Add Eyeballs to Email Folders 😁
Idea shared by kevind - 1/30/2023 at 8:03 PM
Proposed
All the folders in Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, and Notes have eyeballs next to them. But email folders (Inbox, Drafts, Deleted Items, etc.) do not have eyeballs!?!?!

Just need to add eyeballs to all folders in Email. Then when I want to see what's in Sent Items, I just click the eyeballs next to Inbox, Drafts, Deleted Items, Junk Email, Save, etc. to turn them all off. Then it will work just like Contacts where I have to turn off the eyeballs next to Friends, Family, Coworkers, and Customers in order to see Vendors.

And say I want to rename "Junk Email" to "Spam" all I have to do is click the folder name to bring up the rename dialog box. Don't show me the messages in Junk Email when I click the folder. 😁

Obviously this is a jest to highlight why the eyeballs on Calendars, Contacts, Task, and Notes should be eliminated. Make them work like email folders and people won't get confused.

When you click a folder, show what's in the folder like every other email system.

Thanks!
Kevin

I agree with Kevin: the eyeball is an anti-intuitive tool and should be eliminated in favor to a more standard way to work with Contacts, Calendars, Notes, ecc... (e.g.: make them work like are in Outlook or EM Client)

March bump. Not trying to be mean, just trying to bring some attention to this UI inconsistency that confuses users. Maybe explain why it's done this way?
Thanks and have a nice weekend.
