I think Lion Mail is more about mail content than resource monitoring and control. IMHO like folder view vs. device notifier. But I have to admit I didn't have a look at Lion's capabilties yet. Also see below. > i also wonder about the intersection of IM, social websites (facebook, > twitter) and email, though that is probably going a bit too far too > quickly. I was addressing mail in particular because it is the one biggest need for good interaction points due to its requirements such as network bandwidth, not wanting to fetch POP3 mails from more than one computer at once, etc. Since mail is only but one data type handled by Akonadi this would also be useful for, e.g. stopping/starting connections to a calendar server or remote calendar file, but I making it work properly for mail has priority. I actually wrote a basic data engine about a year ago [1], but didn't have time to follow up on this myself.
