Here is my wish list: ;-)
Outstanding spam protection
RSS support. I have a cool idea with this:
Imagine I am subscribing to a mailing list that also interest my colleagues. I could set a rule that would move all the e-mails from the mailing list to a given folder and then let my colleagues subscribe to the content of this folder. It could reduce the amount of bandwidth involved in subscribing to mailing list with heavy traffic (like the Linux kernel list)
It would be nice to have folders subscribing to RSS feed
A rich scripting language: I want to be able to trigger actions when event happen. And not only with e-mail:
When a task is completed, an e-mail may be sent and the task moved to an archive folder.
When I put my "Out of Office" message on, subscription to my mailing list could be suspended.
I want support for regular expression. It goes with the rich scripting language.
I want a section where I can jot down notes while on the phone. I want to be able to attach to these notes a date/time, contact name, keywords. And I want them to be fully indexed and searchable.
I want to be able to subscribe/post to Usenet newsgroup. The scripting language should be able to deal with this.
I want to interact with a "map server": If I have an appointment, i want the appointment item to include a map showing me how to go there if I don't know already.
Finer grain archiving. In Outlook, you can only set your criteria based on time: Archive items older than 3 weeks. I want to be able to say: Archive items older than 3 weeks and those bigger than 200K except those from my boss with an attachment or those from Joe and Bob including the word "Urgent" in the subject line.
I want to be able to assign metadata to any entries/items.
