Critical Bugs Fixed, Keyboard Issues Remain
I gave up on Airmail 1.x after it failed to sync GMail accounts properly, leaving messages in my Inbox without actually showing them. Support didn’t respond.
I decided to try Airmail 2 and that issue is resolved, but just like Airmail 1.x, there are some usability issues that make it difficult to use with only a keyboard:
1) I can’t use Command+ to switch between accounts, instead it toggles filters, which are not useful.
2) Deleting an email with the Delete key selects the next email *down*, which makes it very inefficient to process a lot of email: read, delete, select next email with mouse, read, delete…
3) Mailbox navigation is Command+Ctrl+Right/Left, but accounts are sorted in a vertical list. Why not Command+Ctrl+Up/Down?
Anyway, it’s better than using GMail on the Web, but it could be so much better.
