Unblab is opening up for a beta test of their new service. It's basically a rethink of webmail interfaces and looks quite interesting. I have a gut feeling that the way we navigate in email now is closely based on the old textmode systems like Mutt, just a cronological order of subject lines. Sorting and filtering into lots of folders don't help much since you end up in a endless cycle of sorting and then viewing each of the folders. Some emails are critical and hugely important compared to others, many only serve as a log of what happened and in my case about 60-70% server as notifications about something recorded in ticket tracker. None of this is properly displayed in my current interface.

Anyway, looks interesting and I just signed up for hte beta scheduled for next year.
