Display of emails (Gmail) in default iOS 7 app

Being new to apple this might be a trivial question. I managed to setup my gmail account on my iPad. Emails, contacts and calendar sync fine. But the slide-out left menu which contains an overview of all emails shows all items in bold. Even if I read them. Consequently it's impossible to distinguish between new unread and old read emails. Can this be configured? If so where and how?
I also noticed I don't get notified of new emails. The initial setup configured gmail to fetch manually. I changed it to fetch every x minutes. That should have done it right? Gmail apparently doesn't support push?!

Just setup gmail on my iPad Air (7.0.4)..
What I see is that unread emails have a large blue dot on the left side of the email Subject.
After reading an email the large blue dot is no longer displayed..
I don't know about Push.. I prefer Fetch Manually..

How do I display the entire image by default in Photos app instead of filling the entire screen?

A lot of the images that I have stored on my phone are taken with another camera. Whenever I view them in the photo app they don't show the full image until I pinch them. Is there a setting that shows the entire image by default? Don't want to be pinching every photo and when other people view my images they often don't realise that there is actually more to see.

Yes, this is terrible. I am not showcasing the otherwise fine screen but my carefully framed photos. How arrogant from Apple to violently zoom to my pics.
This needs to be addressed ASAP! Everyone please give feedback http://www.apple.com/feedback/

There are 2 settings to check for email programs, one is the Windows default email program which you probably already have set to Outlook. The other is a Firefox setting that determines how it handles mailto links. The second one may be set to Gmail. For details see [[Changing the e-mail program used by Firefox]]

Hope you enjoy it!

I have also switched to outlook as a conduit for my gmail. Push works great to my IOS devices and there is also the great benefit of very easy integration with Outlook 2013 on my windows PC. The only small glitch i have found is when an email is forwarded from gmail into the outlook inbox, if I reply-all, it adds my own gmail address to the reply, which then is auto-forwarded back to the outlook inbox when I send it. Pretty sure this is because I'm sending from the outlook account, but the gmail address was the original recipient. Minor hassle but seems worth it given all the other benefits. Any ideas on a solution?
I ran the outlook tool to import all my historical email from gmail into my outlook.com account. It worked quite well, but one question. In addition to recreating folders that lined up with my gmail labels, it also created an outlook "category" with the same name as my gmail address. And it populated that category (at least I think so) with every email from my gmail account. I think this may essentially be the all-mail from gmail, but does anyone know what's going on with this? I'm not at all familiar with outlook categories. I actually had two gmail accounts, imported them both, and it created two categories, one for each gmail address. If I just delete those categories, will it affect the way my emails appear and the folders that were created? The categories only appear when I'm on line at the outlook.com site. No sign of them in the iOS devices or when using Outlook 2013.
Also, per the original instructions above, what does step 4 do?
"4. click right top gear – More mail settings – Writing email – Reply-to address – Select your Gmail"

Can I use gmail as default client for sharing photos from camera roll or links from safari?

I use the Gmail app for my Gmail stuff (my normal default email address). I use yahoo with apples mail app. When I try to send a link from safari or share a photo I have taken from my camera roll, it sends using my yahoo email. I would prefer Gmail as my yahoo email is only around for fantasy sports.
Is there any way to do this?
I have tried setting up Gmail using apples setup in an attempt to make a gmail send only type of account, however it tells me an account is already set up, maybe due to my using of googles calendar and googles contacts? Can't seem to figure out how to properly do this. Maybe remove my calender and contacts stuff completely and try to re-setup the mail account (since I am using the gmail app, I wouldn't think it would hook into the native ios mail one)?
Any ideas?

Rock- I have google contacts set up as a CardDav account. Apparently I must have had google calendar set up using the standard ios gmail account setup for mail, while just turning the mail function to "off" in the settings. This was why I could not add a gmail account...I already had done this lol.
I tried a couple of things and still couldn't figure it out. I can't add an ics subscribed calendar for some reason as it isn't enable to authenticate. Nor can I set up a simple CalDav calendar, despite my settings being correct, it wasn't able to successfully authenticate either. Or maybe it was "verify" and not "authenicate"...at any rate I coudln't do it.
Maybe I am explaining what I want to do incorrectly. I'll try again, though it is probably as clear as mud lol.
I want my google contacts and my calendar. If iOS handles this for me I am totally ok with that. I want my Gmail app, which handles the bulk, or essentially all of my mail for me, labels etc, and I use it all the time...which of course I am ok with as well.
I want the native iOS mail app to handle my yahoo account, which sees little to no email transaction from me. It does this well right now, as its pretty much only a seasonal account....meaning when it is fantasy football season, it comes into play.
I want the native iOS mail app to handle any photos or links I send from the phone to give my gmail account address in the "From" part of the header....even if it sends it from yahoo's servers. Preferably I would like it to come from gmails servers but I know I can't have my cake and eat it too.
The reason for all this is if I send someone a photo I want them to respond to my gmail not my yahoo account. I tried setting up the gmail account using the native iOS gmail account setup, but what happens is that I end up with my incoming gmail in two spots on the phone, which I don't want.
If I could turn off incoming gmail using the native iOS account setup, this would solve the issues. I would then be able to designate the native Gmail account as primary (for use as a send only account), and still keep the yahoo inbox going as well.
Even if I went to extremes and paid money so I could forward my yahoo mail to my gmail account, thereby allowing my to remove yahoo completely from the phone, I would just be left with no option to send emails as there would be no default account available (as my gmail is handled by the app, not the phone).

How to Make Gmail the default mailto: link

I need help.
I would like to make gmail my default mailto provider in Safari. Gmail Notifier used to take care of this, but since Google removed that program, I haven't figured out a way to do it.
Right now, Safari will start the Mail app when I want click a mailto: link. I don't want to use the Mail app. I'd like to keep everything web-based.
I don't have any desire to switch to another browser, but if there is no option, I'd have no choice.
Does anyone know of an app or safari extention that will accomplish this?
Thanks

No, this will only allow me to choose a platform based email reader. (mail, outlook, etc)
What I would like to happen is when I click an email link, it uses gmail's web based email system.
This is easy to do with firefox and chrome, and used to be easy to do with Safari using Google Notifier, but that program has been discontinued.
I ready where there used to be a safari extention that would accomplish this, but I can't find it anymore either.
I don't want to stop using Safari, but if I can't send an email simply by clicking the link, I will have to.

How to display your email and a message to finder on the lock screen of an iPhone?

Hi,
I loose things, including phones and keys...
To prevent a worst case scenario: How to display your email and a message to finder on the lock screen of an iPhone? (6 plus, current iOS)
That is, I assume most people finding an iPhone would want to try to contact me to give it back to me, if they know how: how can leave my contact information in the phone? This needs to be on the lock screen, naturally, as this is the only view the finder can see. It would be useful to be able to add a message of sorts a la "if found please call my wife ### or email me ###".
How can this be done other than editing the JPG of the wallpaper, or sticking a business card to the back of the phone (these are the only solutions I came up with, there must be something better).
Cheers!

Greetings _daniel_,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It seems like you'd like to display a message on your iPhone 6 Plus in the event it is lost. Good news--you can do this with the Find my iPhone feature of iCloud.
Check out these links for more information:
iCloud: Set up iCloud
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
If you can’t find your device, use Lost Mode right away to lock it with a passcode, display a custom message on the screen, and keep track of its location.
Cheers,
Jeremy

Display full address in Safari in iOS 7

Does anybody know if it's possible to have Safari display the full address in the address bar with iOS 7? I it matters, I'm running iOS 7 on my 3rd gen iPad. I know I can click on the address to have it display the he full oath, but I'd like it to always display the full path by default. Any ideas?
Thanks.

A lot of people have viewed this post, and some others have reported having the same question, but no one has replied. I the an Apple rep monitoring the forum that might be able to help get an answer? Thanks.

Set gmail as default O S X 10.10.1

Mail is not working properly in OSX10.10.1. I would like to revert to gmail as the default email viewer. I recently got a new hard drive which doesn't have chrome.
Is this the problem? If so can I use chrome for mail and safari for the web?

I have a similar problem in OS 10.10.2. When I want to send email from a link, Apple Mail automatically opens. I want to compose mail in gmail
I'm especially concerned about this because my sent mail keeps disappearing and I've read this has to do with Apple Mail. I'm hoping that by making gmail the default for composing messages, I'll stop losing sent mail.
Thanks for any help.

Gmail archiving in iOS doesn't work as expected

Hello,
In the IOS Mail app I can use archive to move my mails to an archiving folder so I can review them afterwards. This works for Outlook.com or exchange accounts but not for Gmail.
In mail advanced options I can set an archive mailbox, for example "Archive" instead of "All Mail".
But then whenever I archive an email it disappears from my inbox but it's not moved to the archive folder I selected ("Archive").
If I check the Gmail website I can see the "inbox label" is removed for that mail but the "[imap]\archive" label isn't added, forcing me to go to the All Mail folder to recover the mail. I understand that's the way archiving works in the Gmail website but having an option to choose an archiving folder in Mail and then not using it gets confusing.
Archiving in OSX Mail works as expected (archive button moves mail to a mailbox called [imap]\Archive).
Also, in iOS, when browsing mailboxes from the settings app the Archive icon is next to the archive mailbox but in the Mail app it's next to the "All Mail" mailbox. That seems like an inconsistent behavior to me.

When you archive email in Gmail, it gets moved out of the In Box. Gmail uses "All Mail" to archive mail, not a folder called "Archive". My experience is that the Mail app on iOS devices exactly mirrors the folder structure of my Gmail account. My interpretation of that setting was that you chose to move the mail to deleted or to whatever folder the mail service uses to archive its mail. And, "All Mail" is that folder for Gmail. I would find it terribly disconcerting if the Mail app on my phone created a folder that didn't exist in my Gmail account.
I haven't used the Mail application on my Mac in years because I hate it so I can't comment on that.

Using Gmail Aliases with iOS 8 Mail App

I'm wondering if there is any way to use gmail aliases with the default mail app. I've already tried the methods listed on these two sites:
http://www.nathanpjones.com/wp/2014/01/using-gmail-aliases-in-ios-7/
http://tbb.co/sending-from-a-gmail-alias-on-ios-8/
I can already send from a few different aliases with the default mail app on Mac. I have two step authentication setup on on my gmail account so I've these methods with both my normal password and app specific passwords generated by Google. Is there something that I'm missing?

Seems to work properly for me. Are we looking at the same place? to instruct it to Delete instead of Archive:
In Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > (select account) > Account (select your e-mail address) > Advanced.
Mailbox Behavior for Deleted Mailbox: Trash.
then
Move Discarded Messages Into: Deleted Mailbox.
It wasn't this way by default. Move Discarded was Archive, and it gave the results you described. Changing that to Deleted works for me.
I set the Swipe left-to-right to Archive. So now one swipe will Archive, the other will Delete.
oooh... p.s.... this seems to work as well:

How can I email from my default email without having to switch from my icloud account.

I have an iphone 4s and I have made my default email a gmail account. However, whenever I go to send an email from my phone, it defaults to my icloud account. I can switch it manually but why should I have to switch manually to a non default email account every time I want to send an email? Is there a way to send emails with my gmail account being the default address being sent from instead of my icloud email? I have already made gmail my default email and my iphone mail app has no problem uploading inbox emails.

IMAP is the mail protocol that allows you to delete a message one place and have it delete everywhere else. iCloud uses IMAP, so it should be working. If the messages never delete, then something may be incorrect in the settings. The easiest thing to do with iCloud is to logout of the account on every device, and then login again. (Another common problem with iCloud email is people often have two Apple IDs, and thus may have two iCloud email accounts. If you get confused about which one you're using, you may think you've deleted email when you actually haven't.)
If the iCloud messages do ultimately delete across all devices, then it could be that some devices aren't set to "Push" but are instead set to "Fetch" the newest info from the server. Fetch can be set to as long as an hour between check-ins.
The same holds true for Windstream if she's using an IMAP account there, too. If it's a POP account, then deleting a message one place will never delete it anywhere else—that's the way POP works.

Outlook 2011 - configure outlook to display multiple email accounts.

I am having difficulty displaying multiple email accounts with their own default folders. I have tried multiple times and with no sucess. My email uses the POP settings. I have not had this issue with windows based programs. I had read somewhere that I may have to apply rule but I have seen some tutorials that apprear to work but my options that are available do not match the tutorials.

Your post is a bit open ended....
First thing - You need to decide if you want to use virtual domains or not.
If
     [email protected]
     [email protected]
     [email protected]
all should be separate mailboxes, then you need virtual domains.
If those 3 addresses can all go to the same mailbox, then you don't.
If you don't need virtual domains, then don't use them... things are simpler without that feature.
If thats the case, in the domain name field in Mail service, enter your primary domain.
You'll then need to enter your other domains via command line.
First, check your mail domain setting with:
sudo serveradmin settings mail:postfix:mydomain
Here is how you enter more than one domain:
- Quit the Server app
- Issue this with your domains between the quotes
sudo serveradmin settings mail:postfix:mydomain = "domain1.com, domain2.com"
- Restart postfix to activate your change
sudo postfix reload
If you open the Server app, you will notice both domains are now listed.

Displaying report output in email body is not available as a standard feature. Also doing a custom development would be very cumbersome .
