Mail app: Mark all read and move to junk

[Savage]

I just want to know if I’m the only one that doesn’t understand how or why they would think this is good design.

In Mail, mark all read/unread and move to junk are super close to each other and very easy to fat-finger. I marked all of my messages as junk and tried to manually revert it but all new messages still go straight to my junk box. It isn’t until I move it from the junk box to the inbox that it actually reverts, one email address at a time.

Does anyone else get mildly infuriated by this or am I just being petty? If the former, let’s get this changed via Apple’s feedback system. https://www.apple.com/feedback/ 🙃

There are a lot of little things that Mail does poorly or the developers kind of half thought out.
I feel as if Apple is trying to reinvent the wheel sometimes.

Agreed, yet I continue to prefer the native apps over the better alternatives. I think I do it because I like the natural looking UI despite the annoyances.

I do and I don't.
I like the readability. I get exasperated at the controls. Some icons, some words, some here, some there, .... it could do with some cleanup and realigning. The iPad version (Landscape) could use some cleaning up with the 3 column view.

True, except for some of the app's like ProtonMail and others, I would use the Apple version. If they could clean up the bugs and fix the JIve tweaks. We used to call GMail "forever beta". Now Mail feels like that.

These are the types of things (in addition to the mail badge not telling me how many new messages I have) that caused me to move to Spark a couple OSes ago. I think since iOS 12? Mail simply doesn't work. Now I'm hooked on Spark because it has a UI that is more efficient and makes more sense.
