When I receive a mail I don't want to read because it's only a newsletter or something similar I still have to go and open the mail app to mark it as read so it doesn't show up again when I really want to read another mail with the app or another device. Being able to remove the notification by marking the mail as read would be very helpful. To be able to do this we'd also need separated notifications for each mail, not this stack saying x new mails. Mails should all get their own notification saying who it's from, what's it's title and maybe even one or two rows of text.

Yes! Very good UI suggestion for chance!

I could see myself taking advantage of such functionality all the time, as in my work I get a ton of emails, where the title or just the arrival of mail is the information I need, and this would cut my email read time by several minutes a day. 1-up and a high five!

Yes!

Although the high desirability of this feature-request is, for me, mainly due to the fact that the email app is so glacially slow to load all the way through to a fully-rendered email message.

yes, that just what I wanted to suggest. It would be a great option and would suite the UI of the events screen.

yes, I agree too. And to not overload the UI we should choose between "mark as read" and "delete" I think.

No, I think there should be both remove notification and mark as read, having two rows of options pop up when long pressing the notification wouldn't overload the UI. But this first would require the mails to have separated notifications, maybe even with a little text preview. Currently they get stacked into a pile of notification that says x new mails. Will add this to the main request now.

Any news to this request? Deleting or marking mails read from notification screen would be very very handy. Meanwhile the new mails in notification are not stacked anymore but clickable separately. It is just the next step....
