Hide the account email address on the top left of the message
« on: February 23, 2017, 02:44:31 am »
Is there a way to hide the email address that appears in the top left of the message list view? So, in the Smart Folder, for example, there's a long list of all of my email messages; in the top Left corner of each of these messages, the account email address shows, essentially like:

myemail(at)email.xyz
SUBJECT
Name of Sender
First line of the body of the email...

In the new design, the account email address in the top left is just visual clutter; it's positioned too high in the box, so at a glance, it's confusing as to whether or not it's part of the message above or below it. All of my email accounts are colour-coded, which is a much faster, easier way of visually differentiating them --- having the email address appear in the top Left is distracting and redundant. I didn't mind it so much before, but now that it appears in tiny type, I couldn't hate it any more.

Is there a way to hide this? If not, is that something that could be added to a future update? (or could it be re-designed so as to not look so cluttered?)

Yes, the first line in Smart Folder is placed a bit too high when the option "Account / folder name" is enabled.

Perfect, thanks for the tip!



Settings -> Smart Folder -> Account and folder names (unselect)
In your case (colors are assigned to accounts), you'll see a thin colored band at the right of the message instead of the names.
