Agree.  As "groupware" developer who maintains a CalDAV/etc... server I
can think of so many ways such a feature can go sideways [and likely
does in GMail's case, but for whatever reason the G can get away with
anything - even breaking long recognized standards].

Agree - USE TASKS.  I have this fight with users constantly: the abuse
of the INBOX.  E-mail is a messaging platform and one's INBOX is
exactly an INBOX; for events, tasks, notes USE calendars, tasks, and
notes (aka: journals).   Those other components of Evolution are
robust.
