The problem with this is that it isn't a model of an inbox -- it's a model of a to-do list to which anybody but you can add items. What you really want to do is process an email into something besides an email -- by quickly responding to it, by rephrasing it as a to-do item, by trashing it, or by 'hitting snooze' and getting a reminder in a day or a week.
Your inbox is for messages; it's a way to see what people are saying to you. As messages leave the inbox, they should be transformed into something that tells you what people want from you.
- nebula 18y agoI have been wanting this functionality for my mailbox since quite sometime. I managed to get a very small fraction of it done in Thunderbird through tagging and filters. I pretty much generate a Todo list out of the messages by tagging. But I want more: reminders for these items; setting a deadlines and the amount of time it takes to finish items so that they will get auto-arranged and they present themselves when I have to pay attention. It should not be that hard to get this done by integrating calendar right into the inbox. I have thought of doing this as a Thunderbird add-on, just haven't gotten around to doing it.
