Hi everyone,

let me skip all the compliments about how great Evolution is and will be
(things like: great job, keep on working fine etc. :-)
You know that!

I'd like to suggest some features that were available for the best Mail
Client I was using back in 1998, Calyso Email.
I find these very useful and I wish they could be added to Evolution as it
would make it a better email client.

1) Calypso used to have a very advanced filter feature, that could let you
file your messages using "tags" to create automatically folders.
So, for example, using the tag "month", Calypso would create the folder
January and file under that all the mail received in that month.

Think about tags like month, day, from, account.
This is not possible at the moment with evolution as the "move to" option
in the filters/virtual folders does not allot to dinamically create folders.

2) An option that automatically choose which profile to send the email
from. I use evolution to send email to Customers a to Friends.
Sometimes I make the mistake of sending my personal email to Customers.
An option "Always send email from this account" on the Contact page, based
on category or other information would be really nice.

3) It would be very nice to be able to add a note to a mail messages I have
received. Sometimes we need to write down a little note which would help us
to keep track of customers-friends. This note could be related to the mail
message or to the person we are mailing with.

4) A way to quickly access to all the mail sent/received to/from the
contact we are writing to. Sometimes it's hard to find old emails we need
to read to best reply a customer.

I know this would take Evolution closer to come CRM concepts, and I don't
know if this is the direction you want to take.
I also know that there are some usability and consistency issues I'm
probably not aware of.

Please just take it as a contriubute, and as an attempt to help you in your
work

Thanks
Alessandro
