[Show Quoted Text - 11 lines][Hide Quoted Text] The mailbox view has five buttons along the top that relate to actions specific to the selected email, yet the mail view misses the last one ONLY despite it containing mail-specific actions. If you take the view that you have expressed below, why do you have SPAM, or even being extreme, why have REPLY, FORWARD, or DELETE? You can after all do all of those actions from the mailbox view :-/ By all means drop the Hide Preview, Vertical Layout options within the Other menu, but by not including the options to e.g. Blacklist you make me close the window if I have opened it, then separately click to Blacklist, where if it was in the mail view, one click in the Other menu could close the email, delete it, and add to blacklist. I agree.

UI consistency would indicate that it should be there. UX would indicate that it should be there. There is plenty of room along that top bar to have the same buttons - it would hardly clutter it. Other email clients give you full functionality within the mail view, not just the mailbox view. And why would it duplicate code - I am not a php coder, so if I am completely wrong tell me, but would it not be calling a function to display the menu? For users that Hide Preview, they open the emails to see what they are and to action them. You are making them go back to the main window to action things that they should be able to action in the mail view. Not everyone works in the mailbox view. When you open an email in Outlook, or Thunderbird, if you choose to open an email in a new window you get to select or carry out all operations within the child window. They don't make you go to the main window to do functions. Just my 2c...

Rejecting. These are already handled in the mailbox view. Adding this to message view is unneeded duplication of code (and would clutter the UI).

When you open an email in Dynamic View in a separate window instead of in the preview, would be good to be able to have the "Other Actions" available to you - Whitelist, Blacklist, Mark as Flagged for Followup, Mark as Seen. At the moment these are only available in the parent window.
