One Tap to the Top of an Email or Mailbox: iPad

The method to go to the top of an email or mailbox in the iPad Mail app is different from an iPhone. It works just as well—after you find it the first time.

If you scrolled down in the list of messages and want to return to the top of the list quickly, tap the blank space immediately above Inbox at the top of the messages list.If you scrolled down in an individual email, tap the blank area above the email. The position is sensitive. Aim for the center point of the email’s width and at the top edge of the screen to return to the top of the email.

Quick Scrolls and Jumps in iPhone Mail

Here are a few tips for navigating your iPhone emails and inboxes:

Return to Mailbox Message List: If you have a message open, tap the Back link in the upper-left corner of the screen to go back to the message list. The link may say Inbox, Mailboxes, or the name of the service provider. You’ll return to the area of the screen where you opened the email rather than go to the top of the message list.Scroll to Next or Previous Message Using the Arrows: Use the two arrows in the upper-right corner of the screen, under the status bar, to open the next message or to return to the previous message. Tap these arrows to go through your mailbox without returning to the list of messages. They are visible at the top of every email, even when you scroll down in the message.Return to Mailbox Message List and then Jump to Top of the Message List: If you have a message open and want to return to the message list and then jump to the top of the list, use two taps. First, tap the Back link (or whatever the link is named) in the upper-left corner below the status bar. Then, tap the status bar in the right corner to return to the top of the message list. If you have a message string open, this shortcut may not work as expected.
