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

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?

 

Regards

Morné
