Get ready for another big glitch in iPhone OS 3.0: it seems like the Spotlight search cache doesnt sync message status with the mail client, so you can still pull up old messages with Spotlight if you know the subject line. Yeah, thats not okay -- we just verified that the bug exists on our phones, using both POP and IMAP. Were not sure when the search cache finally deletes emails, but it doesnt appear to happen quickly: Matt Janssen, who discovered the bug, says hes been able to pull up emails three or four months old. Weve heard whispers its fixed in iPhone OS 3.1, but until theres a confirmed fix well be using the Gmail web interface, thanks. Video after the break.
