Galaxy y How to send e-mail?

horace_2

Perhaps my initial post was unclear.

I rather thought that I could send an e mail directly from the icon
g mail. I cannot.

Fiddling around I can open my g mail account via Opera and send from there.

What is perplexing is that this is rather convoluted way send a message. I was expecting the g mail app (using the desk top icon) to simply have a compose/send button.

Thanks for all replies.

Thanks DUTR,

I have followed your instructions and this is what happens to on my phone....

1) tap GMAIL icon on desktop

2) screen appears, blue ribbon to the top, in the left hand corner heading `Inbox`. In the right hand corner `my email address`. The main body of the window list e mails received.


3)tap `inbox` on top left... list appears ie
inbox
priority inbox
starred
important
chats
sent
outbox
drafts all mail
spam
recycle bin
personal
receipts
travel
work.

4) tap my email address on top right...

address of email account appears.


Nothing, absolutely nothing which you describe in your previous message appears on my hand set.

Horace, you are not going mad - my phone (HTC) works in the same way. When accessing from the GMail icon I go straight into the In Box and nowhere can I find a Menu option as described by many above!

At the bottom left of the screen I have an envelope with a + sign next to it. This is the compose key you are seeking.

Hopefully you have got the same layout.

You're almost there
When you tap gmail icon and get "screen appears, blue ribbon to the top, in the left hand corner heading `Inbox`. In the right hand corner `my email address`. The main body of the window list e mails received."
Press the left touch button on your phone(MENU) then "compose" is middle top on popup screen.

Before point 3, tap MENU- COMPOSE, just tried it on my HTC Wildfire too and it's the same proceedure.

I must admit reading this it didn't make sense straight off to me either so I got my phone and followed the instructions,
'open email app' = easy,
'menu' = this is the button on the lower left of the screen opposite the back button (below the touch screen), if new to the phone the symbol isn't overly obvious. This brings up 6 options on the touch screen and
'compose' is the top centre option.
HTH

Menu isn't an option on the touch screen it's the button on the bottom left hand side below the touch screen beside home button. (Button without an arrow pointing at it in pic)

I was expecting, incorrectly to use the touch screen only. All is now clear. thanks
