Folders that display their subfolders content. This problem is very inherently noticeable in Outlook while at work. There are 5 types of problems sent to 1 team distro. I filter these 5 types of problems, based on the Subject field, to a different subfolder of the team distro folder. When I view the team distro folder - I don't see any email. I need to click into the individual subfolders. If I create a Search Folder (which will let me see all search results from these 5 folders, effectively being what I want) it needs to be a Top Level folder and cannot, itself, be a Subfolder or reorganized. It will live under the Search Folders menu effectively thwarting my attempts at organization.
I would like to only be notified of new email that enters specific folders - rather than just an on/off where I am spammed with dozens if not hundreds of desktop notifications I do not care for. This way I don't need to keep my email always-visible to see when I get important email.
I would like extremely flexible organizational rules, again similar to Outlook.
All in a UI that gets out of my way and works well in portrait mode, as the few emails I get tend to be more longform and I like to reduce scrolling. I actually like Mailbird's [0] UI because I prefer icons over text labels for a tool I'm using frequently. Terrible UX (what do all these icons mean?) is something I'm willing to overcome as a power user. Using email/webmail clients reminds me of using IE6 with several toolbars installed to the point where I see more of IE's UI than I do the webpage I'm trying to browse. When I read emails I feel like I see more email client than I do email and that's aggravating.
