  1. Why is settings way in the nosebleeds?!

    Settings needs to be more accessible, not out of the way at the bottom of the left column.

  2. Mailboxes list

    Rather than require the user to hover over the current mailbox on the bottom left and then select the mailbox they want to view, why not just list them all out on the bottom left and only having a "+" whenever the user has more than 5 or 10 mailboxes?

  3. Navigation

    This is not an improvement for the customer at all. Just moving the furniture around doesn't improve anything. Put the Left menu bar back the way it was. Took 5min to find the **** spam folder still don't know how to empty it with one click. This version sucks people.

  4. I need for the accounts/mailboxes to show up without requiring an additional click

    I need for the accounts/mailboxes to show up like they did with the previous UI, without requiring an additional click in the bottom left corner. THis is driving me absolutely nuts!!

  5. Search box on the right

    Please allow us to remove the search box on the right. It takes up too much space and does not add value.

  6. total number of messages in inbox

    In the old version when the cursor hovered over the inbox it told you the total number of messages in that box. Now in the new version, when I do the same thing it only tells me the number of UNread messages in the inbox. I would really appreciate a feature where I can see the total number of messages in my inbox. Thank you

  7. Please get rid of the "..." menu

    In the left-hand navigation column, there is no need for a "..." menu (with Unread, Archive, Spam, etc.), because all of the items in that menu will easily fit on the screen. Save us a click and just show those items, please!! I use many of those items daily, and it's a real pain having them hidden like that.

  8. 'Pin A Folder' option.

    Could you add a "pin this folder" and "pin this account's inbox" option? It would make navigation much easier. Sometimes it gets distracting to search through the mailbox repeatedly. This feature would really help streamline the process.
