What about for those of us where email is not only the primary form of communication, but really the way we do our work. That is as a freelance web developer all my work comes in through email and goes out through email. It’s not so much noise surrounding my work but the work itself. I get photoshop files, feature requests, changes, modifications etc through email so processing that email is my work essentially.

I tend to live out of my inbox, it is my todo list basically and it doesn’t feel like there are very good tools for dealing with it in this manner and shifting it to another program or another context doesn’t really make a lot of sense. WHat’s really needed is a very smart way of leveraing email into your workflow a bit better. The idea that the new Mac Leopard OS is going to have To Do’s integrated into email is exciting but what to do till then?

Thoughts? Ideas?
