With iOS 6 due to be showcased by Apple
on June 11th, we thought we would put some of our most wanted features
down for each of the stock apps. As I have to maintain more than 10
email addresses, I am going to start with the Mail.app.
Don’t get me wrong, over the years Apple
has vastly improved the Mail.app giving us a unified inbox and threaded
conversations, but it is far from feature rich.
Mark all as read
It still escapes me as to why this
feature still hasn’t been added to iOS, it isn’t a big ask, is it? Yes
we have a mark button as such but you still have to trawl through
selecting individual emails before you decide what you want to do with
them. This would get rid of one the biggest annoyances for me
personally, what about you?
Adding media to an email
Again this is one of those features
that, after 5 years, still hasn’t been implemented to it’s fullest
potential. It isn’t impossible to add a photo or video to an email, but
it requires you either copying the item before composing the email or
choosing to email the item from the Camera/Photos app. There is simply
no way to add in media on the fly, which is especially annoying if you
are replying to an email.
HTML Signatures
This isn’t impossible, I have already
proved that when I released SIGnify for jailbroken devices, and Apple
has made it possible to add portions of rich text formatting into emails
too. With the correct formatting it is easy to create a beautiful HTML
signature, so there is no reason why Apple can’t implement this, I doubt
there are any security risks by doing so. While they are at it, lets
have different signatures for different email addresses.
Having just these features added would
make me happy but I am sure that there are some of you wanting more. Why
not drop us a comment below and tell us what you want from the Mail.app
in iOS 6.
