Someone setup the Gmane feed for the mail list (thanks!) so I was playing around with the new version of Panic's Unison. Gorgeous app. Was thinking that in some ways, this would be an interesting model for what letters could look like. The other interesting piece is that Unison is about filtering huge lists of stuff (usenet) which is similar to many power email users sifting through huge lists of mail. Someone should go down to Portland and make Panic do some UI mockups. :)
Couple concepts that seem worth exploration: * Column view is a good mode for navigating large email hierarchies. Could be arranged around folders, labels, senders, or timeline * Searching for "labels" or folders like the usenet groups could be useful (especially for Gmail users) * Putting folders/labels into the sidebar manually * Separate search mode * Toolbar on the bottom for what you are looking for. Unison uses it to separate files from messages. In email, could be with or without attachments, priority, flagged, or specific tags (if a tagging model is supported). * Ignore sender (useful for both spam and for trolls on mailing lists) * HUD style GetInfo box looks really cool (and appropriate). I was in favor of tabs but not so sure now. Maybe opening messages into separate tabs (like NNW does) but not sure about putting mail accounts into separate tabs. Andrew
