Reply All

This option comes in handy since most of us typically open a message first and then hunt for the Reply All button.

Find emails from sender

Search for all emails from a sender, which is particularly useful to quickly access your history with that person.

Search subject

If conversation view is turned off (see image below), you will be able to search for all emails with the same subject for quick access to the thread's history.

Open in new window

Open multiple emails in multiple new windows at the same time, which is very useful in case you want to serially take care of different subjects without having to go back and forth.

And perhaps the most useful for those obsessed with mail classification: add a label or move an email, individually or in bulk.

Mark as Unread

This can make it easier to find important messages as you scan your inbox.

Snooze
