Is it possible to disable swipe left delete in Mail on iOS8?

Not only does it make it unbelievably difficult to access the 'More, Flag, Trash' options, but it deletes the email permanently without even a confirmation message…
What a horrible, horrible UX decision. I lost a few important emails this afternoon due to this.
Is there a way to disable it?

I absolutely hate this as well! Hard to believe this is how this feature was implemented.
Swipe right to "mark unread" .. Swipe left to "flag" or "delete" ... when trying to flag an important email, it is a very fine line to accidentally delete it.
Delete should be by itself when swiping left.
Swiping right should give you the option to "flag" or "mark as unread."

Can i disabled swip to delete on some cell?

Hello All,
I've categorized item list on category section. and I've implement commitEditingStyle: for swipe to delete.
my Problem is when item not in any category at that time i display "No Data" on cell. i want to disabled swipe to delete for this cell.
When we add UITableViewDelegate Method
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tv commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;
It's handle the automatically swipe to delete button and pass
"editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete"
Please Guide me how to disable / enable for some cell.

Implement:
- (UITableViewCellEditingStyle)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
and return UITableViewCellEditingStyleNone for the cells that you don't want to allow swipe-to-delete for.

Is it possible to disable the left and right 10% of the screen?

I know that in the home menu, iOS ignores the 20% or so of the margins if your thumb is there, so that you can use another finger to operate it even with a thumb touching the screen.
Is it possible to disable some portion of the screen to touch? Reading a book, etc, would be much more comfortable if I were able to hold the iPad more inward.

How do I make it so that it CAN?

(Z10)How to disable synchronization of e-mails?

Hello,
I currently have a Blackberry Z10, and I wonder if it is possible to disable the synchronization of e-mails, without interrupting the data connection.
I already tried to sync manually e-mails, but this solution doesn't suit me... e-mails continue to download automatically .
Can anyone suggest a fix for this problem? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The method will depend upon the type of email account you're using. If you're using Outlook.com (or Hotmail, Live.com) ActiveSync email, you can go to settings > Accounts > select the email account. Scroll down and toggle "Sync Email" to off.
IMAP email (such as Gmail, is a little different. There isn't an on/off switch. If you don't want to switch to manual, you could change the accont password - which would "unsync" your email from the device.
For both of these, you would be essentially re-syncing all the email when you re-connected, and incur data charges. If you are going to do so, I'd suggest being on WiFi when re-connecting.

Swipe left is deleting mail messages even when swipe is disabled

Swipe left is deleting mail messages even when swipe is disabled. I had it set to "Flag", but it was still deleting them so I tried disabling it.
It does this only with my Exchange account, not other mail accounts. Running iOS 8.1, but it did it with 8.0, 8.02 as well.
Anyone else experiencing this? any fixes?

Thanks, that got me on the right track. Searched a little more and changed the end to:
tell application "Mail"
(* do stuff *)
          set theSelection to selection
          set theMessage to item 1 of theSelection
          set theAccount to account of mailbox of theMessage
     set mailbox of theMessage to mailbox "Trash" of theAccount
end tell
And that seems to work.

How can I disable 4-finger swipe left/right?

How can I disable 4-finger swipe left/right? I map these to far more useful keystrokes in BTT; my mappings still work but it also switches, rendering them effectively useless. This was working for me in Lion until I did an update a couple of days ago. Every other gesture is in trackpad config except these 2.

That actually was disabled in my settings for me so I didn't think so. But I went and enabled/disabled it with no result. I then switched it to 3 fingers from 4 fingers and back again and now it's gone. Knowing what to search for I found this thread, it seems other have had the same problem; thanks for pointing me in the right direction:

I am having trouble deleting messages from my phone (5C) I have followed the intructions on the support site but no luck.

Have I set up the phone wrong or has the phone a fault. (I have had it for about a month.)

You will have to close firefox.exe with the Windows Task Manager from the "Processes" tab of the WTM since you don't have a widow to close.
The best way to close Firefox is through File > Exit, for those who stuck with the "Firefox" button click on the Firefox button then Exit. It is not perfect but it is a lot better than just closing the window with the "X" in the upper right corner

Actually I need to get the Swipe left and right Event on these bases I have to download and delete the selected listView item.
sandeep chauhan

Hi Sandeep,
That probably require you to do some extra coding on ManipulationDelta event.
We can get the initial touch point at from ManipulationStarted while we can get current point from ManipulationDelta, do some calculation we can know whether user swipe left or swipe right.

Gmail app: swipe to delete not archive

In the Gmail app for iOS (not a Gmail account on the native Mail app), is it possible to swipe left to delete not archive? I've trawled through the web but didn't find anything. Nothing under Gmail app or any other settings either.

Thanks to everyone who mentioned swipe to delete! I did not know that was an option.
I had downloaded some iTunes U content and then decided I didn't want it on my iPhone 4S 16gig, so I unchecked it in iTunes but this did not remove the files.
Swipe to delete did, so thank you!

Possible to disable recently exported files from showing?

at the home screen for ExportPDF, you can see the recently exported files. Is it possible to disable the recent files from showing?

Hi ymco-hi,
As Sara mentioned there's no way to disable the recently exported files from showing. The only way you can make the files not appear in the list is by deleting them.
Please follow the steps below for the same:
Click on 'View All' and it will direct you to the 'Files' section where all the files are backed up.
As you take your mouse on the file you want it to be disappeared, a check box will appear at the left corner.
Click on that and you will see few option at the top.See this screen shot.
Click on 'Delete' button and your file will no more appear on Export PDF screen.
Regards,
Florence

How do I resync a song manually deleted on iPhone with 'swipe to delete'?

I accidently deleted a song while browsing music on my iPhone (with the swipe to delete function) and now I am not able to resync the song back onto the phone even though it's still happily there in iTunes on my iMac.
I've tried explicitly adding it to a playlist that enforces a sync to the iPhone and I can actually see iTunes telling me that it's syncing it to the phone, however it still doesn't show up when on the phone - so I guess the iPhone is somehow remembered the delete operation and is hiding it from me?
Does anyone know how I might get this song showing back up on my iPhone???
Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Andy

It depends on which country that you are in as to whether you can re-download it - it's not currently possible in all countries (what you can re-download, and where, is listed on this page). If you can re-download music then it should appear in the Purchased section under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes, and the Purchased tab at the bottom of the iTunes app on the iPad : re-downloading

I updated my iPad to 7.0.6 but I find the new look very irritating. In mail I can no longer swipe left on a message to erase it. The font in calendar is so small I can't read my appointments. I happen to like the yellow paper that was in notes.

You have to swipe from right to left to delete mail.
In the settings, accessibility you can make fonts bolder, that helps a bit.
THe yellow paper...sorry, no tweak for that unless you find a different notes app to use.

How can I set up a rule to delete all messages older than 6 months left in Apple Mail's main inbox?

How can I set up a rule to delete all messages older than 6 months left in Apple Mail's main inbox?
I have created other rules to move some of my daily messages into specific folders and I don't wish to auto-delete those.
Just the general stuff that keeps piling up in my me.com main email box. Mail such as FB announcements and other low priority stuff I want to look at before deleting but don't want to keep longer than a week or month.
TIA

Thanks, but I am looking for a more automated solution than hand marking emails as junk. I might as well move them to the trash myself.
Again, these are emails I want to receive and quickly read, but not keep longer than a week or month or so. By setting a rule to toss any older than 30 days back then my Mail program (and thus my hard drive) won't be wasting so much space. For example, currently I have over 6000 read messages, with their attachments, in my main email box. I'd rather not have to physically attend to sorting the one I don't want out.
The one I do keep for other reasons get moved into other folders.
It seems this should be possible.
