Email and Messaging

You can email several iPhone photos to a recipient's email address at once. Follow these steps to email multiple pictures in one message:

1. Navigate to the Photos app.
2. Select the Camera Roll or look at a specific album.
3. While viewing the album, touch the icon in the lower left corner of the screen (the white box with a curved arrow).
4. Select the photos you wish to email. Each selected photo will appear white with a red checkmark in the corner.
5. Touch the Share button in the bottom left corner of the screen.
6. Choose the Email button.

You'll notice that Apple added a group messaging setting to iPhones starting with iOS 4.0. The option is off by default. To turn on group messaging:

Navigate to Settings -> Messages -> Group Messaging -> ON. Group messaging takes advantage of the MMS (multimedia messaging service) features of the iPhone. In order to turn on group messaging MMS Messaging must also be ON.

Sometimes iPhone Mail running on iOS 4 has the nasty habit of displaying blank email messages or loading empty message previews in the Inbox. This problem is easily fixed.

1. By default your message previews should be enabled. To make sure they are on, touch Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Preview and select the number of preview lines desired.

2. If you're running iOS 4 on an iPhone 3G, reset by holding down the home and sleep buttons until the Apple logo comes up on the screen.

3. For iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS users, double-click the home button to bring up multitasking.

There's no simple way to reorganize the list of email accounts in the iPhone Mail app. As accounts are added the show up at the bottom of the list. To change the order your email accounts are listed in:

1. Make sure your iPhone is connected to the computer and iTunes is running.
2. Under DEVICES in the left menu of iTunes click on your iPhone.
3. Click the Info tab at the top of the screen.
4. Make sure the box next to "Sync Selected Mail Accounts" is checked.
5. Deselect all mail accounts except the account you want at the top of your list.
