Having a way to easily mark messages as "done" which has the side 
effect of getting them out of my site is my highest priority bar none.  
(Since starting at OSAF, I've started using a bunch of IMAP clients and 
NONE of them that I've found has a way to even kludge in this 
feature... and *boy* do I miss it!)

This is also a priority.  I don't know if we'll display grouped by 
thread or make it easy to get to thread-neighbors from a message, but 
I'm hoping we do both.

FYI, in Eudora, here's a way to fake the "done/not done" marker:
+ have your incoming filters set the Label but leave the messages in 
the inbox
+ sort the inbox first by label, second by date
+ have your manual filters move messages to their final resting place
When you go through your messages, if you are done with it, hit 
Control-J.  If you are not done with it, move to the next message.

This leaves all your "to-do" messages in your inbox, grouped.

The downside is that Eudora only has 15 (or is it 16?) Labels on the 
Mac and only a pathetic 7 on Windows.
