I don't see how the web stuff can be any simpler.
I view a single page, select the items I wish to keep, hit a single button, I am done and I don't have to clutter my inbox.
This discussion is all about how people work. Most people *DO NOT* work from email the way Alvaro and and some of the other hackers do.
I do not use email for todo lists, sending commands to servers, moderating lists. I use it for email, which is to say I communicate with people with it. I receive attachments of contracts I need to sign and requests for work.
When I open my email it is bad enough I have some spam to deal with, I don't want a bunch of emails that have nothing to do with my actual email cluttering my inbox. Administrative commands, for me -- belong in an interface that is separate from my business medium.
