Multi-Tasking Tabs - Like before, open an email in a new tab.
AI Summaries - Ability to disable. Go to Settings > AI Features > Toggle Off
Number of Total Messages - Hover over the Inbox Icon and you will see both total number of messages and unread.
Sender's Email Address - You don't have to open the message to see the sender's email address. Just hover over the sender's name from your Inbox.



COMING SOON!
Differentiate Unread v. Read - Better ways to see the difference.
Resize Images - Resize an image within the message.
Inbox Categories - Default to "All" category instead of always Priority.

Bulk Delete - Click on a checkbox from your Inbox and a new checkbox will appear at the top. From there you can Select All and Delete All.

  1. Bug: Disabling AI Message Summaries toggle does not work (stuck on generic previews)

    I turned off the "Message summaries" toggle in Settings, but my inbox won't revert to normal. It is stuck showing generic AI text like "Linkedin has sent you job alerts for..." instead of the actual company and role details.

    I have already tried:

    1, Turning the toggle on and off again.

    1. Hard-refreshing the browser (Ctrl+F5).

    2. Logging completely out and logging back in.

    The UI says it is turned off, but the inbox is completely failing to update. Please fix this caching issue!

  4. Allow <filter> to list items first

    I'd like to show my STARRED items on top WITH all the other items in my Inbox. Maybe it could be extended to other filters? A particular date or email address or topic? (But just Starring them should be enough)

  8. Fix errors

    The inbox states you have unread email a long time before the email appears in the folder, this causes your customer to open the web page to read the email but it isn't there to be read, wasting time.

  10. Please remove the pop-up of the names of anything the mouse hovers over.

    The pop-ups that are produce when I hover over items is very annoying and I am always having to move my mouse pointer in order to selecting the item. For example, when I am trying to select a folder I have saved, I try and select it and yet I get the pop-up stating the name of the folder I am hovering over. Again, this is an issues when trying to select the folder as I always have to move the mouse quickly and back to the folder to select it. I do not need a pop-up showing the name…

  15. Remove the big UNSUBSCRIBE from on top of the subject line on mouse over

    When I'm on desktop, it's natural for me to move my mouse over an email that I'm going to open or delete as I'm going through my emails. When I do that, many of the emails have their subject line now almost completely hidden by a big UNSUBSCRIBE button. I don't generally want to one-click unsubscribe from my emails. I want to scan the sender and subject line, see if they're worth opening, and then make a decision based on that. But when the big UNSUBSCRIBE button comes up, I can't see the subject line so then I have to…

  16. MAKE THE CHECKBOX AREA BIGGER

    Please, for the love of god, make the checkbox are bigger. The only use for the area left of the purple unread dot is to select messages. Yet if I miss the checkbox by 1 pixel, it opens the message I want to select for deletion. I get too many emails I don't want to read everyday. Make it easy for me to delete them.

  18. Filter Unread by Sender Name

    Previously I was able to sort UNREAD emails by sender's name however it wasnt sorting correctly. Now the option is removed and I'm not able select the option.
    Can you PLEASE add back the option to sort by sender, then from there unread and because of storage limits with attachments first? It is NOT user friendly the way it is currently!
    PLEASE reply with and update and ETA.

  20. totally unhelpful

    it is a total chaos in switching from one inbox to another inbox when i have 2 or 3 inboxes at the same time opened.
    .

    i need to see the different emails in the list of "added emails" at the top
    of the email i am logged in
    so i may switch between them
    easily

    it was better before when
    i was able to simply click on it
    and see the list of all added emails
    and switch between them

    instead of: going outside
    the email and then log in again
    i am already logged in

    it is total…
