When "mail.google.com" loads (the "inbox view") the emails from people in my crm/social networks should be "glowing" or "jumping out at me". I LOVE your guys' product as is, but won't you really be maximizing efficacy by splitting the inbox into two "virtual" inboxes: one being messages to me from outside my crm/social network and two being those messages from people already in my crm/social network.
If you add this feature, not only will you meet your desired target demo use case but open yourself to the use case for average consumers who would like to only see gmail emails from facebook friends (and ignore the rest, aka SPAM). In this case I'd recommend your web app living a "dual-brand" life and branch development (if i had to guess this would double your odds of being acquired by Google, Google know's email's on it's last leg so if your app can bridge the old to the new (Google Wave) for both consumers and business users than whats a few hundred million to nab them up? lol)
Good luck! Thanks for rapportive!

Do you guys agree? (that the "inbox view" would be the "killer feature" of this app)
