Starred Email marker (and other actions)
Another casualty of change just to justify change:
The star to mark emails, once smartly located in a way consistent with its purpose --to highlight, get attention-- (actually clickable in two locations on an email) has now been moved. Rather than separate and easily accessible, it has been inconveniently moved to the middle of a tight pack of other action options.
A smarter reorganization would be to put a space between items that move the email (trash, spam, previous, next) and those that modify its status: read/unread and starred. In fact, three pairs of actions with a space or marker between them would be best: previous, next ** trash, spam ** read/unread, star. Placing the star on the far right would be more consistent with its prior stand-out location.
You're welcome!
