The new features keep pouring in as Scott Forestall, the man behind iOS, announces update after update in the new iDevice software. While we knew that a new notifications system and other revamps were coming, not much was said about the iOS Mail app.

There wasn’t really anything wrong with the previous version of the iOS Mail app, but it did leave a couple of things to be desired. Apple must’ve gotten wind of jailbreak tweaks like Rich Text for Mail, because they just included it and other features in iOS 5… Read More

Best of all, it adds all these customization tools to the stock iPhone Mail app… Read More

 

DeleteMail Tweak Makes Clearing out Your Inbox Easy

by Cody on May 7, 2011

The iOS Mail app is fairly straightforward. It houses all the basic functions of a standard email client, along with some nifty Exchange options. However, there is certainly room for improvement.

One of the main features missing is the ability to delete multiple emails quickly. If you have 1 or more inboxes that sees 100+ emails daily, you know what a pain it is to go through and select each message one at a time to delete them. Luckily, Cydia now has a tweak for that… Read More
