Q: Box with a downward facing arrow in mail (iPad)?
Hello everybody,
Can someone please tell me what the box with a downward facing arrow is for that can be seen in mail on iPad in the top right menu? I've used it but don't know where the emails are being moved to.
I have the latest iPad (Retina display) if that helps in any way.
Thanks and Krgds,
Lennart

The icon of a folder with the downward pointing arrow is for moving an email into a different email folder - and you should be able to chose which folder to move the email to when you tap on the icon.
If it's a gmail account then you may have an icon of an arrow and a box that allows you to move (or archive) emails into your 'all emails' folders - that icon will appear instead of a trashcan for deleting email, but you can chose which you have in the account's settings (archive or delete) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4207
There is some more info on archiving here : http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=6576
