Here's my thoughts on date/range syntax:
I think: date:monday should show only e-mails that arrived on
monday (not also emails that arrived since then.) Because that's
what it looks like it does.
I think a very common use of date ranges will be from some time
until now. So I'd like that to be easy. I suggest this syntax:
since:monday
which would be a shorthand for:
date:monday-00:00:00..now
If that's not a popular idea, then we should at least be able to
use this shorthand for the same:
date:monday..
Also, I think it's quite valuable to have "yesterday" work as a
date.
That's all.
