Goddamnit, how do I turn that unified inbox shit in iOS 4 off?

10:45AM Tue, July 06 2010

If you find it, please let me know. Driving me nuts.

click back to individual mailboxes?

11:01AM Tue, July 06 2010

it keeps defaulting to that view, which is the part I hate

11:03AM Tue, July 06 2010

The other inboxes are still there, visit them instead of the unified one. Then go back to your porch and wave your fist at kids. ;-)

11:07AM Tue, July 06 2010

it's not an "I hate new stuff" thing, it's an "I use folders & server rules & don't leave all mail in the Inbox" thing.

11:11AM Tue, July 06 2010

As much as I love unified inbox, I see the disdain others have for it. Apple’s implementation is the same as in Mail.app, FWIW.

11:32AM Tue, July 06 2010

yeah, but it's easier to ignore in Mail. Although that is one of many reasons I dislike Mail

In iOS4 you can simply open each account's inbox like you did before & not go into that unified inbox, can't you?

12:02PM Tue, July 06 2010

the problem is, it keeps defaulting to that stupid unified/inbox only view, which adds a lot of steps to things outside of the inbox.

12:10PM Tue, July 06 2010

You can just go to the individual mailbox instead of the unified one.

12:13PM Tue, July 06 2010

ugh...of course there's no setting for it.

12:14PM Tue, July 06 2010

the problem is, iOS 4 loves to make that unified thing the default view. So lots of extra taps

12:19PM Tue, July 06 2010

I notice that too. You would think you could stop that.

12:22PM Tue, July 06 2010

I was about to point you to the off switch, but it appears to have been removed for the final release. I love it, though.

12:25PM Tue, July 06 2010

You can't. Just don't use it.

1:23PM Tue, July 06 2010

just curious. What's so aggravating about the unified inbox?

2:41PM Tue, July 06 2010

unlike many, I've been using IMAP, server rules and folders for over a decade. My inbox is my LEAST important email

2:55PM Tue, July 06 2010

just go up to the account level and ignore the unified box.
