Things I might find interesting in an email client or environment. Raw thoughts.
- fast search
- search inside encrypted emails
- get related and linked stuff easily at any time during reading
- easily organise windows and content, e.g.
- when you select to reply to an email, put the draft next to the original so that you don’t need to switch windows
- use a consistent style when commenting inline
- easily create tasks and notes from parts of emails
- organise / order following user’s workflow
- by people, topic, tone of content, project, task, event
- integrate with business process(es)
- suggest while typing
- spelling and grammar
- references to other emails / notes / events / conversations
- people to include as recipient
- named entities
- expansions of abbreviations
- different tone of text by using templates
- replacement text
- find and use embedded machine-actionable information
- explain what the client did to your experience
- log observations and following actions by the mail user agent
- show the reasons for suggesting stuff
