Interesting. Looks more mac specific than I was thinking.
My musings on interesting areas:
* I don't care about IMAP/POP/all that stuff. Mail comes in via SMTP, goes out via SMTP.
* Messages go straight into postgres
* There's gold in them thar messages headers - there's a lot of structure hidden in there that gets ignored, it must
be possible to do something interesting.
* GTD motivated one-message-at-a-time, file/reply/mark to reply later.
* There must be something interesting you can do with automatic email classification.
* Only client is webmail.
* Unashamed focus on people who need to manage 500 messages a day.

Looks as though the project is going to be called 'Letters App' and the president is John Gruber.
