Disable viewing next mail message(s) on iPad?!?

Why has this not been fixed yet?? I know there are other "mail apps" out there, but I'd love to be able to just open up my Apple Mail app on my iPad and not be forced to see a mail message displayed if there is one in my inbox.
Why can't we deselect a message in the sidebar and have the large portion of the screen on the right say, "No message selected" or it can just be a blank page for all I care - just like you have an "empty" inbox.
It's a little absurd how aggravated I get about this, but I think it is incredibly foolish to not have this option from Apple. I **HATE** to use the Mail app from Apple. Anybody else feel the same way?

Let apple know how you feel

Will mail messages move from iPad to iMac without WIFI?

I have an iMac, but do not have regular internet service at my house. I'm considering buying an iPad with 3G to access the internet. If I download my mail messages on the iPad and then sync it with the iMac, do the messages move over onto the iMac or do they just stay on the iPad?

The warning about the deletion of the mails of the account in question can only refer to the inbox. No email you have archived or put into a different folder will be deleted. If you're still worried back everything up before going ahead.

Viewing individual Mail Messages

From my inbox, I can preview up each message and view some of the content of each message, but when I select an individual message, I'm unable to read/see any text in the message. I've unloaded and reloaded MobileMe on my device, but it still doesn't allow me to view an individual message.
No issue on the iPad.

Have you tried dragging the mail from the inbox and dropping it where you want to save it - all in the MAILBOXES sidebar? If you make the sub folders visible, you should be able to deposit the mail wherever you like.

Is there a way to recover a deleted ( by accident) e-mail message on my iPad? The e-mail was created, I thought I hit the send button..

Hi there, does anyone know how to recover a newly created e-mail message that was possibly deleted instead of sent. I think my I may have hit the delete button instead of the send button? I have searched all my e-mail folders: draft, trash, sent etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes with an Exchange or IMAP account, which are designed for this very thing.
All server stored mailboxes with an Exchange or IMAP account are synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account.
This is not possible with an antiquated POP account which was designed to be accessed with a single email client only - developed when the overwhelming majority of computer users had one computer - a desktop, and before notebooks were commonplace.

Why can't I view saved mail in hotmail on ipad 2

I can receive and send mail ok but I can't view any saved emails in hotmail on my ipad2. I can view them on my laptop, but I don't use it much now that I have an ipad. Can any one tell me what I can do.

Because it's not included the mobile version of Hotmail. Just like the mobile version of Yahoo mail doesn't show the spam box either.......

Hello,
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...

How set up new ipad air with mail messages from old ipad 2?

How do I move mail from wife's old ipad 2 to her new ipad air 2? After that I will clean off the old ipad and use it myself.

Before erasing the old iPad 2 make a backup in iTunes or back it up to iCloud. Then when you setup the new iPad you will be given the option to restore from a backup.

How do I scroll to most recent mail message using my iPad's external keyboard?

If I have been looking at a message further down, the only way I know of to get back to the most recent message is to scroll with my finger (sometimes through hundreds of messages).

One way to get to the top (latest) is to touch the top of the screen above the list of emails.

How can I save mail messages on iPad

I (strictly, my wife) have just bought a WiFi-only iPad to replace an ageing MacBook, and I also have an iMac. I have a need to store and organize a limited number of Mail messages in the iPad, such that they are available in the future when I do not have internet access - i.e. while travelling. These are varied, but typically contain reference information, reservation details, receipts, directions, etc.
Previously, this was easy to do with the MacBook. I set up our GMail account as POP3, and filed such messages as we needed in as many Filed Mail mailboxes as I wanted. Unfortunately, if you set up a Mail account as POP on the iPad, you can't define Filed Mail mailboxes. And if you set up the account as IMAP, you don't have access to your filed mail when not connected to the internet. So you're damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
So here's the question. Is there any organised way to save messages permanently on the iPad? And any attachments need to be kept as well. While strictly they no longer need to be in Mail format (i.e. can't be forwarded or replied to), that would be a less convenient approach, and those all-important attachments would have to be dealt with. But I am willing to be flexible.
And before anyone says that POP will not work with multiple devices, GMail POP has a feature that allows the same email to be downloaded to multiple devices as well as being held on the server if required, and all sent emails are also echoed back to all devices (the "recent" feature). This has worked fantastically up to now.
Any help would be appreciated.

Do you need to be able to initiate this entirely from the iPad, or would it be acceptable to have to use one of your Macs when you save one of the limited number of messages? If involving a Mac would be acceptable, I can see ways to work around the iPad's lack of local mailbox storage.
You could use one of the various free cloud storage services that allow general file storage and local retention on the iPad (for example, Dropbox or Dump Truck, but not iCloud).
For Dropbox, you would make a folder for this cluster of saved messages inside Dropbix. For each message you want to save, create a folder inside that cluster folder, do a "Save As..." in Mac Mail.app for the text body, then a "Save Attachments..." if appropriate. (The inner folder wouldn't be strictly necessary for messages without attachments, but I suggest it for consistency.)
The key part is to open Dropbox on the iPad and mark the message and attachments as favorites (starred). That causes Dropbox to preload them on the iPad and retain them there until they are unstarred (lose favor).
You could probably do something similar with Evernote and favorites.

How do I keep Mail messages from vanishing?

I don't use iCloud for much, but I have sent a few Mail messages from my iPad (iCloud address) and I have received a few at that address that I need to be able to view on my Mac and to have available for viewing on my iPad. The received messages consistently disappear after a few weeks. The most recent one that I forwarded to my iCloud address from my desktop machine appeared in the list of messages (already a very short list due to the vanishing act) for a nanosecond when I first opened Mail on my iPad, and then vanished. Only a single message is still there out of maybe a dozen messages that ought to be there.
The iPad is running the most recent iOS version. I use Snow Leopard most of the time on my Mac, but I boot into Mountain Lion when I have to: I sync the iPad in Mountain Lion. I access iCloud through my browser when I'm in Snow Leopard.
What do I have to set or change to make iCloud e-mail at least minimally useful? I've looked at the settings, and don't see anything obvious. My regular e-mail accounts are configured to never automatically be deleted from the server, but I don't see a way to do that with iCloud mail.

Ok, just discovered it only does this in split-keyboard mode.

I "reply"ed to an e-mail message. The next time when I chose to write a new message and type the first letter of the person I replied to earlier, that name and e-mail address appears as a choice included in a pop up list of my contacts.

The persons name is not in my contacts and I would like to delete it from popping up. Do you know how I can do this?

The Mail app on the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch does have an option to clear previous recipients. You can learn to live with it. But if you want to get rid of it, the only way to remove these cached email addresses from the Mail application is restoring the iPhone/iPod Touch as a new phone/iPod. If you restore from backup, the cache is also restored.
This article shows you the screens you will see during the restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

What is the Keyboard Shortcut for Next/Previous Message in Lion Mail?

Using the 'full screen' message viewer (rather than the preview pane) how do I progress to an older/newer message in a folder without closing the window?

So Entourage can go to the previous message? How do you do that?
I can't stand that Mail always goes to the next newest message after deleting.
Every other email program I've ever seen (including Entourage - see below) can do this. Why can't Apple? I don't want to touch the mouse most of the time because it really slows down work to move ones hands back and forth. I did a quick web search and found these shortcuts for all the major programs. If you know of any other program besides Apple Mail that doesn't have this, let me know.
Until then, if Outlook, Outlook Express, Entourage, Sparrow, Postbox, and Thunderbird have had this, what's Apple's problem adding it?

When I am viewing the latest message in a conversation in Mail in the preview and want to reply, I hit reply and it does not include the latest message? I have to double click the latest message to open it and then reply. I find this irritating and would like to skip this step and be able to reply from preview and include that message. Am I missing a setting to fix this?

I have found that if you have highlighted some text in the message and then hit reply, the highlighted section is the only bit included in the reply. You need to click on the message in the middle list rather than the preview pain on the righthand side and it should reply normally. To check it's doing this, select a message in the middle section of the screnn then use the down arrow to drop to the next message. Hit reply, and it should reply normally. I hope this helps.
