the setup wizard will just take the username and password and thats it.

what will the wizard do is:
1. connect to Gmail using POP or IMAP
2. better address-book sync
3. auto connect with Google Calendar
4. auto connect with Google Tasks(i don't know if there is API available for that)

Not too hard, could be a simple option on the initial startup screen.

Yes, I know this idea is about GMail, but we might as well add the same type of support for Live Mail and AOL, which both offer POP access as well.

I love how in the browser Gmail the conversations are put into those handy little "Conversation threads"

I'm not sure about you guys, but I would even use evolution till the conversation threads are in.

Introduction:
An online account management application (OAMA) should be created. This application would have a simple interface and will store authentication information for various online accounts (google, hotmail, etc). In addition to basic account information, it could also store common preference associated with such accounts eg.
- IMAP vs POP
- which email account is the default
- whether to use a given account for any/all of email, chat, calendar
- whether to set the account up in the browser (eg. create bookmarks and save user/password information for the relevant site)

Whenever a Communications Application (ComApp) such as a email (eg Evolution, Thunderbird), chat (eg Empathy, Pidgin), calendar (eg Evolution, Sunbird), etc is launched for the first time it should either
1. Take existing settings that were set within the OAMA and auto-configure itself accordingly
2. If the OAMA has never been launched, the ComApp should invoke it first

ADVANTAGES:
- Once the OAMA has been run, any ComApp should be able to be launched with zero initial configuration and be usable
- Single point of configuration for all ComApps

In other words, there should be a 2 way sync between the OAMA and all ComApps It might be worth considering having the OAMA run as part of the Ubuntu install process.

If you sync .gconf/apps/evolution, it keeps Evolution in sync across computers. On the U1 website, simply add a parser for the gconf file, and boom. Instant setup, and if U1 ever feels like giving us webmail... Like solution 8.

Gmail has a great "Archive" function that I can clear unimportant things from "Inbox", while keeping them in a place called "All mail" for later search.

Please make this part of the Gmail-integration.
