Problem you are trying to solve

Make more than two actions available via swipe in the message list.

Suggested solution

Change the action depending on the swipe distance, e.g. short left swipe "archive", long short swipe "mark as read".

Note: Before starting on an implementation we'll have to come up for a UI/UX design for this feature.
