Support Dark Mode in Reading Pane
Please make the preview pane appear dark in dark mode. The current implementation hurts the eyes and is woefully inconsistent with the rest of the application appearance.

Please add "Recall this message" function for mac!
Please add "Recall this message" function for mac！Every time when I would like to recall an email on my macbook, I need to open the Parallels Deask for windows and then open the outlook for windows to recall the email. It is so annoying. More importantly, in "recalling" situation, time is of the essence. In this sense, after I accomplish the two steps aforementioned, the reciever has already opened the mail and I would fail in the recall unfortunately.

I suggest you add Archive feature in Mac version exactly as in Windows version.
Archive feature in Windows cleanly allows storage of mail offline in a *.pst file. Archive functionality is missing in Mac Version. I carry 53 GB of mail with huge syncing and spinning issues.

Revert to Cmd-K for send receive from the current Ctrl-Cmd-K
Send/Receive used to be Cmd-K. For some reason you have now changed this to Ctrl-Cmd-K, which is far less convenient. The amended command can now only be done by the left hand, whereas the previous command was ambidextrous on a standard Mac keyboard layout. I would like the Send/Receive to revert to Cmd-K.

I suggest you add spell check before sending as an option.
I suggest you add spell check before sending as an option. Yes there is spell check as you go but spell before sending is better and what people are used to using outlook. Not sure why the MAC version has to miss such clear essentials.

Marking e-mails with ink
How many times do you receive (long) e-mails that you keep in your inbox because you want to return to them later, e.g. to check one of the links that was included? Problem is, anytime you do go back to this message, you have to read everything again because you don't remember anymore WHAT it is you wanted to check later. Here's where siple inking would come in handily. Let the user mark the section of the e-mail (s)he want to check later.
