Gmail App Default to "All Mail" not "Inbox"

[laurenkitsune]

Hey, guys!

I just got an EVO, and I'm loving everything except this one thing.

I would like my gmail app to default to "all mail," instead of simply "inbox."

Why? I have some messages skip my gmail inbox (like facebook notifications or weekly coupons), so I have set labels to fix that! Keeps a clean inbox. BUT I want to still be notified of Facebook emails on my phone without having to specifically look for them.

Say someone tags me in an unflattering picture, and I'm away from my laptop? I'd like to know right away!

I have different needs for my phone and my laptop Does anyone else have these problems? Or...solutions?

Thanks!

Oh, I also did a search for this: http://androidforums.com/sprint-htc-hero/27733-gmail-widget-not-just-inbox.html and it didn't cover it. But it did get me a few cool apps!

Just for anyone else who had this problem...(I also found others here: Per Label Email Notifications for Gmail Android - Google Mobile Help)

I was able to work around it by downloading the app "Gmail Label Notifier." Worth the $1.50 download, though, (although not for something that I think should have been a feature with gmail anyway!)
