Question: if one were to reimagine an email client for today, what would it look like?
For me:
- I don't want to pay a monthly subscription (but I will pay for software)
- Semantic search ("What's the confirmation number for my flight next week?")
- Automatic categorizing and tagging based on my behavior (I hate doing this manually myself and taking an "action" for every single incoming email.)
- Lightweight (memory/CPU), fast
- Everything is cached and available locally, including search
- A better UI for long meandering threads: today I just get completely lost, especially when some people on the thread use outlook and others use gmail
- Information dense
- Calendar sync: view all events I've had with a person
