[Proposal] swipe to delete, archive, mark as unread #478

Windows mail was a great solution for windows tablets, like the surface go series. I had swipe left to delete mails and swipe right showed up some buttons as read/unread toggle, archive, ...

The current behaviour of Wino Mail on touch devices without mouse hovering makes it difficult to rapidly delete mails from the message list.... particularly in portrait mode or small screens, where even in the message display you have go trough the ... menu in the upper right.

maybe another feature to think of, but clearly less important... Windows Mail did hide the message list in portrait mode on my surface go 2, in order to have more space for the message display.

You can try making mail list width smaller. If I remember correctly, the min width for mail list is around 300px and minimum width for rendering part around 500. I believe even in portrait mode you have 800px screen width.

Swipes were available previously, but they led to crashes from time to time, this is why they were removed.

Thank you for bringing this topic.

Wino Mail had this functionality before, but in the latest builds it is disabled due to internal bug that is likely to be fixed in the component library we use.

Either that bug will be fixed by Microsoft, or we need to create our own custom swipe control which is quite time consuming at this point.
