>> Worst is the fact that email forces users into a LIFO queue and doesn't allow for import-based ordering. > I'm not sure what you mean here. Are there clients that don't allow reverse sorting by message date? That sounds like a broken client. That people don't use the feature is another matter... LIFO and FIFO are the only real sorting options. I want drag and drop of "this is top priority, this is second, this is third" that doesn't get pushed down when new mail comes in. Email is used as a processing queue, but at the volume most of us receive advanced ordering is desirable but impossible -- I want to look at my email and see the top five things I have to do then the new messages not vice versa. Email as a consumer is currently "OK" but I'd like to see it upgraded to "good."
