Adding and removing Email folder favorites 5
By default, webOS adds the Inbox of each email account to the "Favorites" section at the top of your main account/folder view in the Email app. However, did you realize that you are able to remove any of those inboxes, as well as add any other folder from any of your accounts? In order to do this, you just need to tap the star next to the desired folder name that you want to add or remove from your favorites.
For example, in the attached screenshot, if you wanted to remove the Yahoo Inbox from the Favorites section, you would just tap the gold star (
) on the right of Inbox row (under the Yahoo section, not in the Favorites section, as there is no star there for you to toggle) and it would turn to a gray star (
). Or, if you wanted to add the "Outbox" to your favorites, just tap on the gray star and it will turn gold and the folder will then appear in the favorites section.
The listing of the Favorites will first be sorted by the order of your email accounts (e.g. all Yahoo folders first, then all Gmail folders), then will be sorted with the Inbox first, Outbox last, and all other folders listed alphabetically.

That's a great tip, I could really use that.
p.s. First.
Unless I'm mistaken, even though a folder is selected as a "favorite", it is not automatically checked for mail (except for the default inboxes, of course). You must check for mail manually.
Correct. One of the biggest problems with the mail app that should have been addressed long ago. This behavior forces me to forward to another account just so I don't miss anything on my pre. Lame.
I'm with you. I like to organize things into folders, and it does seem lame it can't check those folders.
I have selected accts that automatically get mail when it arrives, and others that require a manual request. Don't recall the exact settings, but it works on my VZ Pre Plus.
