Wow. That was well put :) Really. Sounds like a very reasonable way of
doing it. You could have these preferences:
After sending mail
- only store mail in Sent
- store mail in Sent and if reply store it in the same folder as the
original message
- store only new (non-reply) mails in Sent. All replied mails go into
the same folder as the original message only.
That would also mean that if you have moved a thread out of the
original folder (as you have thought it is done), then any new message
is getting something like a new ticket, which is actually right as you
considered the old message to be done.
Then it would be nice if there would be a right click option "Search
for related thread in new window"
Another idea that a friend of mine had was that you always store all
e-mails together with an address book entry. That way you really see
communications, but that is a little bit overdoing it in my mind, but
I thought I'd mention it here.
