[MlMt] Inbox-as-todo-list

I continue to be impressed with MailMate.  Thanks for a great tool.

For on of my mailboxes I use Mailbox.app - a far less complete product 
than MailMate.  However, Mailbox.app has one feature I have grown to 
really appreciate. Mailbox.app let you to treat your inbox as a todo 
list. The way this works is that you can mark mail for processing 
“later today”, “tomorrow”, “next week”, or at a specific 
date.  Such mail are then removed for the inbox, to reappear at the 
selected time.  I find that this works wonders for having an uncluttered 
inbox (mailbox zero approach).

I also use this feature for mails I BCC myself, i.e., I put the BCC away 
and have it reappear in, say, 2 days, reminding me to follow up if there 
has been no reply.

I was wondering if there is a way to have a similar feature in MailMate, 
either directly built-in (ideal), or using an external tool.  I’m sure 
I would not be alone in finding this useful, and it would allow me to 
integrate all my mail in MailMate.
