Hi,

since the whole Snowden/NSA sadness started I find my thoughts returning
to views every so often, and why gmail's views work well while aox'
views are not usable.

I've known they aren't usable for a while, but not been able to find out
why. After all, they can do everything.

But maybe it's simple: They're just too flexible. It seems much easier
to do someting useful if views can be restricted to be like in gmail:
"Archive contains all the threads in in mailbox x where at least one
message has the archived flag", "Inbox contains all the messages in
mailbox x where at least one message does not have the seen flag", etc.

Correct me if I am wrong. PLEASE correct me if I am wrong. Are any of
you actually using views and getting something useful out of them?

Arnt
