Information on Email Tile

[paulek]

I switched from the iPhone 5 and one of the few features of IOS that I miss is the IOS notification of emails received (showing sender and some text) without unlocking the phone. Is there any way to have the "unified" email tile scroll recent messages received so that I don't have to actually open my email box to get this information? Otherwise very pleased with Lumia 928.

Well, you can add your Linked Inbox to the lockscreen and show detailed status by going into Lockscreen settings. It'll only display your most recent unread email.

As far as a scrolling tile for recent emails, I don't think that's possible with the native app. You can pin your linked inbox to the start screen and make it a double wide tile to display more text from your emails. It may cycle through new emails, but it could also just show your newest email. I haven't really paid attention.

Hope this helps.

Well that worked. Using the double wide tile displays new emails. Thanks.
