----> I didn't advocate literally making multiple copies of anything, digital or paper....just benignly pointing out that arguments about the crux of the "paper problem" being that paper dox are storeable only in one file/folders were not wholly accurate....I understand if we truly want to continue parsing out the metaphor even further, and literally breaking down what a "copy" means, you're right. But I was simply saying content can "appear" in multiple locations----and fortunately if it's an email it certainly doesn't need to be "copied." > (2) allow "labeled emails" to appear, or not appear, in your In Box. > > Gmail allows this. > > > My other gripe with gmail is around scalability/performance.

Hope no one else does either. Last week I had to sift through 1800 emails with multiple attachments. I searched on and pulled up only those emails with attachments, and started opening one email after another. Gmail hung and crashed several times. My computer and internet connection are extremely fast and responsive, so that wasn't the problem. Oh well.
