Microsoft has apparently added one of the most wanted feature into Windows Phone 7′s next major update coming out later this fall dubbed Mango. The lack of unified email inbox was one of the missing feature that I complained about in my Windows Phone 7 review so I’m fairly happy to see that it may be coming out sooner rather than later. Based on the screenshot above which appeared in an official Microsoft email sent to the press in New Zealand last wee the unified inbox functionality will be named Linked Inbox.


The other thing that I hope is fixed in Mango is the SMS,MMS, and email integration/connection with the contacts card in the people’s hub. As of right now it’s really useless (it only shows mail containing certain attachments and links to the online Hotmail website instead of the phone’s email client…)
