Android-biased so maybe some iPhone users may chime in. But for me
the navigation inside smartphone is really page based, with a fixed
order and hierarchy of pages where you navigate from left to the
right, from broad to more detailed.
reasonable UI decision.
at least by all Android email apps that I know) is from
Applications, to Folders, to Mailbox, to Message.
I *could* be convinced to go directly to the Inbox when entering IMP
the first time, as long as this is the user's preference and the
back button (both top-left and browser button) still go back to the
folder list. Though that still feels like skipping some page, which
it actually is in this case.
any other email app in existence. Strict adherence to a bottom-up
approach doesn't appear to be appropriate.
And maybe I have configured things differently, but my android e-mail
app always opens directly to the INBOX (which is what I want). I'm
using K-9 mail, so maybe its different that the default app, but I
believe to access the folder list in the normal scope using the app
(e.g. opening and using the back button), you have to change the
default configuration. Otherwise, the only way to access the folder
list is to use an options menu.
Not to mention that this is exactly what we are doing in Kronolith.
It could be argued using the above UI logic that we should be showing
the week (or even the month) page first, and then have the user
navigate the hierarchy to reach the day page. But that is not the
expected behavior of a calendar program: I will always want to know
what my schedule looks like today so that should always be the first
page opened (which it is now).
top-left button, as this is the back button in JQM interface flow.
log out button too, I'm not sure where else to add the application
link.
catch-all options button next to the logout button (similar to the
options popup button as implemented in Ice Cream Sandwich), that will
popup either a link back to the applications page or the list of
applications themselves.
to admit that I only use the JQM interface for "one-shot" quick
access to single data objects, rather than browsing and productively
using all applications.
bouncing between apps. And since this is a strength of Horde in the
first place (multiple mature apps), it seems like something we should
continue to stress rather than minimize.
I primarily use Android apps, but occasionally iOS as well. I not sure
which Android apps Jan is referring to on Android, but all of the apps
I use go directly to the INBOX. I very rarely even use the folder
tree view.
I'd be in favor of, if not making it always go to INBOX, at least
provide that as a user option.
As far as the other menu links, I agree that we should NOT put the
Applications link in the top menu bar of every page. I could be
convinced to add a navigation bar at the bottom of the screen though.
Like Jan, I haven't really missed this as being an option though. I
tend to go to the mobile view for a very specific action, and don't
bounce around apps during the same session, though I can see a use
case for going back and forth from calendar to email.

Regarding the link to the application page, this should *not* be the
top-left button, as this is the back button in JQM interface flow.
Since we only have one always visible navigation bar and we need the
log out button too, I'm not sure where else to add the application
link. The action bar at the bottom doesn't make any sense to me
either. I personally haven't missed such a button yet either, though I
have to admit that I only use the JQM interface for "one-shot" quick
access to single data objects, rather than browsing and productively
using all applications.

this is probably not the desired behavior - especially since most
users instead elect to go to their INBOX by default when accessing
IMP's other views.
I suggest we make the INBOX page the default. I think we should have
a dedicated topnav button for Folders on the mailbox screen, and we
should have a dedicated topnav Applications button for ALL screens.
