Mail Folders no better in iOS4 :-(
Since getting the iPad I have struggled with the Mail app. The accounts I use have an extensive folder structure to store mail and on the Mac I can open and close (expand and collapse) these at will to navigate easily without cluttering up the left hand panel folder list display. If I could not collapse them it would be unusable since there are a LOT of folders and I'd be forever scrolling up and down the huge list.
But hey, guess what, Mail on the iPad is just like that. The folders are ALWAYS expanded and to get to some of them requires a ridiculous amount of swiping up and down. You cannot even use a scroll bar to go directly to a particular part of the list, just swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe and so on.
I have been eagerly awaiting iOS4.2 in the vain hope that Apple would have cured this massive oversight, but sadly I seem to be mistaken.
Ok, rant over, but can anyone tell me I am wrong and that you can indeed collapse and expand these folders at will? I'd love to be proved wrong and I CANNOT be alone in using a large structured storage for my email messages which makes iPad (and iPhone probably) Mail such a PIA to use.
