Email is such an indispensible tool nowadays. As opposed to the late nineties, where email started to gain ground, we are nowadays dealing with much more messages, message categories (including spam and bacn), as well as social email conventions (e.g., when should you cc someone?).

Email clients, however, have not evolved as much as emailing itself has. Most people are either struggling with an overflowing inbox, or with an onslaught of category folders. It’s time for a thorough review of what an email client should do.

IBM did so, back in 2003. They called it ReMail. I’m still waiting for the launch.
