Both modes support archive and kill in some form. So I don't understand how this argues for splitting as opposed to consolidating the two modes. The need for preallocated, special-purpose labels like inbox and killed seems clear enough. However, minimizing the amount of magical behavior they exhibit also seems beneficial, if only for the sake of consistency. Treating the inbox as something other than an ordinary label search is magical. > It would be easy enough to add a "|" command to inbox mode that would > spawn a search buffer with label:inbox and the rest of your search > terms. A patch to add this command to inbox-mode appears in the August sup-talk archive. I would like to see this feature become part of the base system.
