Thanks for another great video. I tried to get Google Now to send some emails for me but got a No Contacts screen up. Is there an address book? How do I establish a list of contacts? I assume that the app used for mail will be Gmail as opposed to my more often used regular email, which I have entered into the N10.
Also, does the Notification pull down on the left top automatically show emails from both of my email accounts or do I have to go into a settings menu?
Thanks again, not only for your videos but for answering the many followup questions in this thread.

Thanks for the feedback and for your questions.
Yes, Google Now can pull up your contacts from Gmail. For instance, say "Email <person's name>" and a contact card should pop up with their contact info and email. Simply tap the card and it will pull up your Gmail account and allow you to start comping the message. If your contacts are not coming up, go into settings and sync your Google & Gmail accounts again.
Your notification shade will display messages from all of your email accounts, provided you have them set up. You have your gmail, but you can also go into "mail" (separate setting from gmail) and set up a new POP or IMAP account for other emails. Since I use gmail services for my website address (still displays
dana@stimulatedboredom.com), it becomes unified in my gmail app and notifications. Therefore, when I launch gmail, I can select (via a pull down) between my personal and website emails. In the notifications bar, it will clearly display separate emails for each account to make it easier to see which ones received emails and will launch the appropriate screen when I tap on them. You can even set up separate email widgets to display the inbox of any of your email accounts, including the unified gmail. So I have a widget for personal email and another for my website email, that I can access and see quickly via the widgets.
