I know this is rather a summary of different "ideas" and not all are new but I am afraid that 15+ ideas with 4-5 votes will never get the attention so I figured I'd just summarize them. So maybe it's me but I think proper email formatting is a basic functionality that should be given. The way the composer works today is beta status *at best*:

* Everytime I add a bullet or numbered list via markdown editor, I get double spacing between the bullets/ list items (when I paste from Byword, it looks fine!)
* In general, there is no way to adjust line spacing
* Everytime you edit something and then switch back from markdown editing to Rich Text editing and then back again to edit what you just wrote, you get no chance to edit again because it is summarized as [original-html]
* When inside a bulleted list and you want to change the current bullet level to a numbered item, it just *adds* a numbered item on the next level instead of changing the current bullet level (if it were possible to edit the [original-html], I could fix this myself, but read above!
* It should be possible to use tab to indent/ outdent list levels
* Every time I paste text with other formattings, it won't be adjusted to the format used in my email (look at Outlook and just offer 3 options: 1. insert as plain text (I know you could also do this with Option+Shift+Command+V), 2. apply formatting, 3. use source formatting)

Whilst the above are a must in my eyes, this would be a plus:

* The HTML editor should highlight the text in both windows at the same time, i.e. if I highlight a section in Rich Text then it should show me where the relevant code for that section is so I can edit more quickly

I would love to keep on using Airmail but with this composer, I am switching back to Outlook :-(.

Love that we can set follow-up reminders to outgoing email in the event of a non-reply. However, the execution of the idea, in my opinion, leaves something to be desired:

1 - please arrange for the reminders to be moved automatically when the email is answered. Needing to do this manually, remembering which emails have been answered, is unnecessarily time- and energy-consuming.

2 - please use clearer flags for emails that have gone unanswered. I know we receive a notification each time the deadline passes, but this hovers in the top right corner of the screen for a few seconds before it's gone. Then there's no way of knowing, by glancing at the reminders folder, how many expired follow-up reminders I'm waiting for, unless I go through EACH reminder manually. A simple number to the right of the reminders folder in the left hand menu column (much like the number next to the "inbox") would suffice.

3 - The Holy Grail! Integration of follow-up reminders with Apple Reminders, Todoist, Wunderlist, OmniFocus, Things etc etc. The MailButler add-in for Mail.app manages this, and it's a superb feature. Ideally, I want all my reminders & to-dos to be in one place. Again, such an integration would need to auto-remove the reminder from the Reminders/Todoist etc folder upon receipt of a reply.

Thanks.

Let's say I have a conversation thread in my inbox with 5 messages: 2 have been previously read and 3 are new. I'm using Gmail keyboard shortcuts, and I select the thread. This is what should happen:

- The 2 previously read messages appear collapsed.
- All of the unread messages are expanded.
- The oldest unread message is selected and scrolled fully into view.
- Hitting "n" goes to the next oldest unread message. It is scrolled fully into view. Currently only a tiny amount is scrolled into view (e.g. enough to read the recipient list and nothing else), and one must then manually scroll down to actually read the message.

I can't totally tell what Airmail is doing currently, but in the above situation it seems to be some combination of:

- Expanding the unread messages and placing the oldest unread message into view. This seems okay.
- The newest unread message is actually selected, not the oldest, so you have the end of the thread selected even though you haven't read it all yet. This seems to happen even if the newest message is not in the viewport.
- Hitting n or p seems nondeterminant to me. I feel like I've seen it sometimes select the oldest unread message, sometimes select the middle message. In either case the app does an unanimated scroll to some message, and the message is not top aligned in the viewport, ti's just at some apparently random scroll position, so it's really hard to tell what just happened.

Basically the behavior should exactly emulate what Gmail does on the web (regardless of shortcut keys used -- this is just basic conversation navigation). They do sane expand and collapse of read/unread messages in a conversation (read are collapsed when navigating to a conversation, unread are expanded), and they scroll intelligently as you use shortcuts to navigate through a conversation. For example, they always scroll selected messages fully into view, not just a few pixels into view, when selecting them. They always scroll expanded messages to the top of the viewport when selected so you can always read as much as will fit on screen. And as a side note, the selection indicator in the left margin is very subtle when using the default theme and can be hard to see.

Thanks for reading.

There are a few comments/pieces of feedback on attachments. But other than the composer, it's another bit of Airmail that could do with a proper revamp. Feels like an afterthought at the moment.

— Attachments at TOP of mail, not at the bottom or randomly in the email chain... Apple Mail sticks them at the bottom too and it's hella annoying, especially if the chain is long or when you're hunting for an old attachmrnt somewhere
– Attachment/file view and/or manager. i.e. being able to view an inbox folder or sender as a file manager folder to organise attachments.
— Attachment reminder: "It looks like you meant to attach something" reminder would be good (though not essential)

I have to switch to my outlook webmail whenever I want an attachment at the moment :(
