[Despina Delanu]

Any chance to implement "swipe to delete" or "swipe to archive"? rly:

Looks Great....`1 question.......when i delete an email on this app, will it be able to delete from the server as well?I use GMAIL
THANKSATOOMUCH!

Definitely! Every action performed within the app is synced with the server.

I have been thinking about this, but it is not clear how to implement it, given the fact that the app also uses a pivot control (the swipe gestures would conflict). One alternative I've been considering is providing a quick action menu on double-tap. Expect more news on this soon.

It says I have not the privilege to download the beta.
I am running gdr3 developpers preview.
Is that the problem?

GDR3 shouldn't be a problem. As announced on the mailing list, please make sure to email me the address you use on the Windows Phone store, so I can grant you download access. If you sent your email today, give it a couple of more hours, and try downloading again. If the problem persists after that, please let me know.

What about using one tap to go from inbox to unread, to flagged? In this way you are free to use gestures on any single mail

Awesome! using the app for a day or so now, so far so good.
The feature that I miss the most is when typing on the address, wish it can auto-complete with Gmail and hotmail contacts/history.
Also saving as drafts and signatures option are also much needed

Also it seems like when I do searches it only search it till somewhere around August. Would be nice if it can keep searching for mails from all time.

Thanks for the feedback; it is greatly appreciated! Regarding your first post, you may want to keep an eye out for more updates by Monday night (fingers crossed); version 1.0.3 just went live now. Regarding the search issue, that seems to be a bug, but I'll need to look more into it. Also, if you don't mind, please use this in the future for posting feedback: Idea Informer ? Feedback 2.0. It would be great if I can keep everything in one place.

Hopefully this is not too annoying, but I'm not sure I understand. A single tap on a message, opens that message. Scrolling left or right, causes the pivot control to move to a new page. Both of these are similar to the native email client. Removing the pivot control (thus freeing up the left/right gestures) is a possibility, but I'm not sure how happy the WP crowd would be with that, given how extensively this is used in apps.

Cool! Thanks for the tip, I'll keep comments coming (if any) on the forum. Really look forward to having this replacing the native mail app.

P.S. just downloaded the 1.0.3 version btw

The behaviour i'm trying to explain is already implemented in Sparrow, take a look at this video at 2.02

App is working pretty perfectly for me so far, as far as sending/receiving emails and sorting through the various labels. I haven't had a chance to mess around with handling attachments yet (I have version 1.0.3 atm), but I am hoping to see the ability to actually include them myself when composing a new email. I hope to see the live tile issue worked out soon, too, since it's kinda annoying that I can't get rid of the perpetual 99 on the icon. Apparently, that's coming eventually though, right? I read as much in the update email, I think.

Otherwise, it's excellent! I also can't wait to be able to fully replace the native mail app with this when possible, haha.

I really want to be part of this beta. I sent you a pm with my live ID. I get tired of having to refresh my Gmail. I want push!

 

[apoelin]

We will be launching push notifications this week and need as many people as possible for testing. Up you go!

 

[Ultimateone]

Definitely waiting for the push notifs

 

[RodimusMajor]

Awesome! Can't wait to see push up and running soon.

 

[diegosmarines]

This looks gooooood!!!

Been playing around with this for a few minutes, and noticed thatthe keyboard behaves a tad strangely within the message body.
I started typing "Thanks", but finished by selecting "Thanks" from the suggestions. The result was "TThanks".

Haven't seen this in other applications.

(oh, and I'm using 0.1.7)

 

[RodimusMajor]

I got an email saying that push notifications were ready, but I couldn't find the update on the store when I followed the link from the old emails. Is it not up yet or something?
