Boris makes some suggestions. I totally agree that the problem is a big one, and although there is some activity in the area (Boris points to some of this), it doesn’t seem like that much of what is being done is very innovative. Hopefully Tiger will address some of this stuff, with its reinvigorated search and updated Apple Mail. In theory it should be possible to implement a tagging system in Tiger that will leverage both Mail and the new search services.

Exactly what do people want to do with email? I read mine and, usually, dump it, unless it’s business and then, archive it.
