  4. Searching on the andriod mobile version does not work as advertised. (eg "to: Chris")

    Only a few emails that fit the example criteria will be found if any. sometimes emails are totally missing.

  7. when searching, don't group emails in the results, or at least make it an option to not group the results.

    the search results group the email conversations, so I can't get to the exact email I want. I need to get to the particular email to perform an action on that specific email (not necessarily the latest one in the trail). it should be an option to group the search results.

  12. Allow opening older messages via search function, and avoid the confusing Unable to load error. Per support this is by design.

    Fix this. It works on ios!

    Hi Phillip, thanks for reaching out. Opening emails through the Search Function will only display the headers & will give you a "Error Loading Message" error. This is because our app automatically syncs one month or 1000 emails to allow for advanced features such as Search, Files, Calendar, and People.

    If you would like to view emails without any errors, simply scroll down in any folder and tap "Load more messages".

    Thanks & have a great day!
