* Rich text editor: besides that very few people would use this on a small mobile device, Android doesn't support a rich text editor and most rich text editor open source projects are abandoned.
* Widget to read e-mail: widgets can have limited user interaction only, so a widget to read e-mail would not be very useful. Moreover, it would be not very useful to duplicate functions which are already available in the app.
* Badge count: there is no standard Android API for this and third party solutions might stop working anytime. For example *ShortcutBadger* [has lots of problems](https://github.com/leolin310148/ShortcutBadger/issues). You can use the provided widget instead.
* Switch language: Android is not designed to change the language of an app and on recent Android versions it even causes problems. So, better fix the translation in your language if needed, see [this FAQ](#user-content-faq26) about how to.
* Better design: please let me know what you have in mind [in this forum](https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/source-email-t3824168).
* ActiveSync: using the Exchange ActiveSync protocol requires [a license](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchange_ActiveSync#Licensing), so this cannot be added.

If the list of addresses is long, you can collapse the addresses section with the *less* icon at the top of the addresses section.
Some people ask:
* to show the subject bold, but bold is already being used to highlight unread messages
* to show the address or subject larger/smaller, but this would interfere with the text size option
* to move the star to the left, but it is much easier to operate the star on the right side
Unfortunately, it is impossible to make everybody happy and adding lots of settings would not only be confusing, but also never be sufficient.
