Since Gmail? What new did Gmail bring to email users exactly?
Gmail introduced conversation threading, gigabyte storage, speed, powerful search, and lots more no?

for me: what is that "a lot more"? I just want to learn something new (btw, labels/tags are not really new, just redesigned imap folders)
Personally I find this quite useful and it definitely improved the way I use email.
I think largest email innovation is right now happening at KDE with integration of KMail into rest of the desktop.

That would be my top feature in gmail.
Email didn't evolve with Gmail. Only the UI evolved. It could be suggested that Wave was a revolution rather than an evolution, and that was its greatest weakness. I'm sad that it's gone.
Not completely gone, it still exists as Apache incubator project : http://incubator.apache.org/wave/

I believe this existed before gmail
> gigabyte storage
was not a tech problem before
> speed
in what way? the ui was and still is as fast as most lightweight desktop clients
> powerful search
maybe, although some clients supported powerful search with regex before
I think gmail was not that innovative, but it did bring everything together very well, in a very user-friendly way, along with some new-ish stuff like tags and the no need to delete anything.
