Ratings and reviews

I just installed it, made multiple tests and it works great! I read some comments concerning features, UI, etc. A Christmas tree is plain and barely noticeable until you hang a ton of lights and ornaments on it then it's in your face! The features are there, you just have to look past your nose. If you want convenience over privacy and security, go back to Gmail....

While the privacy features are excellent , and I like minimalistic approach, and I am evaluating this to be paying costumer , and easy to reach menu is a must, bc without features , I can't do ... So it says I can add email to trusted list , or my address book, to load images but it does not say how.. I check boxed a sample email, there is no choice anywhere in the app , to add to trusted list , or address book .. I am sure I can go on my desktop . but , what in the shasquash polkadot pajamas?

Good app, needs a few more tweaks though. Would love to see a 'not junk' option in the app. Or smart sorting. Eg 'always send this senders email to x folder'
