Need to turn off threads

The functionality of the app isnt terrible, but only 2 stars because theres no way to turn off email threads in the app. Clearly it must have been a big enough issue that the feature can be disabled in the browser version, so I cant imagine why its not been ported to the mobile iOS app...

Often I receive a simple OK response message and dont wish to save it, so I want to delete it. But in the mobile app if I delete that message it moves the WHOLE thread to the trash.

And then you have the users who change subject matter in a reply to a different topic but dont alter the Subject of the email itself. I cant fix stupid nor can I fix their bad email habits. So give me a way to separate emails in my mobile inbox so I can have the same sanity I do when sitting at a PC.
