While there is no doubt that a trash can is a useful feature, all too often I curse it when it’s filled with endless messages - those I do need to delete forever, and those I’d rather keep for a little longer (but I do not want to see in the inbox).
Wouldn’t it be great if one could delete some messages (sending them to the bin) and delete some other messages (and not sending them to the bin). And all of this with a selective swipe (or similar), and not by going through the hurdles of making changes to the settings pages each time.
PS: search seems to indicate, that such has not yet been requested
PPS: if there is alreacy a way to do this, please let me know
Not really. See, when you use an app /appli /application a lot, you do the same clicks and swipes over and over again. There is always a workaround, but it remains usually cumbersome. I would like to delete some mails immeditately - forever. And some I would like to trash (in the trash can) until I decide to clear the bin.
The swipe actions do not offer this possibility, even if you call the archive the trash bin (in your mind), or vice versa.
But when you say that two different swipe actions are too complicated or just a workaround - what would be the solution you have in mind which could be easier?
Very simple, a setting in the settings dialog (selective delete = no) so that most users don’t have to bother. But when set to yes, a dialog box is shown at each delete action with the options
I suppose you mean “feature request” by chances, and chances is a typo.
It’s ok if one person doesn’t like a proposal, but statements like “no-one else” are not only wrong by default, they are also sad exaggerations.
