Workaround to No "Select All" Functionality in iPod/iPhone Mail App?

Has anyone come up with a workaround to the lack of a "select all" option in the iPod/iPhone Mail app? Right now, if you are presented with a long list of unread messages, your options are to either read each and every one of them individually, or delete them individually. I was wondering if anyone had come up with either a workaround, or solution provider, in this area. Yes, I have submitted the suggestion to Apple to include this functionality in the future. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I posted the suggestion enhancement to Apple via the "Submit Feedback" option this evening, I wouldn't hold my breath but with no apps or workarounds out there, it's really up to Apple to step up and provide this basic albeit necessary functionality. I really can't be the ONLY Mail user that goes through manually deleting a slew of emails messages every other day, it's ridiculous!

Workaround to No "Select All" Functionality in Phone Mail App?

Yes, which takes seconds. Or after reading a message you want to delete, delete it then with a delete selection - trash can icon at the bottom of the message.
With a significant number of habitual whiners here, I can see the number increase if Apple includes a select and delete all option for any other mailbox except for an account's Trash mailbox that is available now which some would inevitably do unintentionally by accident and then complain - how could Apple do this - I lost all my Inbox messages that I didn't want deleted.

Hotmail on iPhone Or ipod touch mail app!!!

Hey people. Im only making this post to help people out. After a lot of research and a lucky unxpected find, i discovered a way to access your hotmail account on your maill.app
First you need to sign up for a GMX.com mail account (completely free, and EXCELLENT)
Then once inside, you need to add a mail collector account, suck as your hotmail
(The mail collector feature in GMX accesses your Hotmail account and downloads your email messages into the mail collector folder inside of your GMX mail account.)
(Inside the iphone mail app, once you set up your gmx account to work with it, you will have access to a folder that is named: "Mail Collector" and inside will be all of your hotmail emails.)
After you have signed up for a GMX email account, here is how to configure it with the Mail app:
1. Under Settings, select "Mail", "Add Account", "Other", then "IMAP" or "POP" and use the following settings:
Name: enter your name
Address: your full GMX email address
Description: GMX
Incoming Mail Server
Host Name: imap.gmx.com (when you're using IMAP) or
Host Name: pop.gmx.com (when you're using POP)
User Name: your full GMX email address
Password: your GMX password
Outgoing Mail Server
Host Name: mail.gmx.com
User Name: your full GMX email address
Password: your GMX password
Advanced
Use SSL: Off (SSL only works with incoming not going, but to be sure, turn it off for both)
Authentication: Password (both incoming/outgoing)
Server port: 110 (incoming) and 25 (outgoing)
If you selected to use IMAP, you can map iPod Touch folders to GMX IMAP folders. Test first if the default mapping works before changing anything.
To change the mappings, got to Settings>Mail>GMX.
- Select "Advanced"
- Select "Drafts Mailbox" and set it to "On the server > [GMX] Drafts"
c. Select "Sent Mailbox" and set it to "On the server > [GMX] Sent Mail"
d. Select "Deleted Mailbox" and set it to "On the server > [GMX] Trash"
Click on "Advanced" each time to return to the prior menu after choosing a folder

It may have just been that this was the first sync. The messages are all there, but are in reverse order with the oldest message at the top of the stack. It is neither a small nor orderly stack. It may have been because it was the initial sync and this was the order that GMX pulled them from hotmail.
Then there is the lag. I guess that you, like me, tested this out by sending yourself some messages "just to make sure it worked". How long did you find the lag between sending something to hotmail and recieving it through GMX? Right now, I'm sitting on 15 minutes since I sent one and it still has not arived in the GMX collector.
Edit: Never mind on that last part. Seems Hotmail thinks something coming from my gmail account is spam. Twice. But not the ones for blue pills, lotteries from Europe, financially challenged nobility from African nations, or the young lady that wants to get to know me better if only I would stop by her site and see her new pictures.
Thoughts?

Deleted iPod Selection--all songs on iPod disappeared--help!

I had too many songs in my library to fit on my iPod, so my iPod created a selection of songs. Then I added and deleted many songs to the library.
However, when I plugged in my iPod so it would be updated from the revised iTunes library, nothing would happen. So I deleted the iPod selection, thinking iTunes would automatically create a new one based on the revised library. Wrong. I got the message "Songs on your iPod cannot be updated because all of the playlists no longer exist." Uh oh.
Deleting the iPod selection wiped out my iPod, but all the songs are still in my library. How do I get all the music in my iTunes library back onto my iPod? Can't find any info about this problem in the articles. Thanks for any advice you can provide...I'm freaking out.

See if this helps: Hudgie - iPod cannot sync because one or more playlist is missing

Select all functionality in a check box

Hi all
I am using forms 6i
I have a tabular block with a check box
i want to have the functionality wherein the user can select all the records of the form by a single click or any other
way
basically if the user wants to select all the records he does not have to click all the records individually same for deselect
Please let me know if we can do this
thanks

Hai,
create a button to select all, and write this code in the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger.
DECLARE
     Num_Total_Records NUMBER;
     Num_Loop_I                     NUMBER;
BEGIN
     GO_BLOCK('<block_name>');
     LAST_RECORD;
     Num_Total_Records := TO_NUMBER(NAME_IN('SYSTEM.CURSOR_RECORD'));
     FIRST_RECORD;
     FOR Num_Loop_I IN 1..Num_Total_Records LOOP
          :<block_name>.<check_name> := 1;
          NEXT_RECORD;
     END LOOP;
END;
Regards,
Manu.

Closes applications when you use the select all function in the Hebrew language, ios version 7.0.3

Hi I upgraded to Ios version 7.0.3, I use the Hebrew language.
I have a problem when I select all the Hebrew alphabet, no matter where (it's sms, email, Internet, all applications on the device, and the device itself, search, contacts, calendar).
The device closes the application, and then I open the application and has no caption or a site that was supposed to be before closing as if I started now.
The problem occurs even when I write in the search for the problem device does re-lighting the device as if you just turned on the device (no open applications for example).
It only happens in Hebrew only, if there are English and Hebrew together this glitch does not appear.
I tried other languages English Chinese Russian Indian, they respond well to highlight the text individually without the Hebrew language.
It happened in the previous version 7.0.0.
In older versions it never happened and working already more than a year.
This problem also appears in iPhone 4 and iPad 2 on the same Apple id I have iPhone and same version id of the fault doesn't exist and thought at first it was a sugary but all applications are deleted almost everything and the problem still exists.

If you have any questions, ideas I would love to hear from you.
English is not my speech but my second language.
All I write is translation so if there is anything you don't understand, sorry in advance.
If there is a mistake in translation, please correct me so I can learn from my mistakes.
Thank you all.

Disabling "Select all" functionality in IWDTable

Hi Experts,
I have a UI element IWDTable at design time. On the UI there is a arrow to allow the user to
"Select all" and "Deselect all" rows.
With the new UI guidelines it should not be visible.
Is there any designtime property to disable it ?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Harish

Hi,
You have not mentioned about the UI element. Well if the arrow is a button then it must be having visible property. Set it to None.
Or right click on the arrow in layout tab select properties, go to visible property of the UI and make it as None.
thanks & regards,
Manoj

IPod Touch Mail App not working

My family just had FiOS installed a couple days ago. It's taken my brother and I a couple days to notice that the mail apps on our iPod Touches (which worked 100% with our old Verizon DSL) are no longer working (i.e. they are no longer pushing emails from our Yahoo and GMail accounts to the iPods).
I deleted my Yahoo account from my iPod and then tried to re-add it to see if that would fix things and the message I got from the iPod reads: "the imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com is not responding. check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the incoming mail server field" My brother's Touch gave him a different message regarding his Gmail account but he's not here at the moment for me to quote it directly. Only via the wifi at work was I able to successfully re-add my Yahoo account to the iPod. Now I'm back home again and when I try to refresh my inbox it's just "Checking for Mail..." indefinitely.
Note that it's only the mail app that is not functioning; all the other online functionality of the iPods (Safari, Youtube, weather app, iTunes) are working 100% with FiOS. And as I mentioned above, the mail app worked today on the wifi at work. It's only at home with the new FiOS that the mail app on my iPod stops working.
Any ideas? Might there perhaps be something I can tinker with in the router settings?

Me again. I've discovered the mail app works when I set the firewall from maximum to typical. Is there any way to tell it to let it work on maximum?

IPod Touch mail app smarter/pushier than MacBook with Gmail?

This overlaps multiple categories, starting inquiry here first.
Why doesn't my MacBook's mail program update read-vs.-unread Gmail like my iPod Touch does? I read a message on the dedicated app on my 'Touch and it counts as "read" on Gmail; I read a message on my MacBook, and no, not registered as read on Gmail. Likewise, my MacBook "send" folder only has messages sent from my MacBook, not all my Gmail-sent messages. I've tried setting options to be as "pushy" as I know to make them in my MacBook, but what'm I doing wrong? Thanks for any info.

IPhone Mail App not showing all messages

I have set my iphone mail settings to show 500 recent messages, but it only shows 10 messages - how do i get past this problem?

What Kind of email account is it.
If the account is Gmail or Yahoo, those are IMAP accounts which all messages can be retrieved from the server over and over again if you remove the account and re-add it.
Now if you are using like a SBC-Global, ATT.net, Bellsouth, Anything that is a POP3 Account it will only download new message and not past ones.

How to set 'Expand All Conversations' as default in Mail.app

Can anyone suggest a way that 'Expand All Conversations' can be set as the default layout. I realize how it can be implemented from the menubar command or via the message's triangle icon, but each time I close Mail, the app reverts to the closed layout. I would prefer to retain the expanded layout at all times (in the same way the user can tick off 'Organize All Conversations' and retain it across restarts).

You can create a custom keyboard shortcut to expand all conversations easily.
- Go to System Prefs
- Select the Keyboard icon
- Select the Keyboard Shortcuts tab
- Click Application Shortcuts
- Click +
- Select Mail from the Applications drop down
- Enter exact Menu item " Expand All Conversations" without quotes of course
- then choose a shortcut you prefer
- Suggest testing out the shortcut you prefer on Mail to make sure it is not currently used
- Click Add
- When you get back to your Apple Mail, you can now use the shortcut everytime you want to expand all conversations...
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any other solution so far...
