Please... how can I delete that stupid VIP mailbox that was forced onto my phone with the new software of IO6?
iPhone 4S, iOS 6
It's a "smart mailbox". Not a physical mailbox. Just ignore it. No one is forcing you to use it or even look at it.
If it shows up on my mailbox options when I open my email, then I am forced to see it with a big star. I have had several friends comment on what a bother it is to have it, and worse...it is called VIP...like anyone would label an inbox VIP. Next, we will be forced to have something on the phone on the page one of our apps that says VIP apps.
Oh for cryin out loud... get over it.
What got up your skirt, Tim? This thread is for people who are interested in finding out if there is a way of removing something they don't need. If you don't have any solution to offer, you don't belong in the discussion.
You can't get rid of it, but I never see it because I leave my mail scrolled down to "Accounts" and never use the Inbox feature anyway. There's also no way to get rid of the "Flagged" mailbox or the All Inboxes either.
Throw your phone into a blast furnace, that'll get rid of it & your phone.
You can't delete it. It's not a "real" mailbox. I thought that was pretty clear. What's the purpose in your piping in over 2 months after the fact. I notice you didn't bother to actually contribute anything of worth to the conversation.
In fact, since this is the ONLY post you've ever made on these forums, I'd say you've never contributed anything of value at all here and are probably no more than a troll.
Due to your abusive tone, I'd say you're the troll. You're not required to respond to these posts, or even read them for that matter, so why don't you quit whining about other people's inquiries and move on?
Feedback to Apple, via the link Leann provided, is the best response there is for this issue. I sent in a request for the option to hide this mailbox, as well as apps such as News Stand and Game Center that I prefer not to have taking up space on my screen. I'm not holding my breath, but taking the time to send in constructive feedback is about as much as you can do.
I had started all this with a question back in September. Thanks for the follow up. I have learned to live with the big VIP that simply takes up space on my phone. Oh well, the darn first world problems we have...
On another fun note, my movie recommendation of the week is Flight. I liked it, but I only add that so I can add something positive after starting all this with a negative frustrated venting.
🙂
I agree about Flight; great movie. I've also recently seen "Lincoln" and "Anna Karenina", and can recommend both.
