By default, webOS adds the Inbox of each email account to the "Favorites" section at the top of your main account/folder view in the Email app. However, did you realize that you are able to remove any of those inboxes, as well as add any other folder from any of your accounts? In order to do this, you just need to tap the star next to the desired folder name that you want to add or remove from your favorites.

For example, in the attached screenshot, if you wanted to remove the Yahoo Inbox from the Favorites section, you would just tap the gold star () on the right of Inbox row (under the Yahoo section, not in the Favorites section, as there is no star there for you to toggle) and it would turn to a gray star (). Or, if you wanted to add the "Outbox" to your favorites, just tap on the gray star and it will turn gold and the folder will then appear in the favorites section.

The listing of the Favorites will first be sorted by the order of your email accounts (e.g. all Yahoo folders first, then all Gmail folders), then will be sorted with the Inbox first, Outbox last, and all other folders listed alphabetically.

Welcome to Round Table, which is in fact not a table at all. Round Table is a continuing series on PreCentral where we pose a question to the staff and they provide their thoughts and insights. The question could be something simple like “what’s your favorite use for the Pre’s mirror?” or something a bit more complicated, like “why are you sticking with webOS (or are you)?” Or maybe we’ll just end up discussing our sandwich workflow. Today, however, we’re diving into the latest version of webOS.
