iPhone 101: Jumping to the top of your mail

Mobile Safari has always had a handy feature that i wished Mobile Mail would acquire. Apple must have read my mind, because it's now available.

If you're unlucky enough to receive lots of email, you can quickly jump to the top of the list by touching the menu bar (where the time is displayed) as of the iPhone 2.0 software. Ta-dah!

Remember, you can bulk delete mail with greater ease now, too. Both of these improvements are welcome, but it would be even better to be able to mark all messages as read (or unread) just as easily.

It would be great if, in this iPhone 101 series, you would address an issue I've come across- namely if you have more than one account, it's a real pain to look at each inbox. You have to basically go back, back, back, next account, inbox and repeat for each account.

I hope someone comes up with a handy fix for this.

Wow, I'm surprised so many people like the jump to top feature of safari. I absolutely hate it and thought maybe I'm not allow. Why do I hate it you ask. Well, say I'm browsing through a website and go oh, I'd like to search for more information. When I press the top, Safari goes to the top and I no longer can see what it was that I want to search for. Like the name of a person or some tech equipment. I've never liked it and wish I could turn it off. Now, that's not to say I will not like it in mail, but we will have to wait an see.
