I would go more for "make people read what I wrote, not what they want to read"

Or even better "make people read what I meant not what I wrote"

Not only read the entire email, but respond back with more than one word answer to a multi-part question. It only makes me have to re-ask the same question again when they answer the first question part and ignore the rest of the question(s).

So true.
Whenever I have more than one question I even bullet point them with a numbered list and people still don't answer them all.

Not allowing the frivolous clicking of the Reply All button. I don't mind wedding and baby announcements being sent to the entire company, but I can't stand all of the "Congratulations" replies to those emails.

Reply all with an explanation of how dumb it is.
It doesn't solve anything, but it feels nice. And it's deserved, I'd do it again.

and I would like to not allow the clicking of reply in a multi email conversation to prevent orphaned branches
sounds like we need a tickbox when you send an email to determine whether reply means to sender only or all participants

Being introduced [^], but WAY to lenient and limits not configurable - at least yet. I guess might be a little bit useful in a huge enterprise at this point, but looking forward to something more generally useful.
How about keyboards that give a shock anytime reply-all is used - do you think it might help people learn to only use it when they REALLY need to? (Unfortunately, I'm guessing probably not).

I'd like an app that would allow me to send electric shocks back to the sender. Deluxe version may allow a variety of voltage setting - and allow for higher current, as well.
(obligatory pun: Who could resist such an application?)

That would be unacceptable current usage. Even so, it has the potential to succeed. More power to you!

An email app that explains to people what the difference between CC and BCC is ...
Just before I went down with Covid, I ordered 50m of Stihl strimmer wire as I didn't have much 1.75mm diameter wire left for my petrol strimmer and I like to buy quality.
And due to Covid lockdowns, it was delayed - the eBay shop sent me an email to explain that, asked for patience. No problem, except it was CCed to 40 odd other people, giving me all their emails ... and them mine 
Mind you, it had one benefit once the wire arrived and somebody noticed it wasn't the genuine article ... and he had a list of fellow customers to check against ...

Thunderbird will do multiple actions in a filter.
Example: This popped up when I had both move and copy.
When a message matches this filter the actions will be run in this order:
1. Copy Message to lou on Local Folders
2. Move Message to comodo on Local Folders
I use Popfile along with Thunderbird. I can insert anything in subject line with popfile.
Every email client I have ever used has kudos and warts.

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Thunderbird[^] can be used as a local client for Outlook and many freemails, including Gmail. I have used it to backup email services that otherwise cannot be backed up, and it's possible to move emails between accounts without having to forward them.
One drawback -- Thunderbird (when I used it) didn't understand Gmail labels. I discovered that when I synced, an email that had more than 1 label was downloaded into a folder that corresponded to each label, so it produce duplicates.
While it irritated me, this is what Marc wants (although with Outlook).
I haven't used Thunderbird in a couple of years, but found it's been significantly updated (the above link is for their What's New in v68 page). I'll be playing with it.

Recognise when the user is pissed up and disable the send button

Outlook (at least the desktop client) allows you to add multiple user defined categories to any email, sounds like the same functionality as Gmail labels. You can definately filter by category as well.

I pretty much gave up on folders for Outlook a few years back, I just use search if I need to find an email.
The cc/bcc on the email should make it clear who else the email went to.

Do you want a full copy of the incoming email or a link to that email to go in the other folder?
