iOS 13 Mail - Move Message To Junk Folder

In iOS 12 I could easily move a message in Mail to junk with a couple of taps.


In iOS 13 I now have to press the reply button on the bottom right of the screen, scroll down the options so that 'Move to Junk' is displayed, then tap again to move it.


Only an additional 'scroll' I know, but is there any way I can change settings to make this easier?

Had the same problem and just found out how to move message.

in an email you want to move to junk (or any other folder for that matter), just do a long press on the “reply” arrow. It will bring some options to you, including “move message”.

And if you have several hundred emails a day to classify, those extra taps add up. And I call bunk on the "no scrolling". If you're working from the message list you can swipe and tap twice, but if you need to look at the message body first, then it's tap, scroll, tap. (See earlier reference to several hundred emails a day -- especially near the end of a quarter.)


Further, in iPadOS, this functionality hasn't changed. There's a button to trash the message, a button to file the message to a learned folder, and it's all in the menu bar -- where iOS USED to have it. Had there been a real estate problem in the menu bar in Mail for iOS, I could give them benefit of the doubt. But there wasn't. There was no value add in this change -- the opposite in fact.

You're precisely correct James (at least on behalf of those of us who work on multiple email accounts, and have the need to maintain a retrievable paper trail). For those who mainly live through their Twitter and FB accounts, tweets and posts are just an endless stream floating by, with no expectation of filing. Retrieval is unnecessary, and virtually impossible anyway, and besides and new cute/funny/insightful post or tweet will be trending momentarily. Business is still email-driven for many of us, which is why we don't understand why a fast and efficient process for easily filing emails has been eliminated, for no apparent reason.
