Two things that I can think of off the top of my head:

    * Unthinking interface for lazy (in the un-Perlish sense) users like me
who ingest graphical data more quickly than textual -- especially between
01:00 and 03:00, which is typical slurp time for my @moodindigo.com mail.

    * At-a-glance display of *all* folders and quantitative feedback
concerning their size and state. Britta made some good observations about
this in her message, especially about tree displays. I like 'em.
