re: Writing a GNOME mail client.

[Kris Braun <kabraun uwaterloo ca>]

Hi all,

One concept that I would more than love to see in such a mail client is
the seperation of the "read" status and "done" status of messages. What I
mean is that many mail programs let you highlight unread messages, or file
read messages away, but what I really need is some sort of flag that gets
set only when I'm done whatever action that email requires (a reply,
usually).

Then on the topic of views, there could be a view that would show pending
emails (those not marked done) from all folders. That way, even if they're
filed on arrival, you can still get an idea of which emails need action.

That would simplify my life greatly!

Kris
