GMail makes me feel so good
GMail is the closest I've ever been to email nirvana. Labeling (much like tagging - a la del.icio.us) is more intuitive than foldering emails. The search is fast and sophisticated. I have a system for using my email to Get Things Done, and honestly it is much easier with GMail than it was using a desktop mail program. If I could add a few more things, it would make my GMail life much simpler.
I would like to:
- use keyboard shortcuts for "label" and "remove label."
- define "canned" searches. For example, I want to find all messages having label "a" but not label "b" just by clicking a link.
- use keyboard shortcuts to perform those "canned" searches
- define macros for repetitive operations. For example, I want to remove label "a" and apply label "b" with a menu and/or a keystroke.
- see some statistics - who am I getting the most email from? how much am I writing and to whom?
- group conversations or break up conversations by hand
- find "similar" conversations
- schedule messages to be sent (send myself an alarm later?)

I'll have to start using the web app more. I've just been using Mail.app in order to access gmail, because I'm familiar with it.
