Show Only Unread Messages in iPhone Web App
On the iPhone web app, it would be nice to be able to switch between two modes (maybe chose the path at the top-most level after log-in). One mode would be as it stands: If a mailbox has any not-deleted, not-saved messages in it, it appears in your big list.
My suggestion is for another model where it only shows mailboxes with unread messages in them. Sort of a quick, only-show-me-what's-new view.
My use case is to just leave stuff in my mailboxes. Maybe that's weird, but that's how I do it. So I'm more interested in what's unread than what's unsaved. I'd still like the ability to get at read messages, but that's of secondary importance to me.
I thought of this because this morning on the bus, I went to check my OtherInbox on the bus and the scrolling through my long list of mailboxes was wonky. It's like it didn't... "take" until my finger was about half-way up the screen and flicking to scroll down quickly didn't work at all. Having a shorter list would work around this bug and be more convenient in general for me.

I’m pleased I finally came up with a suggestion to solve my use case.

Inappropriate?Thanks, Ben, for your suggestion!
We are kicking around ideas on how best to implement the concept of "custom folders" and a way to only view mailboxes that have unread messages has been discussed. That might be a good way to view only the mailboxes you're talking about.
Either way, thank you for letting us know you would like to see an "unread only" view. The iPhone web app certainly has a lot of room for improvement and as we develop it, we will certainly consider something that would be along these lines.
I’m happy

Inappropriate?I totally agree - I was thinking about something like that for the IMAP server - unread.imap.otherinbox.com only shows you unread messages, etc.
I’m happy
