Buggy but better UI than web gmail
After using it for several months here are some thoughts on Kiwi:
Does the job better than most but some significant bugs / UI issues
1) Occasional issues with moving emails to folder; just won’t when dragging and dropping. Irritating and frustrating. Works fine when using longer “move” button.
2) Occasionally just dies for no apparent good reason and in many situations. Process just ends and you have to manually restart it.
3) Threaded conversations are pretty much a major issue; it really needs a chronological view of all contributors to a thread as a default. Not sure what it is now but it’s pretty twisted.
On the wish list;
1) when looking at long lists of email, it’s a pain to have to drag the email up to the top to move from social | promostions to primary boxes; wish there was a floting header or something for that.
2) Wish there was easy and fast way, within the email review window, to automatically go to the next or previous message after you look at it or delete it (see apple mail on iPhone).
3) Avatars for people in my gmail contacts?
4) Improved UI affordances for mobile version - quick way to click through to next/previous emails, delete, star, etc from inside a message. Mobile version seems like repeat of desktop version rather than rethink of mobile needs.
