Hi Morné,
I assume by “bin” you mean you want to move messages to the trash folder? Unfortunately I don’t have an iPad which is a bit different from an iPhone in that the mail app uses the split screen layout, but I will describe how this looks on an iPhone and hopefully you can apply that to your iPad and find the buttons I describe: Method 1: Double tap on “Edit” at the top right of the screen. Now you can double tap all the messages you want to delete or move to a different folder and each time you double tap on a message it will say it’s “selected”. Assume you do this with 5 messages, if you now check the bottom left of the screen it will say “Delete, 5 button”, in the middle above the home key it will say “Move, 5 button” and at the bottom right it will say “Mark, 5 button”. Double tap the one you want and the action is performed. If you want to empty the Trash folder, just double tap on Edit and somewhere (once again it’s at the bottom left on an iPhone) there will be a “Delete All” button. Method 2: In iOS 6 there is a new gesture which works in certain areas. The gesture is a single finger flick up or down and it was designed to make it easy to delete messages in the mail app or messages app, songs, albums or artists in the music app, favorites in the phone app or reminders in the reminders app. There maybe other places where this works, but those are the ones I can think of right now. Normally whenever you go into the mail app the “action” rotor setting which allows for this gesture to work, is selected automatically. Try to open the mail app, find a message you want to delete and just do a single finger flick up or down. Voiceover should say “Delete” and you can now double tap anywhere on the screen and delete the message. If you decide you want to open the message again and read it, flick up or down again and Voiceover will say “Default” which means now the default action for the double tap will happen which is it will open the message. After you deleted a message in this way the rotor automatically changes back to Default so that if you double tap on the next message it will open instead of being deleted. I find it quite fast and easy to delete messages that way, I flick down and double tap, after the next message gains focus or I find it I repeat it, flick down and double tap etc. Regards, Sieghard From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Morné van der Merwe Sent: Friday, February 22, 2013 11:49 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Moving selected messages from my inbox Hello list, I have an iPad 3. When I want to move messages from my inbox to the bin, I do it one by one. Is there a way to select for example four messages and move them together to the bin in stead of one by one?
