Hi All,

I was wondering if any of you are using the beta for the streamlined inbox experience and how you are finding it.

My first thoughts on it was that it was a cleaner look, however after using it some more I can see that it may marginally increase the time worked on in emails.

I have found the new look involves more mouse clicks to navigate to simple tasks such as tagging and searching. The ability to quick view linked Jira tasks now also involves clicking into objects.

I know I can utilise keyboard shortcuts for a number of these workarounds, but I was wondering what you thoughts on the new look is and how you are navigating this.

Regards

@shane_leslie This might be a good question to ask in our Inbox redesign beta group. I’ve invited you there.

Completely agree! Multiple common use cases - trashing a message, moving from inbox to calendar - now require two mouse clicks instead of one and/or two hands with keyboard shortcuts. As someone who has designed software for Apple, Microsoft, Oracle, and many other companies, this is a usability nightmare. Such a shame.
