Are you aware that the iOS mail app has a "Messages" rotor item? When you open a message in a thread make sure the rotor is set to Messages, then flick up or down with one finger and Voiceover announces if you are on message 1 of 5, 2 of 5 etc (that is of course assuming there are 5 messages in the thread). You can set it in Mail settings so either the newest message is Message 1 or the oldest. I really like how Apple has done this, at the beginning of each message Voiceover reads who the message is from and the date/time I think, but not the entire header. You can also flick down when you are on a thread before you double tap on it to "expand thread", double tap it and the thread will expand and you can then flick right through all the messages. If you want to delete an individual message in a thread but not the entire thread this is also the way to do this. If you are on the first message in the thread you can flick down again and find the "collapse thread" option. Outlook is considered to be an excellent mail client for the iPhone, but I must say that I prefer the native mail app and really like its features.

I am especially inerested in what works best for threading. The mail client that comes with the iPhone makes it too easy to miss messages, because when I read a threaded conversation, I often end up trying to read the messages in order, however pressing next does not aways begin reading the next message, and exploring on screen sometimes puts me in another message rather than the one I intended to read. I tried Outlook, however messages are placed most recent first, and it becomes more difficult to read a thread in order in which messages are sent. It also did not seem to have a way of jumping quickly to the next message in a thread, so a message with signatures could take too much time to read. I could not find a way to re-sort messages. Finally, I tried Inbox, which was my client of choice on Android. It is my favorite by far, because messages are sorted the way I like them to be, signatures do not appear unless expanded, reading the first few lines of a message actually works, etc etc but threading experiences the same issue as with the apple mail client where messages are not easily read, and sometimes skipped because there does not seem to be a reliable way of jumping to the content of the next message in a thread. Are other users experiencing these behaviors? I do enjoy using threading, and I hope that a better email client exists. If I am missing a setting that can help, please let me know. Please excuse any errors, I am typing this using the braille input on a bus.@Sent from my iPhone -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
