  1. Make "Unread" a visible menu option, more accessible

    Make "Unread" a visible menu option, without having to click into a submenu. Ideally, allow customization of the default menu options that are visible.

  2. Reply/Forward Arrows to emails do not show in the Inbox

    In the old version, if I replied to an email my reply would show up as the message preview.

    It no longer does that, so at a glance I cannot see if I replied to an email or not until I open it

    Please fix

  3. Use up and down arrow keys for scrolling

    While I like the new UI, its very annoying aspect is that up and down keyboard keys have been hijacked for "previous" and "next" message navigation. Those keys are normally used for scrolling long messages everywhere else. Without a mouse wheel, the only alternatives are crude PageUp/PageDown or trying to tap the narrow scrollbar.

    Please assign some different keys for message navigation, such as Ctrl+Up/Down.

  4. Display folders on the side bar

    I would prefer if the folders section was always visible on the left sidebar. Currently, having to click "Folders" and then select a specific folder adds unnecessary steps to the workflow. Ideally, the folders should be displayed by default for quick access.

  5. Account switcher broken

    The new account switcher (in the upper right) is seriously broken - it only shows 3 accounts after I click on "Add or switch accounts", when I have 4 active accounts. Worse, it doesn't show the most recently used account. For example, I recently switched from account A to account B. Now, when I select "Add or switch accounts", it shows me accounts B, C, and D. There's no way for me to get back to account A!!! Seriously broken. Also, why the extra click on "Add or switch accounts"? - This is an extra, unnecessary step. I switch accounts…

  8. Move Spam and Trash above Folders. Now, Spam and Trash are virtually inaccessible if you keep your Folders expanded

    I saw you currently have a hint about keeping all folders expanded and this is really important. However, this is unusable right now. When Folders are expanded, it becomes a nightmare to access the Spam folder and since your filters do not work (no matter what tricks you try to make them work), easily checking the Spam folder is a must. If you expand Folders though, access to the Spam folder (and Trash as well) becomes quite hard, especially when you have a lot of folders like me. Please, move Spam (and Trash) above Folders (ideally in the section with…
