I mostly don't like it.

The left sidebar pops open, thats great!

However, read messages now have a lifeless grey background. The archive buttons have been replaced with icons. I can now only see half the amount of messages per screen due to the increased spacing.

Its disappointing.

Yeah, i have to say mostly when new UIs are introduced i generally like or prefer them, but this time round im not too happy.

Individual email threads are much harder to distinguish and due to the increase in information its harder to concentrate on the actual email body itself.

Just found how to adjust spacing - click on the gear in the upper right, and choose 'compact' from the display density. I'm much happier now that I've found that.
