Like the Gmail app?
Menu - Add to Home - Shortcut - Program - Gmail?

Once you are in that, just press:
Menu - View Labels

Maybe I don't know what you meant...

 

I literally just found that... about an hour ago, because an email that I thought I fwd'd to my work account, still hasn't come through, but I deleted it after the fwd...

Can't find it anywhere, and can't see gmail on wk. comp.

I'm stuck... It's f'in lost in space now.

 

Thank you for this information!

 

On a related note, is there an actual Gmail widget? One that shows the unread mail count? Not the HTC mail widget, I know that one does it.

 

There should be. THat is what we were talking about...lol.

Add> Shortcut> scroll down your list... "Gmail" is all it says, I think normally it shows up as a red and white envelope.

Should be in your list of "All Programs" also...

 

No, that is just a shortcut to Gmail. I'm talking about an actual Gmail "widget" that will display the unread email count on the main screen. I tried both the "Gmail" and "Inbox" shortcuts and they are just that, static icons, they don't display anything like a true widget does. The HTC widget will but I don't like using that program because it is not 'push'. Am I missing something?

 

I use this its just a counter but shows you how many email and such you have in your gmail...

install it, then go to add new widget and you will find it has plenty of different looks and works like a charm, i use it with this app which does the same but for your SMS's
