Email is a linked list with lots of metadata on each node, messages are an array with minimal metadata. Although modern email clients can make email threads simple and easier to follow, the UI is still much more cluttered and sometimes threading gets borked.


I agree there is a separate but interacting issue that email UIs are mostly very bad, so people like to avoid email.


Curious, are you using GSuites? Because I had very negative experiences when it comes to reading/writing email with it.


I haven't found any interface I really like, although for fun I rolled my own (along the lines of mutt, which I haven't really tried).
