Labels
Another way you can cut down on your inbox
clutter is to sync only certain Gmail labels.
Choose
Labels
in from the
Settings
menu of the
account you want to change, and you’ll see the
Synchronization
menu as shown on the right.
You can choose how far back you want to sync
messages in your inbox and choose which labels
to sync on a case-by-case basis. You could put
an automatic label on some of your bacn
newsletters, and then choose not to sync them to
your phone, or you could choose to sync work-
related emails only on weekdays.
Not syncing labels doesn’t mean you can’t still
find the information, just like archiving a message
doesn’t mean it is inaccessible. Searching your
inbox will still retrieve old messages. It just saves
some phone memory and syncing time for things
you don’t need instantly available every time you
launch the
Gmail app.
Confirm Delete
If you check this item, you’ll get an extra dialog every time you try to delete a message.
If you’re pretty sure with your fingers, leave it unchecked. If you’re nervous that you’ll
have a butter finger moment and accidentally delete an important email, leave it
checked.
Talk and Other Missing Gmail Features
Gmail on the Web has a chat window with Google Talk integration. Rather than
accessing Chat through the Android Gmail app, you’ll use the separate Google
Talk
app
on your phone. We cover Google Talk in Chapter 10: "SMS, MMS, and Instant
Messaging.
