new UI on iPhone

THANK YOU for the new UI on the iPhone it rocks (compared to the old one) -- just one suggestion:
Can you implement a button at the very top of the screen that jumps you down to the search box/folder list? This could be as simple as inserting a #tag there. (or even not a visible link, just an anchor I can add to the end of the URL then save as a shortcut on my phone) - problem is I use tons of folders all the time, and I usually have my pages set to display 100 or 500 messages, so it's a huge scroll just to get to a folder.

Should be an easy thing to change/offer. What do you think?

<M>

PS should this be in feature requests? If so, can you move it there?

If you can find any way to insert a '#' (I can't see it anywhere on the keyboard for URL input) then simply adding #search to the end of the url will take you straight to the search box.

Cheers,

Neil

Thanks!

Thanks, that works great. (the # is available once you click the punctuation key, then hit shift). Then use the + button at the bottom to 'Add to Home Screen' and it makes a little icon that gets you right there... perfect now I can actually find emails and such from my iPhone - will work well in concert with the iPhone mail app, which is faster and easier to compose with.

It is likely to sound like a dumb question but how do you access this interface?

I could not find anything on the wiki

Thanks.

Despite being too large for my Nokia e65 screen, this interface looks quite nice. I guess I will have to think about buying a phone with a larger screen next time

The new (beta) interface also looks good on the default browser in WM6 (Windows Mobile 6) on my HTC Mogul smartphone.

Thumbs down Not so good on Symbian

Was essentially unusable on my Nokia N95 - think I'll be sticking with IMAP for mobile usage.
