I don't know if the column on the right side of the email inbox was for notes, but it consumes >20% of the screen that could be used to actually make the email preview modes much more useful than they currently are. Users really don't need to always see their contacts information or a link that opens up the calendar in a different tab taking up that much space that could be used for the primary task of managing emails. At minimum, provide a way to minimize whatever functions it is supposed to provide AND RETAIN WHATEVER ACTION THE USER APPLIED SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO RE-APPLY THAT TO OUR VIEW EVERY TIME WE RE-VISIT OUR EMAIL SCREEN.
