Mine looks like children's alphabet blocks. I will get use to it.

I got rid of the letters by going to settings and in checking "sender image"

Yeah you just need to give it a few days. Google is rolling the update out in stages so it'll take a bit for some people to get it

The same time it's available for the Droid RAZR, and that is to say expect the update shortly. It's an update to Gmail, not Android; this isn't Nexus-specific.

Thanks, much better now. I didn't think about them being placeholders. Now, if only Google would give us a dark version option.

EDIT: Found the setting to make delete reappear. Crisis averted, anger distinguished.

I don't know whose bright idea it was to remove the delete button, but I absolutely hate this update.

It should be, not only for you but for everyone.

Where do deleted emails go in this new version?

Go to settings - general and touch "archive and delete actions" - there you can restore the delete button. I don't know why, but they made archive only the default.

Personally, I miss swiping to delete - that's been changed to archive only.

Don't they go in Trash, as they always did?

Got it this evening Central U.S. time.

if you change "archive and delete actions" to "delete only" then swiping will delete email.

if the action is "show archive only" or "show delete and archive" then swiping is archive

Finally...it lets you empty trash from the mobile app. About time!

Is anyone having a problem with 4.5 not giving notifications most of the time? I manually downloaded the APK on Monday and it worked fine, but on Tuesday I noticed I wasn't getting any notifications. I rolled back the update via System>Apps>Uninstall Updates and it updated to 4.3.x or something. Today, the 4.5 update appeared in Play and I updated, but now it's acting the same way, only giving notifications about 20% of the time, if that. Not cool. Anyone else having this?

EDIT: I finally found out what was causing the notification problem, namely that if you have the new tabbed inbox folders set up on the web, ONLY the Primary folder has notifications turned on by default if you have notifications set. The Social, Promotions, Updates and Forums folders are turned OFF by default and have to be manually configured, both in turning them on AND setting a ring tone. AFAIK, there is no "Make folders use master notification setting" option.

To configure notifications for sub-folders:

1. Select an Inbox folder (e.g. Social) from the slide-out window.
2. From the overflow menu (i.e. the three dots in the upper-right corner) select Label Settings
3. Toggle on "Label notifications" and configure to your hearts content.
4. Rinse, repeat with all the other folders.

To not have to put up with this nonsense:

1. Go to your Gmail Inbox via the web.
2. Click the gear icon in the upper-right and select "Configure Inbox."
3. Uncheck all the sub-folders and click Save.
4. PROFIT!!! Also, get all your mail notified like before.

I'll give you one guess as to which method I used. This folder system would be better if we could notify based on labels instead of categories chosen by Google. Have one ringtone for your Significant Other, another for work emails, etc.
