iPhone single inbox?


Dear Cupertino,

I love my iPhone. I love my Mail, I love my MobileMe (yes, I said that). However, I have 3 different email accounts on my iPhone that I have to check consistently. So here's my request. Please make a single Inbox. One Inbox for all accounts, just like in Mail.app so I can read and respond to all email all at once without having to constantly switch between email accounts on the iPhone.

You know, this is a short one, but a good one, and I'd like to see it just to save some time. That's be great.

Thanks!

Make it a Smart Mailbox that sync from Mail, so you an have them at multiple levels doing multiple things.

Hallelujah! I've just gone from a Blackberry to an iPhone and have been really frustrated by the iPhone's mail layout, and having to click balck and back and in and out to view mail in my 5 email accounts.

The layout reminds me of the old Palm Pilots, circal about 2002.

We need to be able to click on the Mail icon and simply see the In Box, with all mail from all accounts listed there.

We shouldn't even have to click "In Box" when we go into mail - that's another supurfluous click.

And while I'm ranting -
why can't I have normal text messaging - why do I have to view everything in those stupid bubbles?

Sometimes, apple, you can be to cutesy-pie and simply get annoying.

I agree. I just purchased an iPhone after many years with a blackberry. The iPhone is an amazing Internet device, but it lacks as a messaging device. While I don't think it will ever compare to a blackberry as a messaging device, it can be improved a great deal if there was a single inbox for your email. I am about to return this device and switch back to the blackberry. The new bold is out and it is amazing. However, I can live with the iPhone if I didn't have to go through 15 steps to check all of my email. Please apple, do it quickly. Every other device out there has a single email inbox!!!!!!!!

100% agreed. why do i have to remember which email address that person happened to mail to sending me back and forth between inboxes? and while youre at redoing mail on the iphone, ever heard of something called "search"? or at least sort by subject, sent by, size etc?
