- eltoozero 9y agoYou're looking at a file browser from BeOS. The file-system in BeOS can operate as a database, so files can have attributes and metadata baked alongside them natively. The mail-client operated as a daemon running in the background periodically fetching and writing entries to an OS folder that was a searchable database with to, from, subject, body, and time stamp as "fields" abstracted "magically" to the window view.
