I wish in modern view we could move around the columns. I too miss the number conversation at the beginning, I relied on that pretty heavily. Sheesh, if I saw a conversation was over 20, sometimes I skipped it. In classic layout I don’t know how to get VO to announce the number inside the conversation, it just says conversation, conversation.
When I first looked at my email yesterday, it was acting very oddly. I was missing a ton of messages. Now, I’m noticing they are filtering in like crazy. My notification center keeps popping up with messages that I received a long time ago. I’m going to have to scope out this behavior.
