iPhone OS to Gain Universal Inbox for Mail?
Anyway, I just have one question for you: will iPhone ever have a universal mailbox just like Mail has on my Mac? It would be so much easier and efficient.
iPhone users with multiple email accounts on their devices currently must manually navigate between accounts to check for messages in each one, whereas Mail on Mac OS X presents a single Inbox with messages from all accounts displayed in a single window. Jobs' reply suggest that such Mac OS X-like Mail functionality is planned for the iPhone, although it is unknown when the change might be implemented.Apple is widely expected to introduce new iPhone models, and presumably an updated "iPhone OS 4.0", sometime in the June or July timeframe if past releases can be trusted as an indication.
Also mentioned in TUAW's report are brief emails from Jobs arguing for iPhoto over Google's Picasa for photo management and noting that users will be able to move documents onto the iPad.

i have a blackberry and iphone. when the iphone vibrates i usually check my BB since it's easier to see the latest message. but i like the iphone mail app better overall since it has all my MS Exchange folders properly organized

I've definitely been waiting for this one. Have 3 separate email accounts that I use regularly. This will come in SUPER handy for me, especially as I file all my messages into subfolders of only one of the accounts...

Ah yes fantastic, i have three mail accounts on my iPhone this would be much better. Id also like to have a notification pop up like when you get a text that tells you who mail is from and the subject line etc.

But I prefer the seperate inboxes.
I think they are still separate, Mail.app just offers a way to see all the mail from one location. If you look in the inbox you can actually single out which mailbox you want to see the inbox for.

The flood of terse emails from Apple CEO Steve Jobs continues (via TUAW), this time responding from his iPad with a simple "Yep" to a question from a user about whether the iPhone's Mail functionality will gain a "universal mailbox" as found in Mail on Mac OS X.
Good idea, but how about the ability to collapse the Exchange mail folder hierarchy? It takes a long time to scroll through my many hundreds of folders and it would be great to be able to expand / collapse portions of the tree at will :)
