Just Leave It The **** Alone
My idea is just leave our email alone. Don't mess with something that works just fine. We are already bombarded on a daily -- sometimes hourly -- basis with insults and assaults on our institutions and rights from the Highchair King in the not-so White House without having to cope with some battery of changes that you all think are a "good idea" that "will make our lives easier" when in fact all your "improvements" will do is cost us time and frustration trying to figure them out and reconfigure our email systems to fit into your preconceived notion of what is better and/or best.
So just stop it. Leave things as they are. We have all gotten used to things as they are. So for God's sake just let us live with things as they are. And if you must fiddle with something, go try to improve on your user interface.
