Errk. Can the people who don’t have a lot of PMs have a way to continue use the old interface? The new one is really confounding.

There are typically about 10 messages in mine, so I don’t need search or any fancy folder stuff. But I delete messages often, and doing so now involves a combobox. I think it’s enough to select “Move [selected] messages to [(deleted)]” and then tick off messages? Not obvious, though.

Shouldn’t “General” be called “Inbox”?

Choosing folders by twiddling the search stuff is confusing. When I moved a few messages into the Archives folder, I was momentarily puzzled at where they went and how I could get them back.

Sorry; the features are nice, I suppose (I’d need a while to figure out all the things I can do now), but that interface is just horrible.

Update: if I search for messages from an non-existant author, there is no notification, instead it simply lists everything.

Update 2: the “or with content” label is misleading, the search criteria are ANDed (the behaviour as is is preferrable; just the labelling is wrong).

Update 3: how do the “(trash-bag)” and “(deleted)” folders differ?

Makeshifts last the longest.
