Unread email count like iphone

[pradeepd]

I'm an iPhone convert and I'm just loving my android experience. I have an HTC inspire 4g. The question I have is, I use the native email app and have setup my exchange account. When an email arrives it shows me the count, but after I open the application, the unread count clears and it's kind of annoying as I really can't track how many are still left. The messages are still unopened, shoudn't the count still remain?

Is there way to achieve this?

I was curious about this as well. It doesn't bother me enough to do anything about it, but I am still curious to see if there is a way to do this, preferably without rooting the phone.

Once you go into the email app and you can see the list of your messages, you'll see a blue number in the upper right hand corner. That is the number of unread messages.

Thanks for your response. But a notification like iPhone would be great. Sometimes we tend to miss out emails due to this. A bad design from google

Download "sms unread count" from the market place. You can configure the widget to your gmail and it will give you the number of emails like the iPhone. I have 2 gmail accounts setup and also use it for my text messages. It works great. Let me know if you have any questions.

Actually, what is a bad design is on an iPhone, you can't tell which account has a new email. You to to check each account. To me, that sucks worse...

I agree. I only want to know which accounts have emails since last I checked. I always have unread emails in the account which will make the count confusing.

With the unread sms count app you setup a widget for each email account, so you will know how many unread emails you have for each account that has a widget setup. I am pretty sure the number stays until you actually read the email. The widget combined with the notification bar should do a pretty good job at notifying you of new emails that have come in.
