Help Social Hub on ICS

Ok ICS is installed and seems to be (generally) running well.

Some of the new features I like about the ICS Social Hub like deleting messages from the list screen without having numerous button presses.
Other things like it always opens in feeds and I can't access my folders in my accounts really suck!

As I use gmail and Exchange mail and want push all from one app I am stuck using the Hub, so no other apps won't do the same within one app :(

Anyone managed to get the Hub to open on Messages rather than Feeds?
More importantly, anyone know how on earth I can access my gmail folders and my Exchange folders?
 
I am having a similar problem with the Social Hub. I have set up an MSN account on the Social Hub and it logs in ok. The green circle to say I am online is next to my username, but I cannot access my contacts screen. On GB you just clicked the username to see which of your contacts are online. When I click my username on ICS, it asks me if I want to log out. I cannot find a way to see or message any of my contacts.

Has anyone else come across this?

Same problems here:

1. Social Hub won't default to opening in All Messages tab that shows a list of all my accounts

2. Social Hub seems to have problems linking to Handcent when going via 'messages' button and jumps to random screen

3. Dialer no longer has a proper contacts tab. The contacts option in a sub menu is just for dialling and not editing/texting

As a result my dialer button is having to be replaced with 2 - one dialer and one contacts plus I am having to reface my social hub button with one for SMS and one for email. From 2 buttons to 4 us not exactly progress!

As these are the features I use most and constantly it's very annoying

Yes I noticed #2 as well.
Has no one discovered how to access email folders in ICS social hub yet!?
Seems mad to not support folders in an email application.
