Frequently requested features:
* Previewing message text in notification/widget: this is not possible because the message text is initially not downloaded.
* Executing filter rules: filter rules should be executed on the server because a battery powered device with possibly an unstable internet connection is not suitable for this.
* Widget to read e-mail: widgets do not allow user interaction, so a widget to read e-mail would not be very useful.
* Swipe left/right to go to previous/next message: swiping also selects message text, so this would not work reliably.
* Rich text editor: besides that very few people would use this on a small mobile device, Android doesn't support a rich text editor and most rich text editor open source projects are abandoned.
* Widget to read e-mail: widgets do not allow user interaction, so a widget to read e-mail would not be very useful.
* Executing filter rules: filter rules should be executed on the server because a battery powered device with possibly an unstable internet connection is not suitable for this.
* ​Resize images: this is not a feature directly related to email and there are plenty of apps that can do this for you.
* ​Calendar events: opening the attached calendar file should open the related calendar app.

* Show original message without confirmation
* Open links without confirmation
* ​Hide addresses: addresses play an important role in determining if a message is authentic
Confirmation is just one tap, which is just a small price for better privacy.
