#2I want the opposite.
When I receive a mail, I want to set a timer saying: "this needs to be answered before noon", or "today" or "by the end of the week". Then get relevant reminders.
That way I can go back to whatever I was doing and have it out of my mind. For now I just star messages that need to be replied to, but that's too coarse-grained.

#3Couldn't you just give those conversations an Unreplied label? It will show up on the left.
Gmail's labeling system is probably the most useful but overlooked feature they have.

check out http://www.boomeranggmail.com/ it lets you do that.
you set a time when sending the email, e.g. 3pm Friday and can check a box so if they don't respond by this date, it will bump it to the top of your inbox.

#6In my email, I have "Waiting for reply" and "To reply" labels (besides a few others). An algorithmic solution to auto-apply the labels would be nice (currently all new outgoing emails are labelled as "Waiting for reply").

#7You can just build an extension or addon. I don't see revenue for that kind of model (the only possibility is that someone makes a dashboard aggregates data from multiple accounts, multiple providers). You can try to achieve this with the help from reusing https://github.com/KartikTalwar/gmail.js or similar attempt.

Sure.
But that doesn't take care of the issue of automatically labeling messages as such.

I agree. Use mailbox, it's extremely useful.
