Comment on Remark: The most efficient inbox in the world?parent

Comments

If you want the plugin that bad...build it. Regarding the threads, that just sounds like it would add confusion. How do you respond to a specific email/reply in one of your threads? Also, to me, the problem in email doesn't lie in the emails you receive on a regular basis from the same people. It's all the other emails.

5 years of trying to program has resulted in nothing. I can't. I want to but I can't. I've wasted enough time trying to learn. Not everyone can be a programmer (although programmers disagree).

"How do you respond to a specific email/reply in one of your threads?"

You just reply to it, it still has a subject. It's just that in your inbox all the emails (regardless of subject) are grouped under the sender you're communicating with.

Here's what your inbox would look like:
