New VIP inbox...

I wish they would have added an "unread" option for the native mail app. VIP is an ok idea but not very useful...IMO.

In the mail app, I tap edit, select my message, tap mark and choose unread.

That only changes the message itself back to unread. I would like an inbox option that only shows all unread messages once you open a message it will disappear from the "unread" inbox.

The VIP inbox just doesn't seem to be working for me at all... It never updates, even if I pull down to refresh. I still have to manually go through my inbox looking for mail from my "vip"s. It's not doing what it's supposed to do at all.

LOVE the VIP inbox. I have alerts set to a specific ringtone as well as the *alert* notification that shows in both lock screen and when the phone is in use and doesn't go away until I acknowledge it. Notification center works fine because the VIP emails are starred. Works like a charm. Also like that separate emails accounts can have their own ringtone. Would love to have customizable ringtone for a specific email contact but for now I just add them to VIP and it works fine. :)
