Reply/Forward Icons - You can see the arrow icons when you've replied or forwarded to a message.
Up/Down Arrow, Scrolls Now - In full message view, not preview pane.
Sender's Email Address - You don't have to open the email to see the sender's email address. Just hover over the sender's name from your Inbox.

Keep Folders Expanded - First expand left hand column by hovering on Inbox edge until you see Double Arrows. Then a drop down will show up next to Folders. 
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.
Drag and drop messages to folders - Just click and hold on an email message, then drag and drop that message into a different folder.

    After unknowingly losing focus on the body of the message, I kept typing. This led to deletion of my draft and moving several messages from my search results into the Trash folder.

    I'm not sure what happened, but I think the following should be implemented to keep my data safe:
    - Don't execute commands with single keystrokes. Use a modifier like ctrl, cmd, option, etc.
    - Send deleted drafts to the Trash or "Deleted Drafts" folder. It's really frustrating to lose the message I spent several minutes typing.

  2. Custom deleting

    A custom delete checkbox seems like a no-brainer add to have. When clicking upper box, yes there is a delete all. But when you're someone like me that has thousands of emails, but also gets a ton of trash emails to delete, the custom box could say... 'check all, check none, etc. like it has already. But now let's add 'delete today, delete last 2 days, delete to a certain date backwards'. You get the point as in 'Custom'

  3. mass blocking

    when blocking/deleting massive amounts emails in bulk, if too many are selected then I can't actually hit the button at the bottom of the menu to block all the senders! I have to use Ctrl + mouse wheel scroll to zoom out and sometimes I still can't see the delete button because so many addresses are on the list.

  4. delete key?

    go back to simply clicking delete key also while in email or when highlighted. Remember some of us are physically unable.
