Actually, this isn't all bad.  You moved the "Back to INBOX" down to the line
with the action selection box.  This avoids a problem I see where the other
action links (delete, reply, etc) wrap around since I've so many things in
that line (about everything enabled, and when I get mailing list mail so the
"reply to list" stuff gets in there the line wraps).

Haven't tried it, but we could actually move the "Move|Copy" selection box
down to this line also (so it would have actions, move/copy, and 
back to inbox).  That would stop the subject line from wrapping so much,
which is also a pain as it causes the links to shift up and down based on
the subject line length...  Also, it would avoid a pet-peeve of mine which
is having two folder selection boxes directly above/below each other.  I 
don't know how many times I've selected the wrong folder selection box...
 
If anyone understands what I'm saying, try creating a mock-up.  I'll try
to get to it, but it may be days before I can find the time...
