  1. block or unsubscribe automatically when multiple emails from the same address are deleted

    Automate or use AI to recognize when an account holder repeatedly deletes emails from an account without opening them. Once those are recognize, either automate or offer to unsubscribe and/or block that sender, and/or automatically mark them as spam for all future emails.

  2. Spam message going to my delete folder after blocking the address

    If I block a spam address I do not want the spam message going to my delete folder. I would prefer that the spam message after being block would just disappear not to be seen again. I have no use for a spam message in my delete folder after blocking the address.

  3. spam mark by accident leading to all emails going to spam folder even after hitting undo

    You idiots put the Spam button too close to the 'mark as read' button. and now because I accidently clicked it, all my messages, even though I immediately clicked undo, are going to my spam folder. Put it back to the old Format! this new one is garbage.

  5. Delete and entire day email

    Previously, we had a box to click if we wanted to click on every email for the entire day. Then it was so easy to unclick any emails that you wanted to read. After that you could hit Delete and everything you didn't want was deleted.
    Now it takes Much Longer to Delete the unwanted emails. The old way was so much Easier! Hopefully you restore that function!
