Thank you! This is great.

One thing I tried that was even easier when using filters was entering my own email address under the “To:” section — that included everything in my inbox.

Then forwarding it to my cell!

Great article! Love it!

Gmail requires that you verify the “email address”, and when it sends my phone the verification code the message is to long (over 160 characters), and I don’t receive the code because its at the bottom of the message. Therefor its impossible for me to get the verification code and add my phone as a forwarding filter.
Any advice?

“despite it meaning that you often can’t reply to the sender as there is no return shortcode or MSIDIN that can be associated to an email”
not true, my gf’s fone can reply directly to the ‘from 101000030′sms msg and it sends back to my originating gmail

Hi..
This is great and almost what I was looking for. Like you, I only want to be notified that I have an important email in my gmail acct on my cell phone. I don’t want the email message sent to my phone, just a notification. Something like “You’ve Got Gmail”. Then I will log into gmail from my phone and read the new email. Sometimes my wife will pick up my phone when I get a text message and I don’t need her reading the email that I get from Everyone! So a text message that I’ve got new Gmail is what I’m looking for.

Thanks for the tips.

Ok, well if you go to the settings on gmail, you can simply click the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab, and enter an email address, the one for your cell phone, and have them forwarded that way, if you want all of them instead of just some being filtered.

Cool trick, I was sick of having to open the Gmail app on my phone only to see the email I was waiting for had not yet been sent.

Thanks
