Would you mind attaching a screenshot and proposing what manage actions should be available?

Move these up

To here

Them being in a submenu is just… ugh!

"Refile" shouldn't be removed, but it should certainly be renamed.

If you select emails in a given folder (i.e., inbox), then the relevant action is called "Move". Why would it be "Refile" on the message view..? This word is probably meaningless for the average person, and I haven't seen it used in any of the competing email apps. "Move" is the standard term.

Then, there's the fact that the same actions within "Refile" can be added directly to the top bar as icons for faster access. However, the option within the settings doesn't make it clear that they'll be added to the top bar directly. This should be clarified.

Lastly, the archive action/icon should be added to the top bar as default. Again, that is the default across the majority of email apps. Archive is a widely used feature.

The actions within refile should all be top level, it's taking far too many clicks to perform simple common actions. Telemetry would support that but it's unavailable for now 🥲

Not sure if that helps, but you can add the actions you use the most directly to the top bar (right next to the delete icon):

1. Hamburger button on the top left to open the navigation drawer
2. "Show accounts" at the bottom of the drawer
3. Cog icon to access the settings
4. General settings
5. Display
6. Scroll down to the "Messages" section
7. Tap on "Visible message actions", and enable those you want added to the top bar
