Help E-mail, always start in "All messages"

Hi

When I tap the e-mail ikon on my phone it start up in a my last used e-mail account (I have 5 different accounts). This is fine, but why does it show "All messages" (inbox, deleted, sent etc.) as default. This is very annoying if you i.e. delete an e-mail it just shows upagain in the list, but is actually in deleted items.

Can I change it so when ever I go to e-mail I only see Inbox!?

Thanks - Carsten
 
In 'Mail by HTC', press the down arrow in the top left of the app to select the account you want to change. Then Menu > Folders > select which folder you want to see as the default.
 
Hi

Thanks for your answer! I'm not quite sure which application you think,I'm just using the standard E-mail icon on my middle home screen and the arrow here is placed in the top right hand corner, not the left corner!?

Using what you said, is what I've done since updating to the latest Android, but sometimes it's shift back to showing all folders!?

On the one I used, the down arrow is top left (Sense 2.3). Perhaps the layout and settings options have changed with the latest version (Sense 3.0).

A 'soft reset' might reset the HTC email settings in cache, after which you can try changing the setting again.

Power off phone > remove battery for 30 seconds > replace and power on.
