I select 'News Feed' or 'More Recent' as the feed in the iOS app does it show stuff.
The only thing I can think of is something must be wrong with my Facebook account since nothing seems to be working right as far as the 'Status Updates' feed.
same happens for me running Gin-Sen-Tazz i just sync my contacts with facebook for htc sense and use the facebook for android app for everything else (status updates, chat, messages etc..)
same problem for me on a Thunderbolt and im on bamf 2.1. its very frustrating since I just linked all my contacts to FB for HTC Sense and the FriendStream widget works but once you go into the app, no updates!!!
Works fine now on eris using the newest gin-sen-tazz.
Does anyone use K9 Mail? I have problems getting mail notifications to work. I have set no restrictions for battery and gave full permission. It worked initially but not consistently. Now I only get notifications if I open the app. I am using the China MIUI 9.5. Will changing the ROM to the Global version solve this problem?
