My one issue with iOS6

Hi.

I’ve been using iOS6 for a few days now. I have one issue to report. I know you’ll think it’s what everyone else is talking about, but it’s not.

So, here goes.

In iOS6, Apple changed when the “email sent” sound is played. The sound is played when you click “Send”. No longer is the sound played when the e-mail has been sent to the server.

In fact, being an Edge-user on my iPhone 3GS, it is crucial for me to know when an email has been sent. I already know when I clicked “Send”, I don’t need a sound for that. I need a sound for when the email has been sent. I see no way to change this setting, and it is driving me crazy.

Now, I hear you ask, why would this matter at all? Simple. If an user sends an email out and gets the familiar swoosh sound of email sent/delivered, the user will not know if the email went out, or if it didn’t.

I have seen emails in the Outbox, left there when a connectivity error has occurred, and realised, that even though I heard the sound, the email was not sent to the server.

What I’m trying to say, is that the decision in iOS6 to make the sound play when the email has not already been delivered, is the wrong decision to make, and that there is no setting to alter when the sound is played.

This should be changed as soon as possible.
