Live in search, not scroll
Keyboard search for names, phrases and numbers beats hunting visually. Pin the five conversations that define today, and let filters rather than memory drive the rest.
Quick replies for the repetitive 20%
Anything typed twice a day deserves a shortcut. Insert in under two seconds with Quick Replies; reserve templates for anything longer than a paragraph.
Unread discipline

Structure as speed
