+1  visual noise and smaller screens are an issue.

I wanted to allow a lion mail like workflow with the initial page. Therefor
it would be good to offer these buttons with just one interaction (in this
case tab) and not two. I was also thinking about enabling
delete/important/unread/open actions by sliding the list item left/right
half/complete but I don't know if/how I can make that work/consistent with
the general app navigation (swiping left/right for next/prev page).

* in the editor the sidebar is on the right rather than the left like every

the sidebar in 1 and 2 is for navigation/browsing that will give you
another main area while the sidebar in 3 (editor) is for interaction with
the main areas content. I could make the sidebar in 1 and 2  use the same
background as the main area (like the pagerow in bodega client)
to make this even more evident.
