Hi Jeff, comments inline > When an email arrives and I click on the orange email notification it > goes directly to the email but trash is greyed out and I can't delete the > message after reading it. To delete the message I need to click > back|user|inbox|message to get back to the message, this time with the trash > not greyed out. This is tedious. Is there a faster way? I get tons of spam and > need a quick easy way to delete such. yeah I agree it's annoying, but there is a technical reason behind that. We're working in tinymail in order to get rid of that limitation. Hopefully we'll have good news soon. > What is the mountain landscape icon?

It should be active only when you have HTML emails with links to external images (tipically newsletters). > Also, I have all email forked to both my desktop and N900 (with procmail). > I usually read on my desktop and only read on my N900 when away from my > desktop.

The use case is still there though a little bit hidden. There is a system wide shortcut, "Ctr-a" that selects all the elements in a list. So all you have to do is perform that shortcut in the view were you select the messages to delete. If you ask me why there is no such an option available in the menu, it's because the idea in Fremantle is to have only 1 UI element for every action, so if you have one shortcut there shouldn't be a menu option. I know it's controversial but it was a design decission taken by lead designers of the UI. Some other actions are available only through shortcuts, such as copy/paste.
