First step of email actions

Just to have some feedback before going further
I don't see the point of why "it's bad because it's GMail". GMail has probably the best webmail UX around there and it'd be a pity to stick with old wrong UX choice (obviously it's an opinion :)). We could debate this all day long, but I suggest we just throw an email to the team with your arguments and mine, to get a team decision. What do you think?
