Dislike

By default, the overview of quarantained emails shows only the most recent week worth of emails. But the summary counts how many there are altogether. So the summary could show 2, then I click into it to review and see only 1. Then I have to remember: oh yeah, it's limited by date and won't show the other until I happen to find the lower cut-off date that includes the other one. Let's start hunting!
