Those Wacky Dudes at Apple

Leave it to the wacky dudes at Apple to grab you by the ……… and not let go.

I recently received an e-mail from Apple touting their iPad as the great Father’s day present to purchase. I was accessing the e-mail from my iPhone and after reading I decided to delete the message….thats when the wackiness started. The only option on the iPhone was to cancel or archive the massage. At first I thought I pressed the wrong button and so I tried again a couple of times and sure enough the option to delete the message was not available on the iPhone.

There definitely is a dark side to that shiny Apple logo, Sidd.

Like the fact that up until a few weeks ago, Apple could have found your exact location through your iPhone and tapped into all of your browsing and call history.

Would that be then Big Apple? In the old days it was Big Brother.

It wasn't a Gmail account by chance was it Sidd? That's the standard way Gmail works.

No this was a yahoo account. Apple's products are cool enough that they do not need to do this to an e-mail.

Not to beat it to death, but Yahoo is now touting the same thing as Gmail. They claim unlimited space for archiving, saying you can store your messages, photos and videos forever. I know that with Gmail the default is to archive everything. Then if you want to specifically delete from the archive you can take the extra step to do so. So I'd ask again, are you sure?

It's not Apple, it's the email client software. I use gmail. The interface is different on my iPhone, iPad, and PC. On the iPad I can only archive, and don't have access to the archive folder (at least I haven't found it). On the iPhone, after I archive I can go to a folder and delete those messages. On my PC I can delete.
