WM5 to WM6

Hi all

I've moved from an XDA Mini S to an XDA Stellar

Whilst overall I'm happy with the device one thing that really gets be is
that most places WM5 had "New" WM6 seems to have "Delete" ! .... I create
new things more often than I delete old ones. Is there anyway this can be
changed ? It's VERY anoying on the Inbox application especially !

Thanks in advance

Andrew

That has to be the biggest complaint we see here about WM6 from folks who
upgrade! Smile

Unfortunately I know of no way to change it, that anyone's ever come up with.

I must be the oly person who liked that change. Since I use IMAP and
deletions from the device sync with my server, I delete a lot of e-mail
from my device and then don't have to see it again on my desktop!

Generally when I compose e-mail on the device, it's typically replying to
another e-mail, so I rarely use "New."

Sorry for the bad news...

Well, a WM5 bug often prevented the deleting of e-mail on the device to also
delete it on the server. Maybe they were so proud of themselves when they
fixed it on WM6, they decided to dedicate a softkey to it to show it off!

Actually they sync directly with Exchange server as a native client.

I, BTW, am another you welcomed the delete. Like Todd, I do that a lot more
than New.
