I don't get that extra text in my edit box when I'm looking for the
keyboard input button, so maybe that's a phone specific thing. I do
agree though that the double tap to end the dictation on the iPhone is
nice. I just find it a bit more inconvenient on Android but not a show
stopper.
I do use threads when reading my email, and in this way I do definitely
like Aquamail. If I double tab the message, the thread is expanded in
line without taking me into a new screen. Again I can just double tap
the sleet button and select the entire thread to be deleted all at once
or just select the messages in the thread I want deleted. I find this
more efficient than having to go into the screen with just the messages
from the thread in it, work with those messages, and then go back into
the parent folder. Now that I think about it, Aquamail handles threads a
bit more like Thunderibrd, which is how I prefer to deal with my
threaded email.
As I'm working through my messages in Aquamail, I will sometimes delete
the selected messages as I'm going or wait until I'm done and delete
them all at once. I agree, a lot of what you prefer is how you like
working with your email, and I might have tweaked how I do things now
that I spend more time in Aquamail then I do in Apple's Mail app.

Well, I don't find it that easy to find the pause button. If I did, that would
solve one of my problems. Sometimes, while looking for the pause button,
because dictation imput has not stopped, I get extra junk in my message, which
I then have to get rid of. My problem with editing text has to do with Focus
jumping from the edit box to somewhere else. I agree that up-and-down on the
navigation granularity is nice. But The ease with which my edit box seems to
lose focus is a major issue. I don't know if you use threaded conversations or
not. I do. And I really appreciate being able to just go through mail, read
what I want and delete as I go, thread by thread. It sounds like you delete all
your stuff at the end of the email session. I don't always get through all of
my email in one session, if it is stacked up. I guess this is a matter of
style, since if you are selecting those selectors as you go, you could just
delete all the selected stuff before you quit the mail session. Different
routines for different people I guess. But the dictation thing is a real
showstopper for me as long as I can't edit efficiently and stop the dictation
efficiently. Anyway, I suppose this is off the original question. But it is an
interesting discussion.

When I saw this thread, I was a bit surprised since my first reaction was that
deleting a bunch of messages was a bit easier in Aquamail then it is in the IOS
Mail app, but after thinking about it further, I realized that it was about a
push. In IOS, Maybe I'm missing something in IOS though. I usually read down
through my in box and when I want to delete a message, I flick up and then
double tap to delete. In Aquamail, I flick right once, double tap the select
button and then move on. When I'm done, I delete all of the selected messages
with a double tap on the move to delete button at the top of the screen. This
feels like a push to me. While I'm reading a message, I just double tap the
delete button in either app and then the next message comes up.
I have to admit though that I think the Mail app on IOS is amazing. In my
opinion, the power and simplicity of it's interface is unparalleled. I spent a
long time in Android looking for something similar before settling on Typemail
and then Aquamail when the Typemail interface got a bit cluttered.
You're right about dictation, but I find Google does a better job with speech
recognition and punctuation. I also find it pretty easy to find and double tap
on the keyboard input button when I'm done dictating, but I agree, this isn't
as nice as the double tap.
I actually like editing text in Android over the iPhone now. This is mostly
because is so easy to switch granularity by flicking up or down as opposed to
using the roter in Apple. I don't have anything against the roter, but I tend
to have a lot of options in it, so sometimes it takes a few rotations to change
the granularity.

Hi Gordon,
I have heard there will be some changes in the upcoming version of the
stock mail app on iOS. It has been talked about in the mainstream
technical press. Hopefully, it isn't too awful. As for aqua mail, yes, I
have played with settings. I can certainly delete all of the messages in
my inbox quickly enough. But what I haven't found a way to do which I
can do on iOS, is to actually go through my mail and interact with it
efficiently, Reading messages and replying as I wish, and or deleting
threads I don't want to read with just one flick of my finger as I go.
Google dictation does seem to be fairly accurate. Perhaps it is a little
bit more accurate for me than Apple. But because I have such a hard time
correcting mistakes, which it certainly does make, I would rather have
Apple, even if it's a little bit less accurate, because I can fix it
easier. I have heard that Siri is going to get much better in the next
version. Whether that will carry over to dictation remains to be seen of
course. Have you tried the app that Kevin recommended on here a little
while back, inbox by Gmail I think was the name? It only works for
Google accounts. So if you have things other than Google, then it's not
good for you.

Hi!
@Sieghard; I was mentioning iOS meaning iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, it
would probably work on all iOS devices.
@Mary; I like the stock app very much but there's gonna be a large
turnaround in iOS 10 with its interface so I'm looking for
alternatives. I used Aquamail on some Android devices and I like its
options, features and tones of settings for fine tuning its operativity.
I agree Android approach to navigating and editing is harder to handle
than iOS but as you correctly said, it doesn't have to do anything
with the app itself. Regarding dictation, I'm getting far better
results with Google Speech Input or whatever is it called in English
than Siri Dictation, atleast for my native language.
I can manage multiple messages on both apps in pretty similar way so I
don't know did you played with Aquamail settins?
@Carol; glad you understand my needs xD.

I have never used aqua male with a keyboard. The other thing I prefer about
mail on iOS as opposed to android, and this really isn't specific to the mail
itself, has to do with dictation and interacting with editible text in general.
I like the fact that I can easily stop dictation in iOS. I like the fact that I
get a tone telling me that dictation has stopped. I don't get that with
android, except when doing Google voice searches. I also find it easier to get
around in the text and make corrections. I realize that this is not specific to
the mail client. And other people's experiences may differ. But that's my two
cents.

I would agree with you there, Mary. Because there are a couple of different methods
you can deal with email on the IOS device, though you can't select and delete all at
once and they have to go first to the delete bin, it's still more efficient and
doesn't take long just to empty the trash now and again! <Smiles>
It's one of those things where I really like doing email with the phone in my
hand as there's so little movement involved, as opposed to having a keyboard;
but I do keep the keyboard out in case I want to write a long message.

Hi Gordon,
I don't think there is anything quite like aqua mail for iOS. But I am curious
what you specifically like about it over what's available in the native iOS
mail client. I have aqua mail on an android device, and I don't like it,
principally because it's not as efficient to delete large quantities of mail. I
shouldn't say I don't like it. It's a fine client. It just doesn't let me go
through large volumes of mail as efficiently as the Apple client does. That's
why am curious why you like it.

Hi!
I was looking for Aquamail for iOS but there's no such thing.
Does anyone know about some similar and VO accessible client? I really like
Aquamail features and options and I'd like to have something like Aquamail for
iOS.
Thanks for your answers!
