Q: IPad Air, Mail, I want incoming e-mails to be displayed as previews that I must click to open. I do not want the already opened e-mail view on the left of my mailboxes. Lu

I know how to delete an e-mail. That is not my question. On my Mac and iphone my email view is of preview of e-mails that I then click to open If I want to read them. I want the same mail view on my I-pad. So that I can delete possible spam mail without opening the e-mail. How do I change the view settings for my mail on my I-pad?

MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2009), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

    Sorry, you can't. The default mail app always has a mail open. The only way around it is to always have an older mail selected so that it's open, not the newer ones.

     

    or look for another app. I'm afraid that I have no recommendation to make.
