I just started using Classic Mail view, forgot that it existed.

How many of you prefer your mail in Classic view, or just keep it the way it is?

So far it's 50/50

I much prefer column view.

Though it does take some adjusting, as does the way it threads messages together

I dig the column view as well.

Searching has become much more sophisticated, so I find I need to organize my mail into folders less than I used to.

I never really gave the column view a chance. To me it seems a good layout if I only look at a few mails and provides enough detail to not click on them. Classic compresses more data into the same space and you see the adress and subject grouped together which I think just gives better overview if there is a lot of different stuff.

I would argue contrary to another poster in column view you need more folders to keep mails of a different sort better separated to maximize on the strengths of the mini previews. Otherwise it is just a waste of space.

I have the col view in the notification bar but in the Mail app I prefer classic as I think it is better at handling a lot of mails at one time. The notification bar is for the 1-5 mails which in col view save me the time to check them out individually.
