#5I had the same idea just last week...
I think it is a great idea given the amount of mail i send and have to deal with. many times i just forget to make sure i received a reply, and sometimes when i do its just too late.

#6That has to be the WORST lower-case 'f' ever. I had to make sure my laptop screen wasn't on the fritz.

#7That's one of the things that etacts (http://www.etacts.com) does. Though when this was discussed here a few weeks ago in
http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1144560 a lot of people seemed unhappy about it being an external service that needed to permanently store your gmail password.

#8I already do this with five labels, one for each day of the week. A plugin would be far sexier and save me 10 seconds for each sent email, but the overhead I have right now is more than worth it.

#9Only if somebody build a anti-anti-shelving filter. I get enough offers from various places that I don't like as it is.

#10Funny I had been planning to build something like this. My idea was that you would forward an email to the service and just type in the start of it when you want the reminder. Using some simple NLP you'd be able to write something like "next week" or "on Monday" and the system would then email you back when it wanted to remind you.
No need to have your gmail password, or even be gmail specific.
Is there anyone out there who would use this? Enough yeses and I'll build it.
