What I would like is something more like the newsreader I use now (Thunderbird). Users create items in a nested hierarchy without having to create folders to store subitems. I can view the hierarchy and decide where I want to jump in and open up the detail or easily add detail at the appropriate nesting level (through a reply). Chris Withers wrote:

What overhead is this?
If folders are used to create the hierarchy, the user must first create a folder to hold the subtasks for "Pick up cleaning" and then enter the two subtasks.
How would they do it otherwise?
I'd rather just directly create a subtask because that eliminates the step to create a folder.
Well, if they directly create a subtask, where do they put it?
Viewing will also be cleaner because you never the a folder obscuring the subtasks.
How does a folder obscure the subtask?
