Separate System Messages in Mail Inbox

1 Requirements

By now, e-mails are separated in the “Overview” of the Personal Desktop in “System Messages” (i.e., automatically dispatched e-mails) and “Mail” (i.e., e-mails dispatched by a user).
However, this separation does not take place in the views of the “Mail” dialogue of the Personal Desktop, e.g., the “Inbox”.

The problem:
There is one main difference in the handling of e-mails dispatched by a user (“human” e-mails):
Often, you need to answer to them (while this doesn’t make sense with automated e-mails).
So, they need more awareness of the user and, thus, should be easily to find in the inbox.
However, the number of “system messages” is often quite higher than the one of “human” mails, so the latter ones are “hidden” among lots of automatically dispatched e-mails.

A solution would be to also separate e-mails in the “Mail” dialogue of the Personal Desktop, at least in the inbox. So, this view would contain two lists “Mail” and “System Messages”.
As both e-mail types can already now be separated in the “Overview” of the Personal Desktop, there should be some kind of suitable distinction criterion available.
