Reading your messages
When viewing a list of conversations in your Inbox or in any list of labeled conversations, you open a conversation to read its messages.
Gmail “pushes” new messages to your phone automatically: you don’t need to refresh your Inbox manually (but see “Synchronizing your conversations by label” on
page 156).When you receive a new message, you also receive a notification in the Status bar, unless you’ve turned off Gmail notifications using Gmail settings, where you can also set whether Email notifications vibrate the phone and other settings (see “Changing Gmail settings” on page 163). If you’re using Priority Inbox as your default inbox, you only receive notifications for important messages (see “Working with Priority Inbox” on page 149). When you touch a Gmail notification, it opens the Inbox that contains the new message or, if you have new mail in more than one account, it opens the Accounts screen.
Read a message
STouch a conversation that contains the message you want to read.A conversation opens to the first new (unread) message, or to the first starred message, if you’ve previously starred a message in the conversation. See “Starring a message” on page 153.
