    Excellent will have to test it out at some point when implemented (personally wasnt a fan of the old k9 ui)

    Honestly I think a fresh coat of paint is what K9 needs most. The recent swipe gestures both to navigate between messages and in the message list have been fantastic. But really working thorough the UX on component at a time will be a dramatic improvement to K9.

    For example the folder classes UI is both too complicated to do simple things and impossible to do more complicated things. The compose window is OK but can use a cleanup. The search UX is pretty awkward (and buggy). I’m glad to see the message window improve as well. The fact that there is currently no way to see both the name and address of the sender is very annoying. I need to pop up the “Show Headers” option way too often. I’d also really appreciate more powerful options for remote content in messages. The current On/Contacts Only/Off is too simple for my taste.

    I think this mockup shows understanding of the current design and what features are valuable and missing. Note that the mockup also has very long subjects and similar so this is the worst-case space usage. I’m sure it will also be refined a bit more before being shipped.

    New things are always scary and carry some risk, but I’m personally quite optimistic.
