Suggested Situation:
--------------------
an intelligent solution, a mix of:
1- forum server, with a web interface, and tree hierarchy of different subjects interrelationship.
2- mail client to receive only notifications of others replies and link to the forum subject discussion.
3- I create the subject in the forum for example, and invite others to either see, or elaborate.
4- Or: I receive an invitation to see or elaborate in my notification in-box, so I go to the forum via the link, and post my visit or elaboration in the forum, in a new post, so the server will send a notification to the concerned persons of the subject.
5- notification in-box is cumulative, so no need to see a new notification every time someone post a reply in the forum, instead, it is only the subject of my interest gets a once I go to the forum, the indicator goes off.
6- I can attach any type of documents/files inside the forum to my post.
7- back end might be Mysql or sqlite so, a full backup will be always there and nothing will be lost.


Further features of email:
--------------------------
1- Calendar, and scheduling events can be shown as a list of events.

Get rid of: ------------ 1- no emails need to be stored locally. 2- Hard-disk failure does not mean any data loss of my emails. 3- forgetting to add someone in the loop, means that I have to search all the forks of the subject and forward them to him, instead I send the link to him for once and he will find all the previous communications of the subject. Search engine: -------------- instead of searching the in-box/out-box, a forum search engine could be used to avail the feature, also, subjects will be very limited so anyone can find all posts in a single intra-net web page, single instance of the discussions, and no need for repetition. Finally: -------- since long time ago open source skipped cloning others, and started to create its own open standards, I am sure this is a small shell on your creativity ocean beach.

A different window could appear (hopefully faster than the "evolution setup assistant" window does).

It could offer 3 options:

1- to open Hotmail, Gmail... you name it.
2- to configure Evolution
3- to copy the email adress (so you can paste it later on)

If you choose option 1, you could be asked if you want to automatically perform this action next time.

This would be something as opening a file with a file type.
The first time it could be or not configured, lets assume unconfigured. Then it would ask what to do, present the options. It would also have a choice of what to do next time which could be set to any of the options and an always 'show dis dialogue' or something like that.

If there has been already a choice (by the distribution provider or the user in a previous question) then it would use this choice.

It's sort of a combination of Solution #1 and #2.

By pressing a button at the top left corner, Ubuntu is both a e-Mail app, a Calendar app, an Address Book app, and a Task-list app and a "small-memo" app. Each functionality should be separated in a different application.

Such a refactoring would have the following advantages:
- The user doesn't need to set up an email account and a POP service just in order to, say, write an entry in a calendar.
- Each application would have a nicer and more simple interface. The menus would contain less elements and with a smaller nesting.
- Simmilarly, you would get rid of the baroque preferences menu in evolution (side bar 6 options, each option average 5 tabs, each tab average 5 elements).

From the viewpoint of the developer, this would mean a more orthogonal design: each application could be modified and upgraded independently. And since the personal-internet applications evolves rapidly (twitter, Facebook, rememberthemilk, WebCal, etc...) it would be easier to adapt each application to its new working environment.
Also, you would have lightweight services for other applications: you don't load the mail for looking at your schedule, and you don't load the calendar for sending a document through email.

The only drawback would be that you could need to develop some "bridge" services (like Mail accessing AddresBook) but, on the whole, it would be an easier to use and maintain design.

For the average Joe it is almost impossible to configure an e-mail account due to technical terms in Evolution like "POP3" and "SSL". Configuring an account should be a little bit like the Empathy messenger: Select a network from a list (Gmail, MSN, Yahoo!, ...), type your user-name and password, and answer a few questions like automatic access or deleting messages from the server. Only advanced users should be prompted to the current GUI.

Many e-mail images are annoying, but it is more annoying having to select View/Message Display/Load Images from the menu every time you want to load them. It is more intuitive and eye-appealing to have the option just there next to the header: a button that says "Let me see the images" or something like that. Maybe the first time (and only the first) a message appears explaining the dangers of loading images.

Solution: It should be possible to sit Evolution in the notification area or better yet, hide the window when minimizing (i.e. not showing in the window list).

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.

important:
it must be possible to delete selected messages within the trash folder like you do in any folder, eg. by hitting DEL or rightclick-context-menu

optional:
you have to confirm that your messages will be deleted permanently.

SHIFT + DEL should also popup the confirmation

there could be an option within the "Mail Preferences" which lets you deactivate this confirmation.

alltogether this would make permanent deleting of messages flawlessly, very intuitive and userfriendly
