Dreaming of a perfect mail client

textmate100pxAllan Odgaard, creator of the excellent TextMate text editor has posted his wish list for a perfect email client.

His list includes threading, tagging, searching, email address mapping (e.g. switching to a Danish spell-checker when writing to someone with a *.dk address), message display and extensibility.

He sums up:

I know Apple’s Mail does most things for most people, is free, and comes bundled with the operating system. Heck, I mostly enjoy using it myself, despite its delightful quirks…

…But I do think there is a lot of power users out there, like me, who long for an email application which can be a little smarter in handling our email related tasks.

    Yes. My biggest gripe with Mail.app has always been that it doesn’t automatically switch to a Danish spellchecker…

    Smart threading would be nice.

    [...] Of course, there are some things that he doesn’t like. The perfect email client is yet to appear. In particular Mail’s Smart Mailboxes don’t seem so smart to him. [...]
