Mobile app Sub folder notifications
You are so right, this is absolutely ludicrous. It has been over four years since this issue was brought up. How little can Microsoft care about its customers? lets make it six years! Businesses all over, people all over have requested this SIMPLE feature be implemented, or at least make a feature you say exists ACTUALLY WORK.
And even if they DO implement this, it wont be right. I know for myself there is a reason I sort mail into subfolders. I do this because I get hundreds of emails daily. I have subscriptions to security bulletins, I get scheduled reports and other notifications, I get invoices and billing notifications from vendors that I do NOT want or need on my phone. I need to sync only SELECT subfolders to filter the information and cut down the noise coming in on my phone. I have 50 subfolders and I need about 12 of those to sync to my phone automatically.
I also think an "All mail folder" is key to show you all mail across all synced folders. Custom Search folders would be awesome like the "real" outlook has.
On android there are 3 Email clients that work perfectly, but they are not free. Nine Email (and the same company's new offering RE:Work) as well as Aquamail are all excellent applications. I previously used Touchdown and Moxier which have both been dead for years now. These are the ONLY email clients (on android) that I'm aware of. Does anyone have any others that sync select subfolders automatically? Any iPhone options? I don't know if the default Apple mail handles this.
