There is one thing which I have been missing for some time: The ability
to link emails and mail boxes in a more flexible way than a tree
structure. Some examples I think are relevant:
- Someone with separate tasks/jobs want to have a folder structure where
there is one "meeting" folder for each task/job, and a general "meeting"
folder which is the aggregate of all "meeting" folders of the user.
- Someone receiving an email which has a content that suggests it fits
into more than one folder should be able to view the email in each of
them. This can greatly reduce the time to find an old, but important
message which addresses several different issues.

Yours sincerely,
