An email client for gmail is not an email client. It's a Gmail client.

fair enough, outlook will be coming soon.

Would love to pick your brain on what would make for a great email client

Actual email support. IMAP/JMAP and SMTP.

IMO it's misleading to call it an email client when it does not do actual email. Making your Gmail client also-an-Outlook-client does not make it an email client.

> (...) what would make for a great email client

I have a fairly non standard use of email, so I'm a bad target for brain picking. I can give a summary, though.

I work generally using a simplified GTD. Important features which I already have are good integration with my calendar and todoist as well as keyboard only navigation. Email analysis features I'd like to have are classification of:

- messages where my action is required;

- message classification by project;

- how long will it take me to handle this message (i.e. do it now vs add to todoist)
