Dear all, first of all thanks for your support.

Please don’t hit me but I am currently a BlackBerry user, since this is the standard I got from the company I work for.

That said, new server technologies allows now to use also other devices with the same company server, something that gives me the chance to switch to an iPhone.

Basically it’s all ready for the switch, but just one thing holds me from making the step.

It’s the email messages filing procedure.

With the iPhone, assuming I am not missing something (something that I hope), when you want to file an email in one of your folders you select the “file” function and then you scroll with your finger across the folders list you have in your email account.

This is all right if you have an handful of folders, but if you have hundreds, if not thousands, of folders it will take forever to find the one you’re looking for.

With a BlackBerry, once you selected the email messages you’d like to file, and after you selected the “file” function, you can also scroll, but – very important for me – I can also start typing the initial letters of the folder I’m looking for. The more I type the less folders will appear, as less folders will match with letters I typed. Once the list is short enough to easily see the folder you want (usually after you typed two or three letters, which takes no more than a second), you can pick the folder you wanted in a blink of an eye.

This makes email messages filing a very fast operation, and since I use this for my job I can’t live without email filing.

If someone of you knows how to perform the same with an iPhone, and possibly with the original apple mail software, I will very glad to make the switch.

Thanks to all that will offer their support.

Regards.
