The swipe to delete gesture is one of the most often used on the iPhone, but sometimes swiping to delete many emails can take time. With iPhone 2.0 Apple expanded Mail's "Edit" button to allow selection of multiple emails for deletion. You can also use this multiple selection mode to move emails to a specific folder. Just hit the "Edit" button! It's a basic feature, but it's one that everyone can use.

Hah. I totally forgot that was there.

While on vacation I was using the iPhone to check my main account (which I don't usually do on the phone). I did the swipe to delete on a few of the spam messages but I probably did it poorly & it opened the message instead. Not good. Using this tip (had I remembered) would have prevented me from acknowledging to the spammers that they have a live email account and would have been quicker.
