Mail · Reading

A conversation,
not fifty messages.

Messages threaded into the conversation they belong to, folders you organise the way you work, and attachments handled as first-class things rather than an afterthought on the message.

Mail is judged on reading, not sending. Most of the time is spent finding something.

Reading

Threads and folders.

ThreadingThe exchange as one conversation rather than eight entries sorted by time.
FoldersYours to create and organise, with messages moved between them.
AttachmentsRetrievable on their own, because "which email had the invoice" is the actual question.
Managing

The operations that matter daily.

Message actionsRead, moved, deleted — the operations a mail client lives or dies on.
TrackingWhether a sent message was opened, where that is wanted.
Finding it

Search, sync and headers.

SearchAcross the mailbox rather than the folder you happen to be in.
Folder syncPer folder or a full refresh, for when the server and the client have drifted.
Raw headersAvailable on a message, which is what you need when the question is why something was flagged as spam.
Move and markThe operations that keep an inbox from becoming a list.
