I hate poor iconography.
A while ago it took me a good 15 minutes to figure out how to mark an email as "unread" in the Gmail Android client. Apparently an envelope icon means "mark as unread".
The newish (within the past couple years) navigation icons on Android are great: a left pointing triangle, a circle, and a square. At least the triangle points the same direction as old back button.
Disclaimer: I do use Vim when SSHed into a server because that's the CLI editor I happened to learn and it supports regex search.
- roywiggins 8y agoAn envelope icon can also mean "mark as read" in GMail. It's like a treasure hunt, but for your email. Fun[1]! [1]not fun
- MereInterest 8y agoAlso, the "Mark as unread" button is only present if you are in your inbox with the email selected. There is nothing analogous to the desktop's "Mark as unread" which is at the top of an open email, and returns you to the inbox when used. Also, there is no indication that the emails are selectable at all. The icon to the left of each email is a portrait of the sender, which in no way corresponds to the action of selecting an email.
