Mail Search Comes in Handy
June 22nd, 2009
I was just at the dentist (paid $1.20 for a consult after a whole 2-minute wait–damn that socialized medicine!), and they wanted to arrange for my next checkup in December. Thing is, I couldn’t remember the December schedule at my school. I didn’t have the work calendar on hand, and had not added the information to my iCal app.
iPhone to the rescue. Specifically, a new feature in 3.0: mail search. The calendar I was sent a few months ago would not be on the phone still, but the new mail search feature goes back to the mail server and searches there, too. And there it was! I downloaded the PDF file quickly and made the appointment without trouble. Cool.
