I can't comment on how this interacts with IMAP requirements, but I agree that Eudora's ability to queue messages for later, even a specific time, was great. I often went into my Out box to add something to a message I'd queued, and was glad I could do that. I detest the Drafts/Sent dichotomy - I don't write drafts of email messages, so the only time something is in Drafts is while I'm actually writing, which means it's a whole "mailbox" that never contains more than a single message. What a waste of conceptual and physical UI space. In Gmail, I adore the Undo Send feature from Gmail Labs because it lets me get just a little closer to have Eudora's queue capability. I often think of something else a message should contain just after I've sent it, and as long as it's within 10 seconds, I can edit the message and resend. cheers... -Adam Look into my head; follow me on Twitter. http://twitter.com/adamengst _____________________________________________________________________ Adam C.
