How to Create an 'Unread' Folder in the iOS Mail App

Still doesn't change the fact that I have two thousand unread emails :eek:

Go back and delete anything older than two weeks. Those people have given up on getting a response from you anyway. ;)

Why would I want a dedicated spot for unread mail?

Isn't just having it marked unread in your inbox good enough?

It's incredibly handy. I've been using this for years now.

Not if you have different emails and many emails coming your way daily and many with attachments and other stuff that might take some time to load from different servers. It's a way to only see and reply to the most instant needs of your emails. As someone that doesn't put important and older emails into folders since years ago this is a feature I like using.

Now if only the mail app could get my gmail accounts mail instantly again like the old days I might start using it again. For now outlook all the way for me. Apple has the money they should eat the small cost of people using other mail addresses that are not apples. They need to support the most used mail servers properly if they really cared for people to use the mail app with no way to un-install or have redirects work easier.

Not to derail this thread too far, but posts like this really torque my jaws. People assume that because Apple "has the money" they should pay for things for their users. Can you say "entitlement"? Just because Apple has the money to fund something, that does not necessarily mean that they should foot the bill for the world.

Of course there's also the fact that, in this case, this was NOT a change by Apple that removed the exchange access to gmail - it was Google. Facts are stubborn things.

Now, back on topic:

This is a great feature, and one that I have been using since Apple introduced it with the release of iOS 7.

Google were the ones that stopped providing exchange access (and thus push) to free Gmail accounts.
