Revolutionary. An outbox would be pretty nice.

  What's wrong with the already existing Drafts feature?
  • _delirium 16y ago
    I tend to use Drafts more for emails that aren't actually completed, and an outbox for emails that are completed but with one last chance for me to look them over before they go out.

      You can add labels to emails in the Drafts folder, so you could have an "Outbox" label if you wanted to.

  An interesting idea for a web-based email site. I don't think I've seen one (not that it really makes any sense, but I can see how some people would like it). Closest you have are drafts, which are pretty darned close, but it's not quite the same, no. I still fall on the "don't send it unless you mean to send it" side, however. My outbox is only used when I don't have internet access.

    Offline Gmail certainly has an Outbox. The main reason being you'll generally have no internet connection or a very flaky one. By product of it is that yu can indeed cancel emails after sending them. It wouldn't be a bad idea to use an Outbox for some people. Gmail could offer it as a labs feature and whenever you request or end your session/logout it would send your email... Removing email from an account once sent like above seems like a very bad user experience quirk.
