In v8 one could easily flag or unflag mails in the list-view as well as toggle the read-state with a click on the “read-state indicator-dot”. Very convenient, thumbs up.
In v9 the read-state indicator-dot transforms into the flag toggle-button when hovering the mouse over it. While glancing at a mail to assess whether to read in-depth or postpone to later, mails are often mark as read and I’d like to “unread” them. Now I have to right-click, find the unread item in 20 menu-items (far away from my current mouse-location) and click it, and move the mouse back to the next item. Quite annoying. Even the read-state indicator-dot in the reading-pane has no active purpose (i.e. only indicates passively, but can’t toggle).
Is there a setting in the options somewhere to allow read-state shortcuts or change behavior of the UI-elements in this regard? I’ve been looking all over the place without success, what am I missing? It seems there have been several feature-requests in the forum emphasizing the utility of this, similar, or related functionality over the years (2011, 2014, 2017, etc.)… for now I still refuse to believe it could have been removed.
