CHAPTER 9: Email on Your DROID

Google Task List
Another feature you may notice missing from the Gmail app is a task list. It’s a very
handy to-do list tool. It’s not included in the Gmail app. However, you can still use the
task list. Simply navigate your web browser to http://mail.google.com/tasks.
You can also make a shortcut for your Home screen.
1. Create a bookmark of this address by pressing the star in your browser bar.
2. Go to your Home screen and long press.
3. Select Shortcut.
4. Select Bookmark, and then find the task list.
Buzz
Google Buzz is a social networking component of Gmail. We’ll talk about social
networking tools in more detail in Chapter 20, “Social Media and Skype.” Buzz isn’t
supported in the Gmail app on Android, but you can download a widget from Google
that allows you to post updates, your location, and photos from your phone.
Multiple Gmail Accounts
You can set up multiple Gmail accounts on
your DROID and manage them all from the
Gmail app.
The figure on the right shows multiple
Gmail accounts. Unread messages are
shown to the right of each account. If you
click an account, you’ll see only the inbox
of that account. You can always get back
to the view shown to the right by clicking
the menu button and selecting Accounts.
To add another Gmail account to your DROID, follow the same steps you’d use to add
any other type of email account, as shown in Figure 9–5.
