Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Personally when I am looking at the message list, I only want a quick overview, so I am only interested if an email was classified as spam, especially:

  • I am not interested if it was not considered to be spam. Showing the green icons is distracting me from the important information, that the message might be spam (information overload …)
  • and I am definitely not interested in the spam score. That's a detail I can investigate in the message pane, if I am thus inclined.

Describe the solution you'd like

  1. I would like a column, showing only if a message is considered as spam, that is, it only shows the red icon, so that it clearly stands out.
  2. I would like a column, which does not show the spam score.

I can think of two approaches:

  1. Make the column configurable, so that you can select what is shown. I can think of those selectable options: Red icon, yellow icon, green icon, score as number.
  2. Provide an additional column which only shows the red icon.

My preferred approach would be to have a second column, which is configurable. Why? If I look through my spam folder, I might want to se the spam score in the message list … So for me two different columns would be the best.

If the column width gets smaller, the header is truncated to e.g. Spa…. An icon would be appreciated here (TB already has one for its own Junk Status column).

Describe alternatives you've considered
I can "remove" the score by making the column so small, that just the icon is displayed. But I still get the green (and yellow) icons (and the column header now looks awful).

Additional context
The toolbar button in the message pane shows Spam score: xxx, which takes up quite a lot of space. Can this somehow be shortened? Maybe just show the (numerical) score? Because the tooltip carries the full name.

I'll have to think about a proper solution for this. I could imagine a kind of minified version that you can activate in the settings. I think that a second column just for the minified version is too much work for this specific use case.

I split the problem into another separate issue, which includes the idea of an icon as the column header.

I just re-evaluated my set up. The verdict is: I have two use cases in one TB instance:

  1. On one of my mail boxes, I filter all possible spam into a separate mailbox.
  2. For another mail box, I keep spam and incoming mail together in one mailbox.

For 2., I want only to see the icons, but for 1. I want to see all information in the spam mailbox; and just the yellow and red – if ever a possible spam mail strayed into my inbox – icons in my inbox. If we separate these two use cases, I would be happy with the following minimum behaviour:

  • One column should do it.
  • Option to not display the green (and maybe the yellow) icon, so that these messages stand out as a warning.
  • I can make the column so small, that only the icon is shown and the score value disappears. But this would require Icon as column header #21.

So this simplifies to have a way to not show the green (or yellow) icon!

The score ranges can now be displayed or hidden individually.
