Hi all,
As with all big changes in some apps there is almost always some negative feedback. We had to remove some of the message view menu features as not a lot of users were using them, and putting them again inside of the menu would take up too much space. We're going to make some future changes for the menu:
- We're going to return the Move to Archive button option inside of the new menu
- We're going to return the Spam button option inside of the new menu
- We're going to return the White background option inside of the new menu
- We'll remove the icons on top of the message bar, where the Account name and folder used to be
- As we remove the buttons from the message bar, we'll return the Account name and folder names
We're considering on improving the full screen mode, but we'll need some time to get some ideas on how we can improve the mode itself. We're listening to all user feedback that we receive, as it is always valuable for us to develop the app the way our users want it to be.

First of all, thank you for responding to and addressing some of these requests/ complaints.
Seems to be a lot of real estate in that top bar. Don't know why a few buttons couldn't co-exist with the account info on the left. But if they can't, then I'd prefer the account info.
Also if you put a few buttons at top, and they're fixed - ie not customizable - at least let them also be available at the bottom if a user prefers to put some if them there, especially things like Archive and Move/Copy to Folder or Spam. Duplication isn't always a bad thing.
Personally I could live with things like Spam at the top because I rarely use it. Everything from several accounts comes through my main Gmail account and Google and FastMail weed out 99.9% of spam before it ever gets to Aqua Mail. But that may not be the case for others.
But being able to customize (or toggle on/off) those three top icons, probably through settings, would be ideal.
You might also consider the option of more buttons on the first row of the bottom toolbar. I use an app that puts shortcuts in the notification/status bar (cf screenshot) and I can always put nine (9) icons in each row, though I now have only 8, without ever accidentally hitting the wrong one. The bottom bar of the oldrr 1.26.0 version only has 5 buttons plus the 3-dot overflow, with lots of blank space between them. A couple more frequently use buttons would be nice. Just be sure nothing goes in the top row that a user didn't put there. (Right now if you remove a button another "unwanted" one slides automatically into it's place. Shouldn't be hard. I have lots of apps, including in the screenshot, that work that way. Nothing in those rows that I didn't put there.
And I agree with the poster who said maybe that bottom bar is a bit tall.
And thank you also for considering some kind of improvement to future implementation of full screen mode. As I've mentioned before, at the moment (or before it was eliminated) turning it on was buried a bit deep in a subsection of the overflow menu. Maybe an available icon in the lower bar, or even one at the top, would make it easier to access.
Also in full screen you might consider leaving the lower bar visible or easily accessible by dragging up its handle so that you could use Reply or Delete buttons without having to exit full screen. That bottom bar doesn't take up much room (at least it didn't in the old UI!). It's the top section that uses up a quarter to a third of the screen in normal mode. Getting rid of just that in full screen mode is a big help.
