New layout not OK


The folder names don’t fit in one line. This is ugly.
Old K-9 was without this problem.
Please see attachment.

Old K-9 (fine)

Couldn’t agree more, this new look is a disaster. I have a set of accounts on my own domain, so they are all identified by the same two letters.

I wonder, who complained about the old layout and they changed it. I think it was perfect.

They do not even need to make changes to the new layout, just revert to the old one.

Yes, I completely agree with you. The new design is a no-go.

The programmers should make the abbreviation editable.

To create the abbreviation from the domain name is not helpful. Some of my domains have 3 mailboxes and now I don’t know which is which mailbox…

Woke up this morning to face this terrible redesign, making it almost impossible to figure out my mails (4 accounts).

Already having suffered the backlash from the previous major redesign 1-2 years ago, which was horrible for people with multiple active accounts, but this new design is rediculous.

Instead of being silent like with the last update, I created this account to voice my concerns and request information on how to reverse this horrible design…

I don’t like it too. It’s a horrible design. :crazy_face: The old one was much clearer and better. Please reset! :pray:

P. S.
Until now I was very lucky with your app.
Thank you.

I know this is a free app, and the developers are wonderful, and I greatly appreciate them.

But, this needs to be fixed.

I’ve seen the attitude here of, “Well, this is how the app is now, so deal with it.”

I’ve been with K9 through five phones and 10+ years. This update WILL cause me to abandon the app.

Absolute garbage in every way, and the developer who did this needs to be off the team.

Rolled back to the old version.

Présentation vraiment intolérable surtout lorsqu’on a une quinzaine de boîtes à gérer!

My folder names don’t go to second lines like the original poster had. That might be a font sizing issue if you changed your system font size.

There’s another thread about the selector, and I commented over there that I actually kind of like this selector and workflow action. Reference

I have 16 accounts set up in K-9 and Thunderbird. I can tap the email address in the top area to move to the next email account and take a quick look at the folders and if any new messages are pending. This works for me.

Fully agree! Please revert to previous layout asap!

Fire the designer who is responsible for this bullshit design! How can anyone design such an unusable and stupid design? Revert to the last design with full mailbox names super fast, otherwise you’ll loose not only me but lots of other users. I liked K9 a lot, but now I start to check for alternatives.:rage::rage::rage:

Horrible. Unreadable. Can’t distinguish accounts. Please go back.

I love you K-9 Mail. This is painful.

old layout was so user friendly, not sure why these design decisions were taken? what purpose do they serve other than to make me click a bunch of times to find the right account? Please go back to the old design, this is hostile design and try to stick to “If It Ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix It”

Perhaps the developers think that the appearance of the app is the least of their concerns but it is obvious to anyone reading the above topic that it is vital to the daily use of this otherwise efficient and trusted app.

I, for one, will not be using it until my twelve gmail accounts can be distinguished by something other than the colour and also that the shading for selected messages is clear enough for me to be certain that I’m not deleting something read but important because of the very similar shading.

Developers, please act quickly.

Please give us back the previous design, I can’t cope with the new one at all.
