I agree. The interface design is poorly done compared to previous versions.
Also I would like to see a tooltip displayed for the contact's display name
block in the conversation window. This will be useful for display names that
are too long to be displayed and also to quickly identify the contact's email
address.
I don't mind if we no longer have "Out to Lunch" and "In a Call", but the
"Be Right Back" status is needed and used very often. Please consider adding
it back.
Thanks and best regards.
