This resonates with me as well, I've been somewhat uncomfortable with
how things are but haven't really thought much beyond that. Separating
view and filter makes sense to me.
Also, I like the idea of putting a separate toolbar for the table view
("table toolbar"). The way I see it, the current All, Mail, Tasks,
Calendar buttons could become two: Table and Calendar. And the Table
Toolbar would have Task, Event, Mail and Note filters that you could
select singly or in any combination. Heck, if you wanted to go fancy you
could create and apply custom filters.
