When going through mails in the Inbox view, I’ve noticed that I am unable to select a whole list of mails by dragging the stylus down the list. Anyone else with this problem?
That's not a problem in Win Mob, that's actually a feature...!
Sorry for the joke - mine actually works? Mine's stock standerd out of the box from MTN...
Try the following?
Deleting multiple emails within a mailbox
Let's say we're deleting 5 emails in a row.
* Windows Mobile: (1) Drag your finger/stylus across the emails you want to delete, (2) tap delete, (3) Confirm with Yes (optional). 3 taps.
* iPhone: (1) tap Edit, (2) Tap "Delete Circle" on first email, (3) Tap Delete and watch animation for a split second, (4-11) Repeat those taps on three more emails. 11 taps.
You can also use the "slide delete" method to eliminate step 1 above, but in practice it's much easier to tap than to slide to delete when doing multiple emails - it's faster and much less likely to cause you to accidentally open the email.
Note that with Windows Mobile, the only time the number of taps is going to increase is when you have emails you don't want to delete in between the ones you do.
Although the "tap count" is closer in some of these sub-categories, with the iPhone winning most, the bulk-delete category is just a deal breaker for me. In fact, I often found myself simply using the "in email" method of deleting on the iPhone and waiting for the delete animation and for it to load the next email I want to delete simply because it was easier (and slightly faster) to not have to move my fingers off the delete button.
Add the fact that you can, if you're daring, turn off the delete confirmation in Windows Mobile to shave off a step and it's no contest.
