I dont like the way Nokia Messaging works on the n900 really.
1. Open Email
2. Click on 'Nokia Messaging'
3. Click on Email Account
4. Click on Inbox
5. Click on message
Surely at least step 2 could be removed???
Kev
there is no step 2 in my n900
so its just
- tap email (on desktop shortcut)
- tap email account (in this case Gmail)
- tap inbox, will wait about 2 seconds if it recently updated, took longer (up to 5 seconds) if it hadn't been updated recently (also related to the connection speed)
- tap message (waiting time depends on email size and the connection speed if its a new email)
Have you used nokia messaging thou? I find it very important otherwise I get a TON of junk mail through, nokia messaging does seem to filter them well, I just dont see the point of having the 'Nokia Messaging' step.
If I set up gmail individually then i dont get the Nokia Messaging step but it doesn't have junk filters on.
i have a problem with emails on my N900 : each time i receive a mail, i have a first notification and sound, and a couple a second after another notification..... and if i click on the second notifications, it doesn't work, but the first does ...
It depends on how many messages there are. If there's one new message then you go straight to it, but if there's more than one then it just opens the mail client.
Correct, however, he said "If I click on the notification, I would expect it to bring me right to the message", implying one. Additionally, if there are two there's no more than the Inbox is the best anyone can take you lest you miss other emails.
Also, if you have multiple accounts, all it can do is open up messaging.
IMO it does the best it can already. Polling is good too, better than the GMail web client.
I only have one account and it's pretty sweet. If it weren't for the lack of search and advanced features (like archiving) I'd be happy. I'm still 90% covered though.
Also, if you have multiple accounts, all it can do is open up messaging.
I think your logic is faulty. It's certainly not "all it CAN do". The N900 could be programmed to do anything the developers want to - within what's logically possible of course.
It's just that they chose to "zoom in" on the shallowest level of where there's something unread when you click the card.
Half the time I find myself irritated by this and that's because I'm much more likely to want to read at least one mail than none at all, when I click the card.
I have eyes. If the card says "7 new mails", it would be perfectly OK to open the newest when I click the card, because I will have to read it anyway. I will certainly remember that I had 6 more unread mails 10 seconds later, when I'm done reading the newest one and since I usually read all my mail, it's just a waste of time not to take me to the actual newest message.
I guess it's a matter of opinion, but the way it works now is far from the only way it could. I would prefer it worked in a different manner.
Edit: Furthermore, the inconsistency in how clicking the yellow card works seems like a blatant disregard for "normal" user interface guidelines. A certain function should not "arbitrarily" work in different ways at different times. You wouldn't like it if somebody came into your house at night and moved your fridge to a different room each day. Not even if the mover was pretty closely aware of in what room the fridge would be needed the most on a specific day.
