Sure.

I think chat windows is the main contact to D-STAR DV digital frames, so I'm not
sure I like to start D-RATS with mail view. By the way, mail and transfers are
the most used features, so I agree with your ideas.
You can made the mail window (or tab) starting with a fixed board made of:
- personals
- personal messages
- sort and group capabilities on date or type or sender
- ping requests
- file transfers (send/receive)
- images transfers (send/receive)
- position requests
- bulletins
- forms send to QST (why not?)
- special forms (main settings changes to manage this flag)
- others (what else???)
Let's go towards 0.3!!!
;-)
