A few more shortcuts (such as marking multiple messages read, searching across folders, text snippets or a unified inbox) would be great, though.
- iPhone Mail is a mature and powerful mobile email program
- You can view richly formatted messages and attachments the way they were intended
- iPhone Mail accesses multiple POP, IMAP and Exchange accounts, for some with live updates and search
- iPhone Mail does not thread messages or sort them by anything but date
- You cannot filter mail in iPhone Mail or mark read in bulk
- Handling multiple accounts could be both simpler and more efficient
- iPhone Mail lets you access multiple POP, Exchange and IMAP email accounts on an iPhone.
- Messages with rich formatting and attachments (including images, Office documents and PDFs) are displayed as intended.
- Integration with iPhone Contacts and Safari puts email addresses and linked web pages at your fingertips.
- You can find mail using From, To and Subject search (on the server if possible), and delete and file messages in bulk
- Pictures from iPhone Photos can be sent as attachments easily, and you can paste any rich-text content from the web, e.g..
- iPhone Mail is available for third-party applications to create emails — using message templates, for example.
- New messages from MobileMe, Yahoo! Mail and Exchange accounts can be pushed to iPhone Mail without manual checking.
- iPhone Mail supports iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3G S and iPod touch.
Looking at the odd message in between is even more joyful. Not only does iPhone Mail render emails — even those rich in formatting and images — just the way they were intended; everything is crisp and legible, too, and you can zoom in pinching nonchalantly, of course.
If the portrait screen is not wide enough, switching to landscape usually does the trick — in particular if you prefer the bigger keyboard for typing. In either orientation, iPhone Mail's message list easy to navigate, and moving and deleting multiple messages in one go is surprisingly efficient. Unfortunately, you cannot mark emails read in the same swift manner.
While navigating folders is fast and easy, those using multiple accounts (iPhone Mail supports IMAP, POP and Exchange, some pushing new mail to the device) could profit from a universal inbox and a way to move mail between accounts.
Searching mail is fast, easy and very useful. If the mail server supports it, you can continue your search beyond what mail is already on the phone. Unfortunately, iPhone Mail only searches header fields, not bodies, and you cannot search across folders. Filters for organizing are also missing. The way iPhone Mail displays Office and PDF attachments is exemplary, though. Unfortunately, there's no way to save and edit or open them in something akin to Google Docs.
Of course, you don't just want to look at mail, however pretty, and delete it; you want to compose and reply, too. iPhone Mail delivers, rich-text and photo pasting and all. Templates and text snippets could help get emails typed faster, though.
All in all, iPhone Mail is a glorious way to read mail on the go and a viable tool to send mail. It could get even more versatile, though, and offer more shortcuts.
