That's what I downloaded. It looks just like the old version of typeapp (which I was happy with), I'm sure it's the same company.

Yes, by having less than 99 unread emails

While I will agree that it sucks!....and even more saddening is that this is a man-made disaster...since in old gmail versions on Android this limitation did not exist. But as a workaround meanwhile I'm using the Unread Badge (for Gmail) app. What this does is that it gives you widgets (or rather 'app shortcuts', since it can be used in the bottom row of pinned apps on the home screen) for any gmail folder (acount>Inbox is the first choice obviously) that displays on it the unread email count in full. So I'm just using this as my home screen shortcut to the email accounts (have for two of my frequently used accounts), and that way before I go into it I see the unread count.

Helps?

Thanks.  You literally saved my life. Google recently updated  their Gmail  app on  ios as well with the 99+ limit. Can you think of any reason why they have this stupid 99 limit?

I think it is already almost a year on iOS too. No idea why they did it, perhaps you can try to give feedback about it (in the gmail app, in the navigation drawer, go to Help & Feedback and click Send Feedback.)

Security contractors recently discovered preinstalled software in some Android phones that monitors where users go, whom they talk to and what they write in text messages.

One American phone manufacturer, BLU Products, said that 120,000 of its phones had been affected.

The software was written at the request of an unidentified Chinese manufacturer that wanted the ability to store call logs, text messages and other data, according to the Adups document.

Adups said the Chinese company used the data for customer support.

Why did you leave CloudMagic? If it was because of the change to Newton, Just take the trial and after you can kep using it without the premium features but it says subsription required to keep using Newton.

that is why i left initially. I thought it was pay or get out. Once i left i saw that the free option was still there.
I am overall much happier with nine though. I dont think i could ever go back. Much smoother, less hanging up, and has way more features such as calendar and contacts phone integration

My main reason to be with Newton is the search capabilities of emails not on the device. How is nine in that regard?

The gmail app's latest update brought astonishing search. It searches through emails not on the device really fast.

That is exactly why Newton can do it better than others since all the work is done server side.
