iPhone THE MISSING MANUAL - Cdn.oreilly.com

desktop email program, you may get stressed about having to do that one
message at a time.
Instead, you may just want to get used to letting new messages push the
old ones off the screen. In SettingsÆMailÆShow, you can specify how many
messages you want to appear in the list before scrolling off the screen: 25, 50,
200, whatever.
It’s only a false sense of being on top of things—you can always tap the “Load
25 More Messages” button to retrieve the next batch—but at least you’ll never
have a 2,000-message Inbox.
Spotting Worthwhile Messages
The iPhone can display a little j or k logo on each piece of mail in your
Inbox. At a glance, it helps you identify which messages are actually intended
for you. Messages without those logos are probably spam, newsletters, mailing
lists, or other messages that weren’t specifically addressed to you as a
human being, and probably don’t deserve your immediate attention.
To turn on these little badges, visit SettingsÆMail, and turn on “Show To/CC
Label.” There’s virtually no downside to using this feature.
