I know this is in some ways a claim to be smarter than google, but I always feel like email clients just aren't up to it.
I have some fuzzy ideas on better webmail I plan to experiment with one day.

- mstevens 17y agoInteresting. Looks more mac specific than I was thinking. My musings on interesting areas: * I don't care about IMAP/POP/all that stuff. Mail comes in via SMTP, goes out via SMTP. * Messages go straight into postgres * There's gold in them thar messages headers - there's a lot of structure hidden in there that gets ignored, it must be possible to do something interesting. * GTD motivated one-message-at-a-time, file/reply/mark to reply later. * There must be something interesting you can do with automatic email classification. * Only client is webmail. * Unashamed focus on people who need to manage 500 messages a day.
