To be fair, they are comparing a best case scenario email in the current UI to a worst case email in the new UI. Multi-line subject, multi-account identifier, tags, external images. So it looks to me like there's actually higher information density in the new UI. A little difficult to tell without a direct comparison of the same email and settings though.
- worble 4y agoYeah, I do think they had a bit of a faux pas with this showcase by not showing like-for-like differences. The first email didn't have multi-line subjects or anything like that, so it's hard to compare the two and see why the update might actually be better.
- mjw1007 4y agoI agree. It looks to me like the only place they're really wasting space is the hefty margin above the body text.
- nashashmi 4y agoI don't know. Seems like everything is twice or three times as large. Click on who else was the message sent to -> appears a big box that you have to scroll to figure out who is included.
- notpushkin 4y agoThey're also saying the padding “will get tightened up” [1]. I'd also do some other changes though [2], like removing that border around the “Show remote images” button and instead letting it bleed to the whole panel (a trick I've first seen in the Telegram app).

- asddubs 4y agoyeah I was irritated by that as well, it makes it much harder to compare the designs. I think I prefer the new one though, the old one does look a little clunky
