Great idea I thought about apps. But preview of lenses is also not bad.
But combining both of this would be confusing wouldn't be?
Also lenses aren't a good place to display things like mails... Opening
Thunderbird directly would be better.
But I considering this idea for further improvements ;)

I improved my idea this way:
Sorry some names are in German ;), forgot to change system language, but
I think everybody should be able to understand it though

If you click on Apps or Files the filter options for this lenses are
shown and the fitting lens with the right filter displayed.
If you click on system you'll get some possibilities, more could be
added, but I wouldn't bloat it to much.

Finally we could make a widget for notes, connect it with u1 and we have
a replacement for tomboy^^
