Universal Inbox and One Button Access to Inbox
 

Hey Guys,

I am coming from a blackberry.... And while i really enjoy the n900 i am looking for something a little more easily accessible for email... On a Mobile internet device i really shouldn't have to go through 5-6 button presses to get to my inbox.... Email, Internet and Phone hold sacred places in MID/phone devices; should be extremely easy to access....

I also have multiple email accounts (at minimum personal and business) i dont want to have to look at each inbox separate... The client should allow me to view both email accounts from one inbox and when i reply it should know which email account to reply from....


Is there a way to enable universal inbox and one button access for email?

Edit: Could Shortcutd add a feature to enable inbox access via the camera button or something? BTW, I am talking directly to email not the screen that allows me to choose which inbox to go to....

Thanks!

FWIW, the Droid has that built into its native email client (combined inbox view)...it has issues, but works out of the box like you want it to.

Yeah, but i kind of have an n900 and would like to keep it :-) Lots of devices have that functionality; BB, droid, to name a few....

Hence the reason I wrote, "FWIW". Your wait continues.

Couldnt you just set gmail to go off and consolidate the mailboxes?

By the way I think the idea of one mailbox is truly horrible. I like to keep my work my work and everything else everything else.... To much scope for accidentally sending the wrong thing to the wrong person if I mix them.

It wouldn't import any Exchange (work) mail.

I think you may have missed the part where i said that it would know what account the mail came from and respond from that account (or give you the option to respond from other accts, but default account would be the account that received the mail...

I use the universal inbox on the BB and have never had a single instance of sending the wrong thing to the wrong person, bc you can see who sent you the email, what account it came from and everything else... I dont see how you would send the wrong email to the wrong folks...

BTW, i am proposing it as an option... You could just as easily turn it off, i would turn it on and use it, while you would have the option to keep it at default multiple inbox....

Agree with need for shortcuts (on the desktop, from within any given inbox) to a particular inbox. It takes way too many clicks to get to an inbox or, especially, to change between inboxes.

Gmail "tags" each message, for the "Inbox view" based on account. I'm not sure if this is done on the server or on the client side, but again, the Droid's app functions this way.

It wouldn't take long to setup on gmail (web account settings), and test with the 900.
