iPhone Mail tip
July 11th, 2007 by Chris
Maybe this is aready common knowledge, but I just stumbled upon a little time saver in the iPhone mail application. Normally when I want to delete an email, I click the message from the mailbox list and then use the trash can button to dispose of it while viewing the content.
Turns out that its possible to delete directly from the list without having to view the message content. Simply swipe your finger across the message entry in the list. Once you do this a delete button slides in that you can press to trash that spam with extreme prejudice.
I remember this being shown in the iPhone Guided Tour on apple.com
You can also click the “edit” button, then click the “-” and then “delete” buttons for each email. More work but the swipe method sometimes doesn’t work for me.
