What is different between old-style folders and archiving labeled gmails then clicking on the labels to see them? My inbox is as empty as I want it to be, my older saved email is organized the way I want it, and I get smarter "folders" that can "share" emails. I also use Outlook (for work) and the folders often frustrate me. I would like to organize many times across 2 or 3 overlapping but non-hierarchical dimensions (e.g., client, product, idea). Outlook does not support that. Windows doesn't either. And what I would give for labeling in Windows. The real-life use of folders is just as broken for me and many other paper-averse geeks. So it doesn't work as a metaphor for me either. ph ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! To post to this list .......
