Finder

Largely to make it easier for those who don’t know about the Info window or how to control file sharing, a button in the banner at the top of shared nodes:

A Settings button to quickly access the Sharing System Preferences pane

The button would open the Sharing pane in System Preferences with the particular folder selected.

Mail

The dialog asking for confirmation before permanently deleting messages marked for deletion or as spam is really irritating. As with the Restart/Shutdown/Log Out commands in the Apple menu and the Private Browsing command in Safari, holding Option should suppress the confirmation and execute the command immediately.

Mail's contextual menu with confirmation suppression indicated via lack of ellipses

Going by the HIG for the use of ellipses in command labels, the Erase Deleted and Junk commands in the Mailbox menu should have them.
