In general, I think all email apps suffer from feature creep. They start out somewhat basic, and then gradually over the years add more and more features that require new icons, buttons, settings, etc. Eventually, the interface becomes cluttered with lots of stuff you may or may not use on a daily basis. In my ideal world we would be able to turn on or turn off these features and their controls, allowing us to cater the interface to our own needs. However, the creators of these apps want everyone to use all the features so they keep larding them on and sticking them someplace they hope we will notice, which can often make the basic features harder to locate and use. Other app categories suffer from this too. One of the worst is Microsoft Word that has so many features organized in so many different ways that it is often difficult to find the ones you actually want to use, yet 90% of the features are not ones any ordinary person needs on a daily basis.
