    I’m trying to create a canned response in Gmail desktop version on my galaxy note 10.1 2014 but for some reason I can’t paste pics in email body. Any suggestions?
    Also having trouble posting pics in other Gmail apps on my device.

    I have installed the gmail app on my galaxy note, but now it puts all my incoming emails in my inbox. On my last phone it automatically filtered my messages according to the labels I have on the PC-version of my gmail (so ‘social’, ‘promotions’,’updates’, etc.). Now it is not filtering the messages on my phone (so I have a vast quantity of emails that are not relevant from day-to-day and that I only read once a week for instance). I can see that I can make new filters on the phone – but that is a lot of work to get to the same system as I have already created in my online account (and I am sure it might get confused if I start applying labels to the emails coming in on my phone). How do I get the Note version of gmail to sync with the online version (including all my folers?).

    I have a Draft saved in my Gmail on the computer but it doesn’t show up on my note3 email app. How do I get my drafts to show up on my note3? Thanks for the help.

    I just set up my new Note 3. When I use Gmail and view an email, and delete it, then application returns to the listing of emails and I have to manually open the next email. On my previous Galaxy Nexus, when I deleted an email, it would go to the next email – much faster/easier to use. I cannot change the settings either on the Note 3. Any suggestions – this really effects productivity.
