Thunderbird user here. I wish you hadn't said that. I'll be forever missing this now :(
Having just one Big Ol' Container of Email and making views on that, based on whatever properties/tags like which project it's for, which customer, whether it's marked as spam by the system or by you, a keyword match, or sorting it higher if I'm in To instead of CC... yes please! Am I picturing right how this worked?
- phs318u 2y agoOutlook has this and I've been using it in a work context for many years. Create custom tags for domains and or projects, tag email, notes, meetings with as few or as many tags as you like, and create handy 'Search folders' which are basically a view on a query (you can use other query terms beyond tag of course). The actual email just goes into big ol' "Archive". I gave up on folder heirarchy many years ago precisely because some emails map to multiple issues/domains/projects.
