How to Delete Multiple Emails at Once on the iPhone

Lost in the hype of the new iPhone 3G and avalanche of new apps is a basic feature upgrade to iPhone’s email app: the ability to delete multiple emails at the same time. This one was a long time coming.

So how do you do it? While viewing your Inbox or any other email folder, just tap the Edit button in the top right corner of the screen.

Deleting Multiple Emails With the iPhone

Next, you’ll see small circles appear on the left of each email. Tap any emails you want to delete, the circles will fill in with red. Then, hit the delete button on the bottom left corner.

Delete iPhone 3G Email Messages Multiple

Hold on a second though, like most email clients, your email hasn’t been truly deleted. They’ve been sent to the Trash folder. To truly delete them, you can navigate to the Trash folder, then select Delete All. If you don’t do this, the iPhone will automatically delete the emails after a period of time. The default setting is one week, but you can change that in the iPhone’s Settings. In Settings, navigate to the mail settings, then the email account you want to change.  Select the Advanced tab, and you’ll see Deleted Messages in the middle of the page. Select your deletion frequency, and you’re all set.

The Remote app basically let’s you browse through the Apple TV’s content like it was content on your iPhone. Check out the video below.


Enigmo: The First Must-Have Native iPhone Game?

Enigmo Native iPhone Game

Enigmo was originally a well-reviewed puzzle game only available on your Mac or PC. But it’s been ported over to the iPhone with a special user interface for the iPhone. Enigmo is a 3D puzzle game where you manipulate slides, bumpers, and other objects in order to direct drops of water, lava, and other liquids toward a target. See video below of gameplay demonstrated at WWDC 2008.  Enigmo was given an WWDC award by Apple for Best iPhone Game.

This will be the first game I am purchasing for the iPhone 2.0 software, mainly because of the solid reviews and the fact that is a puzzle game with the ability to save your progress. I have reservations about using a touchscreen and accelerometers for other types of games, but at the same time, I recognize the ingenuity of game developers to create incredible games. Expect many reviews here soon.
