Can someone please finally build an email client/service that does not suck. Features I don't need but all the hipster email clients offer:
- Unified Inbox. I want to keep business and personal email separated.
- Procrastinate (snooze email).
- Zero inbox = emails as task list. Pointless to click all these valueless automated emails, just informing you that your email was received or you have just bought something, etc.
- Grouped, but still only one list, increases clutter. (Some even showing the same email in multiple places.)
- I never move to trash or move to archive, because I don't want to loose the categorization by folders. Instead I flag important emails, so I can hide all others.
What most people need:
Organization by folders: Personal, Business, Newsletters, etc. Hide emails in place, flag important emails, easily filter to see only flagged, unread, both, received files, etc.
Further:
- Choose my correct sender address when I reply (like Apple Mail).
- Same view and features on all devices.
- Only 1 reply button. In the compose view a button to toggle Reply Sender / Reply All (like Apple Mail). Warn unobtrusive if the recipient list is very long or probably a mailing list.
- Button to toggle included attachments while replying (default: without attachments) or forwarding (default: with attachments) (like Apple Mail).
- Follow up: Remind me tomorrow, next week, month or at date.
- Link to an email in my inbox. (Like Apple does with message:-Links since 2007 on Mac OS X.)
- Remove attachments was important when I had only 1 GB email storage, to keep the message without files.
- Easily switch off accounts: For example business email account after business hours, personal account while working hours.
- WYSIWYM (structured text) with images and tables, but without formatting each single character, especially when pasting text.
- Send later.
- Recall email (technically only possible within the same mail server, but possible if sent out with delay; it would also a good workflow for better email content to first put it in the outbox where you have to review it before manually sending out.)
