The problem with "Parking" in the Outbox is that it is abnormal and
non-intuitive. It is a difficult concept to explain to experienced and
novice users. I personally like it but it doesn't suit most users. It
is not even necessary to explain a Drafts folder to the users because
it is intuitive.

If you implement this nonsense you have lost me and all of my
customers that are your customers. Get over the "pride of authorship"
ego trip and make it work for the majority of people. It is not a
security issue. It is a user interface issue and it needs to work for
the users, not the programmers. I know this is blunt. It seems that it
is necessary and I have enough courage to say what needed to be said.
If you hate me but it makes TB! a better product, so be it.

Thank You Very Much!
