Screen Overflow
The Quick Settings pane is now too big for the screen. It goes past the right edge of he display, with no horizontal scroll bar to let me see the missing part. I use Firefox 63.0.1 (64-bit) on a desktop, with Windows 10 & a 1920x1080 screen.
0 votesThank you for reporting this issue! I wanted to follow-up and let you know that we did indeed have a bug with some resolutions. The fix has been coded up and we are testing it. I would imagine in the next week or so this should be fully fixed for all accounts.
Thanks for bringing it up to us! Please keep the feedback coming!

Reading/seeing deleted emails again
When it says 'yesterday', am I seeing all emails that I received and already deleted? If so I am not happy. Why am I reminded of emails I already got rid of???
0 votesHi there, thanks for the feedback. The date separators that you mention are just showing the mail that is left in your inbox and hasn’t been deleted or moved.
If you prefer not to have the date separators (more like the old experience) you can turn this off.
Click on the Gear in the top right and turn off Sort by Date.
Hope this helps

Blue boxes with reply suggestions
what are the blue boxes with reply suggestions at the bottom of the e mails I receive? I do not need suggestions as to what to reply !
0 votesThanks for taking the time to provide your feedback. The little blue boxes are indeed suggested replies.
If you do not like that particular feature, you can disable them by going into the Settings. Click on the gear in the top right. This opens up the quick settings pane. If you search for suggested replies it will take you right to the setting.
Hope that helps
