1) Read, Write, Attach, Forward and Reply. Like it's right now. Maybe a "Mark as done" although the current mailbox system can easily do that by using folders and having an "Archive" folder (oh wait, we already have all that)

2) Labels and stars get me there. Oh wait, that's already in email as well. And remember the priority flag that lets others indicate how important they think it is?

3) Anything, as long as I can decide what's important and what's not.

4) Let's just stick with email. If it doesn't work for you as it is right now, stop using that webmail client you use and get a proper client. Email has always worked fine for me.

5) I sure hope not. I like email as it is.

Bottom line: I really don't want email to change. It's pretty good as it is right now, and mail clients such as Thunderbird offer all functionality any new system is possibly going to offer. If email doesn't work for you, you're doing it wrong.
