Hi, I'm playing with the new layout too. I just use Quick Nav a lot more than I used to in mail. I wonder if quite a few of the changes will make me default to having quick nav switched on most of the time now. I certainly like the way the preview is working for me as there are quite a few messages I would probably have opened before that I am not doing now.
