Yeah, I was trying to solve that as well with my startup... Priority Inbox definitely implements a few of our "killer features". Will be interesting to see if we can compete with Google on this :)

Have you thought what your next startup is going to be about? :-P

I was actually already using my inbox as todo list with the Multiple Inboxes lab feature, using labels "Need Reply" or "To Do" for the emails and use filters to address them to the multiple inboxes.

I wish the shortcut keys (such as j and k) would reach down into the multiple inboxes. Unfortunately they only work on the top inbox.

Similar here. Second inbox is mailing lists, third is "other crap" - newsletters, email from Facebook, etc. - the kind of thing that I want to have available, but don't want to see most of the time.

Isn't Etacts trying to solve this problem?
