Seems the devs plan to bring back unread numbers in the account dropdown:

https://github.com/k9mail/k-9/issues/4515

Although a small step in the right direction, it is really no replacement for 
the account overview page.

I personally don't get why the account overview page would not fit in the new 
UI concept:
They could just add an optional entry to the drawer on the left that navigates 
to the overview and make the back key also show it. This would also be the 
entry that is first shown when k9 starts. The overview page would then be an 
alias for the drawer UI.
Not sure whether there are any difficulties considering the programming side, 
but UI wise this integration would work and give the best of both worlds.

It really seems that the devs don't care about their long term power users. 
It's their right, but it will lead to a client that is inferior to many 
existing mail clients (e.g. FairEmail).
K-9 currently cannot compete feature wise, but was more organized and resource 
efficient when using many accounts. That's the reason why I chose it. 
Remove that overview page and it's just a gmail clone with fewer features than 
the competition. Thats the same road Opera went: sacrifice your core users for 
the sake of wider audience. But the wider audience does not care about the 
product and does not invest into it. Hope the devs reconsider this.
