Phone numbers, e-mail and Web addresses, and street addresses that appear in the body of an e-mail or text message are linked to the appropriate application on the iPhone. This allows you to…

  • Tap on a phone number to place a call.
  • Tap on an e-mail address to compose and send an e-mail.
  • Tap on a Web address to open a Web page.
  • Tap on a street address to see it in Maps.

 

A quick and fun way to delete e-mail messages (in the list view of a folder) is to simply swipe your finger across it (in either direction). A red Delete button will appear to the right of the message to confirm the deletion. If you change your mind, you can tap anywhere outside the button to cancel the action. This finger swiping action lets you delete items in a number of the built-in applications.
