Mail Rules Aims to Add Structure to Your Inbox

Jeff Benjamin ∙ December 20, 2010

Since I'm a Gmail user, all of my email is already organized on Google's servers before hitting my iPhone. This is done by means of filters, which are essentially rules in Outlook-speak.

Rules have been noticeably absent from the iPhone's cache of email features, but that's probably because most people have setups like I do, meaning that their email is sorted and filtered prior to being downloaded to the iPhone.

For those of you that don't have this luxury, Mail Rules -- a jailbreak tweak for iOS 3.2 and up -- aims to fill in the gaps. But does the tweak's shortcomings rule it out?

Google Brings Push Notifications to the iPhone

The Google Mobile application for the iPhone now offers push notifications for Gmail and the Google Calendar. The app is free in the App Store and is said to offer "real" notifications that give you message type previews.

Previously iPhone users were required to use a 3rd party service to bring these types of notifications to their iPhones. Also included in the app is "search as you type" results.

How to Sync Your iPhone Notes with Your Gmail Account

Sébastien Page ∙ Updated March 27, 2018

You probably already know you can sync your Google emails, calendars and contacts with your iPhone using Google Sync. But do you know you can also sync your iPhone notes with your Gmail account?

The only requirement for being able to sync your notes with Gmail is that your iPhone be updated to iOS 4. When you set up your Gmail account on your iPhone, you will now have the option to sync your notes.

If you have several Gmail account set up on your iPhone, you will be able to sync your notes to specific accounts. In the top left corner of the Notes.app, a new button will appear letting you choose what account you want to sync with.

One downside to this is that it's a one-way sync, which means that you can only sync your notes from your iPhone to your Gmail account. You can't sync from Gmail notes to your iPhone.
