Changes

Hey Thomas -- have you put all this information about UI and usage overhaul together? This is not less than GREAT (if not amazing) MIND-BOGGLING, and should get as much community attention as possible.

May Your above steps 1 through 4 actually are a '''complete revolution''' and redefinition of what an e-mail client actually should do. I add my screenshot visualizing some of your proposals KNOW that one day every proper e-mail client will be acting '''exactly''' like this (because mine, and probably yours as well below? http://home.arcor.de/david-peters/TB, does already; and since this is like "the invention of the wheel" to me ;).png

Although your article possibly points a long way into the future of e-mail, I hope that it won't take like 5 to 10 years to accomplish these fantastic features... Only thing is now, how can we carry this discussion into the brainstorming process of Thunderbird v.3, effectively? May I finally add my screenshot visualizing ''some'' of your proposals already below? http://home.arcor.de/david-peters/TB.png [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359270 Here] is btw. another related discussion about Threading threading and Unified Who Column.
