@pavel, you’re right, very close. My idea was originally for Entourage but I figured it would have a broader appeal in GMail. I added your link to my blog post.

There is the Etacts extension, doing something very similar to what you mentioned. The placement is suspiciously close to what you mocked up…

I could live without the tick box if spamming is the concern preventing it from being implemented. Any auto-tickler based on lack of reply would prevent a ton of dropped threads.

@QuadZilla: Do you see the tick box?

All you guys who say it’s a spam machine must miss the point:

It reminds YOU the sender of the original email if no one has replied in time X. How is that a spam machine?

I would love to have that feature ^__^ !!!!!!

On a side note…..not even with the back button fixed, I would use hotmail.! It needs mayor fixes!

Looks like a classic spam machine to me, but a great tool if used for honest business, wink;

I would definitely use this feature! I took a look at followUp.com, pretty slick but I think I would like the feature in the actual mail client vs having to remember to cc or bcc the service.

I would actually prefer the reverse… a way for incoming messages to be automatically remarked as unread if you haven’t replied within a week.

Seriously, I forget to e-mail people back all the time. I could use a timely reminder.
