Re-Designing the classic email client

I like the idea of creating actions from within your email client. Integration with some project management tools like pivotal or trello would really smooth off this part of my workflow.

at the risk of sounding like a broken record, when I read the 'actionsteps' section I immediately thought of TSW. http://www.thesecretweapon.org/

the idea behind it is is that we don't rely on the inbox for our todo list - which is what we all tend to do! because, email isn't designed as a todo list and neither are any email clients I've used :P

Both Evolution and Thunderbird with the Lightning plugin has right-click → convert to task. Lots of room for improvement, but it works.

This guy has teeny tiny letters hardcoded into JPGs on his web site. I can't read it.

Fortunately, this means I can disregard what he has to say about UI/UX. Sometimes the medium IS the message.

I love this concept.

I'm curious how well this would work for multiple projects, a blend of personal and work email, and high-volume inboxes. Seems like it'd really need some type of labeling in addition to the actionsteps.

Hopefully I get some free time this week, I might look into building some of this. Looks like fun.
