Multi-Select in stock mail app

[mihalich]

OK, two questions about the stock email app:

1) Has anyone figure out how to select all messags in a folder to delete them. It seems all you can do is check each one, one at a time, to get them all selected, then click delete.

2) Is there anyway to permanently delete the messages instead of them going to the trash? if not, is there a way to just say "empty trash" rather than having to again check everything and delete them?

If the answer is, 'there is no way to do this" for both questions, does anyone know of a much better email app than the stock one?

Thanks,
Joe

i have so many gripes with the stock email app. everything else rocks on this phone, but the email app seems to have been designed by someone who's never used email before but gave it his best shot despite his alcohol addiction and a severe case of schizophrenia. haven't these people ever seen winmo, or palm os, or symbian, or a blackberry? every other smartphone seems to have the email thing figured out. hell, the email is pretty much the only thing that works properly in winmo. ...i mean what is with the "loading..." thing? why can you only see 100 messages at a time? why does it occasionally just loose your old messages only to bring them back marked as unread? why can you attach images or files associated with an app, but not any other type of file? why can't you create folders? why can't you move email from trash back to inbox? for that matter, why can't you empty the trash? i can keep going, but i think i'm gonna go have a drink instead.

i agree, the e-mail support on this thing is not good and needs some huge improvements if it ever wants to compete in the business world. Exchange suport for this is a big fail.

e-mails support, being ugly and the physical keyboard are the only things i dont like about the droid.

I can look past the ugliness and look at the internal beauty on the phone and the e-mail support will get better over time.

to bad there is no fix for the physical keyboard i force myself to use it to try to get better with it but i can't.

Could you imagine this phone with good e-mail support like a winmo phone and a keyboard comparible to the TP2?

i've actually managed to get used to the keyboard. there's a way to hold it that makes it easier to reach across the nav pad. i can't really explain it. anyway, i'm done being frustrated with it, but it took some time. the email thing is really getting to me though. i've been using k-9 mail, which is a mild improvement over the built-in client, but just barely. i don't understand why anyone bothered to write an alternative to the mail client only to end up with something essentially the same only slightly more functional. i want someone from the winmo scene to come over to android and write an outlook clone.
