During the job search we email hundreds of people begging, pleading, bargaining for a shot. Many don't reply. Some say no. And a handful say to keep in touch. By the time we finally land a gig, we'll have amassed tons of "let's keep in touch" people.
It would be an interesting feature on Gmail if we could setup profiles for each email address that we've emailed. On the profiles we can have notes, stats on how often/how much you've contacted them, history of emails and so on. Also let's have a feature where you can tag each email you get from them so on the profile you can get a quick tag cloud that serves as a summary.
Call it Gmail+. I think there are other services that do this, but the problem is that we have to learn yet another interface and go through the process of setting things up again. It would be so much easier if it was on something we already use.
