Restructuring email discussions
Ever get stuck on a long-winded email thread that you don't really care about, but can't get off the list (or don't want to unsubscribe temporarily)? Too much effort to make up a rule? (And don't want to risk losing mail after the conversation finally dies but you forget to remove the rule?)
How about saving mail? Pain to search through it. Can't save it all. It's not categorized unless you're pathological about separating (and then it's a lot of work).
Why not filter all your mail through a special passthrough server? It stores messages like articles, lets you use it like IM when you want to, lets you ignore messages for later/delete messages/delete spam/save permanently/categorize/get notification/share(forward)/display to public(mail lists)/and more. Works like a discussion server with transport over POP/SMTP (optionally SOAP -- with app support).
