After reading that Google is creating an email service, Gmail I started to think about what I wanted in my email client.
- MetaEverything: I want to be able to right-click on a mail message and tag it with meta data. This meta data will allow me to search/filter my mail.
- Multiple Folders: A message should be able to live in multiple folders. Folder heirachies are great until you realise that an entity wants to live in multiple paths
- Filter up: I want virtual folders which show all messages from sub-folders. E.g. if I click on Email Lists/Java it shows me messages from all of the lists (Email Lists/Java/JDO and Email Lists/Java/Groovy and …)
- Security: This isn’t just a client thing… but I wish everyone had digital keys and we were seemlessly using them in our email.
