A new "feature" is a space hogging "Quick Filter" toolbar. You can disable it, but if you do you totally lose the ability to filter your messages. And even with it enabled, you can no longer select how you want to filter your messages (subject, sender, date, etc.) I don't know which brainiac thought this one up, but now I'm going to have to squander some of my waning life force figuring out how to go back to the earlier version of the program.

Living on the bleeding edge, eh Corliss lol pay the price. Btw, there is very little in TB3 that you can't do in TB2 with add-ons.
