  1. Fix the "star" options between the PC and the App

    In the APP there IS now a way to turn it back on that Tappable Stars always show in the inbox. I've used that every day for 20 years, and HATED the new version for taking it away. It came back as an option almost right away, and THANK YOU for that.

    But the PC version I cannot find a way to turn that back on. Now I have to click on an email I want to star, then click the pulldown button, and then click "Star" AND THEN I have to even REMEMBER to go and UNCHECK the email.…

  2. Filtering Inbox by Unstarred Items

    Just like Filter by Star/Unread . . . would be great to filter by Unstarred emails

  3. Improve star folder view when size is increased above 120%

    Recently, the messages in starred folder have subject message overwriting folder name when view is expanded above 120%. To test, place a message from a folder in star folder and view at 100% and 120% size -- all is well.
    Next increase to 133% and 150% and notice how the subject message and folder listings are no longer fully in separate columns! I hope you can address this new flaw soon.

  4. Problem to viewing

    I appreciate the update, but I found the previous version much easier to read and navigate. The current design makes it harder to view the content clear.
    It would be nice if we could at least choose the colour.

  6. Starred view

    I would like to see something bigger than that tiny little star denoting its importance. Can we get an option that highlights the email or something? Something that points it out more that microscopic single star? The ability to add different colors of importance by choice, just anything that makes the favorite or important option stick out more than the other emails in the list without having to change views.

  8. View

    I wish you could see more of the email, expand the row! Very hard to see. Also do not like the gray color of the rows.
    again hard to see.

  9. star colors

    I need different color stars (or tags) to differentiate different kinds of emails so I can locate what I need quickly.

  10. select star

    Each individual email has options to put star on the right side and once it is selected, the star shows up on the left side of the subject line.

    I think it is very inconvenient.
    Why don't we have that option to select star on email on the left side to start with?
    Sometimes, I try to click the yellow star on the right side and misclick and hit a wrong button.

    Please consider to make it a bit easier and efficient.

    Sincerely,

    Jin Madson

  11. Starred message display

    Eliminate the default starred message display: give the option to put it on the side as an icon to toggle back and forth.
