Thanks for the pointer. It does sound quite similar. Having played with
Beagle a bit, I think they key difference is that I'm envisioning STS as
being the primary interface to your precious infos, whereas Beagle seems
more of a supplemental index of data that's primarily handled by other
apps.
This has a couple implications, including who's responsible for storing
the files (STS: STS; Beagle: you and your apps), and what the user
experience looks like (Beagle: use Thunderbird, then call up Beagle for
help; STS: browse everything through your client, starting with a
search for label "inbox", and call up other applications for handling
foreign mime types).
If anything, Beagle is closer to Sup classic, and STS brings us closer
to Gmail.
