...won't come with OSX 10.9 neither.

The wish-list ist long: "Let's hope iOS Mail gets some long overdue features like smart folders. The inability to filter the view for unread messages is ridiculous in a 6th generation mail app."

Hmm that was not my wordings... just picked up from unsatisfied Mac users.

Laszlo Lebrun
You're the one who conflated (go ahead and look it up) Mac OS X and iOS...

Alan Baker
I'm not in the shoes of the OP, don't know if he really meant iOS or OSX. I did not spend a lot of time with Mail, but "The inability to filter the view for unread messages is ridiculous in a 6th generation mail app." seems to apply to OSX Mail, don't it?

jay birdsong
No. Because I know for a fact that Mac OS X Mail has that capability.

You chose who to quote, Laszlo.

Alan Baker
Just out of slight curiosity: would you mind to explain how to filter unread? You are the guy pretending one should substantiate each claim.

Oh, and you can also just choose "Unread" from the "Sort by" menu at the top of the message header column.

Requiring constant attention and positive reinforcement from others

snip DCS

Explaining how to do something when someone asks for that information is "r equiring constant attention and positive reinforcement from others" in your world, is it?

LOL

Alan Baker
Reacting to criticism with anger, shame, or humiliation

Really? Where?

Being obsessed with self

Really? Where?

Requiring constant attention and positive reinforcement from others

Really? Where?

Exaggerating own importance, achievements, and talents

Really? Where?

jay birdsong
So, is this known as "selective stupidity", or, "plain stupidity"?

Requiring constant attention and positive reinforcement from others.

I do? Really? Can you cite a specific example and explain how it applies?

Thanks.
