We don't have a tablet view. Two reasons: + jquerymobile does not natively support a separate tablet view. There is talk of supporting this in the future, but it is not there yet. I guess I can look forward to this, but by the sounds of if making minimal changes to the Dyanmic view would satisfy the bulk of my wishlist. - access to my virtual folders (the single most important to me) This cannot be done at this time without a substantial increase in ... ... - access to full search functions This will not be added. OK, this again points me to just using the Dynamic view for everything I also quite like the full interface on my mobile (in general I detest mobile-specific interfaces), and the only thing it really needs is a different implementation of the email list to handle a paged view as per the mobile version. I assume you mean the dynamic view? There will never be a paged UI for this view. Any chance of just getting a scrolling view that plays well with Android? It's currently usable but clunky. Specifically: - the scroll-bar itself is very narrow (hard to click) - the thumb does not seem dragable From my PoV the ideal solution would be: - thumb active and dragable OR sroll by dragging list - scroll-bar wider Despite these problems the dynamic view is the most useful to my on my current mobile and tablet. Making these (seemingly(!?) minor) changes would really make it perfect (for me).

The smartmobile interface is very limited. If some of these limitations could be lifted, at least based on user preference, it would be a great improvement. Items I would like to see on my tablet We don't have a tablet view. Two reasons: + jquerymobile does not natively support a separate tablet view. There is talk of supporting this in the future, but it is not there yet. + This is a substantial addition and would likely require a company to sponsor the development. Not going to keep a ticket open for this feature alone. - access to my virtual folders (the single most important to me) This cannot be done at this time without a substantial increase in the code size. ~~Bug #10719~~ needs to be fixed before this is done. And there are other UI issues also that are not easily solvable given the current jquerymobile code. - access to full search functions This will not be added. smartmobile is meant to be a quick way of accessing your mailbox. It is not meant to be a full-featured mail client. I also quite like the full interface on my mobile (in general I detest mobile-specific interfaces), and the only thing it really needs is a different implementation of the email list to handle a paged view as per the mobile version. I assume you mean the dynamic view? There will never be a paged UI for this view.

The smartmobile interface is very limited. If some of these limitations could be lifted, at least based on user preference, it would be a great improvement. Items I would like to see on my tablet (and phone): - access to my virtual folders (the single most important to me) - access to full search functions I also quite like the full interface on my mobile (in general I detest mobile-specific interfaces), and the only thing it really needs is a different implementation of the email list to handle a paged view as per the mobile version. The scrollbar is hard to use and the message pane is not much use either on a small screen; removing the message pane and changing the list would make a great mobile version. Futher to this: perhaps just a user-preference for what appears in each 'view' of the interface.
