no reply at all
Another complaint about the default email program. I have a third-party email provider that I access via the non-Gmail email program on Android. The fact that there are two separate email programs in Android is weird, to say the least — if Microsoft had one mobile email program for Hotmail that was supercharged, and another one for all other mail, well, it’d be a big story. Here, with Google, I guess it’s just odd.
Anyhow, if I reply to an email from my phone, there are four problems:
1., the interace on the phone doesn’t register the email I replied to as having been replied to;
2., the fact that the email I replied to has been replied to isn’t registered back via IMAP, so when I get back home, or check via webmail, there’s no evidence;
3., the default non-Gmail email program doesn’t have a function to move an email to another folder, so I can’t get the email out of my way, which means I have to either delete it or remember I replied to it, which is fine on a day-to-day basis, but not on long trips;
4., at least in Thunderbird, when the sent email does appear in the Sent folder, it appears as “unread.”
Four hassles.
