Simply, we need to be able to check our sent mail. There are many reasons, all of which i will not go into now, but it would be next to the compose button in the mail tab. There are no possible reasons I can imagine why people would oppose this.
I know this has been asked for before, but I have an addition to the idea of chat tabs. If we shortened the chat height maximum by one line then we could fit some tabs at the top. There we can switch between chat channels. On each tab there would be a box we can check off if we want to be able to see chat from that channel it in the bottom left corner of our screen. There would be a [ ]Chat* [ ]Zone [ ]Trade [ ]Guild and maybe more or less depending on where you are (such as the clockworks or haven for example). There could also be a [ ]Pick-ups that displays the grey text of all of our pickups that can clog chat in the clockworks. The tabs, similarly to the chat scroll bar, will gray out when not in use or hovered over.
*I can't think of a name for the tab for regular speech that appears in normal white and blue speech bubbles
Now about the /afk command. When we use /afk it autoresponds to pms, but it would be helpful if when we are sent not only pms, but party invites and trade requests as well. This way, people know the reason someone isn't responding to their invites or whatever.

+1 to all.
You have the bases covered on this suggestion.
