I realized I'm not thinking in a flexible way about this.
Would there be a problem with keeping the IN and OUT collections in
the sidebar without changing the interaction behavior? In other words:
+ Allow users to make inclusions and exlcusions via Drag and Drop
and eventually Labeling when we support it
+ Allow users to create new items in the In and Out collections and
do what they want with them
+ Continue to support users sharing their In and Out collections
Ok all of this sounds good and doable with out any issues or problems
that I can think of. However, what I would like to discuss further is
what happens mail items that are automatically added to the in
collection or out collection.
I would assume these items could be removed from the collections
event though the me address is a match. This could be done via
exclusions. Are there any other specific behaviors for the 'In' and
'Out' collections
that I should be aware of?
We've always had this idea that even with 'query-based'
collections, we wanted users to maintain control over the content
of the collection with inclusions and exclusions. I'm sure this
behavior will be confusing to users at first, just as the way in
which the contents of In and Out are defined will be confusing. But
with time, feedback and iteration, we'll figure out the right
solution. I was just nervous about trying to figure out the 'right
behavior' by Preview.
Ok I think we should proceed with the 'In' and 'Out' collections as
well and iterate as improvements are needed.

Hi Brian, Thank you for writing this summary. It's very helpful.
I don't see anything that jumps out me. I don wonder though if
for the sake of simplicity, we want to hide the In and Out
collections for preview.
Well I can't say that I completely understand that decision. To
me, it seems better to have at least a simplified version of the
In and Out collections that are read only then to have nothing at
all.
