Project Inboxes tied to a list

Every list should have the option of having its own inbox or a view/filter tied to the inbox feature and an email address to cc.

Essentially this feature would be a google group style of tagging emails, but it would be tied to the list where work is occurring. Then the list overview would show a record of all emails related to the list... or a tab would be available to view the "Inbox" for that list specifically.
Each email should be identified as belonging to a task (breadcrumb to open the task) or belonging to the list (cc'd from an email thread but not tied to a task specifically).
I know that all emails can (and maybe should) be tied to a task, but currently there is no centralized location to view all correspondence related to a list.
Context: We are a general contractor in the construction industry and we organize our projects as a singular list. We currently use ClickUp, BuilderTrend and Google Suite for different portions of the business. We have, but don't use Google Groups because they are directly tied to an email address and a subscription cost... so that doesn't work for the value we hope to gain from it as purely a place for centralized project correspondence documentation. BuilderTrend has this as a feature, but we're hoping to move away from BuilderTrend completely with the use of ClickUp.

A viable partial workaround until this feature exists is to have an evergreen task and to cc that task on all email correspondence for a project. This requires that all team members cc the email address for the task. What it does not provide is a view of all emails that are attached to tasks and not cc'd.

Note: Ideally the feature description above would also scrub to avoid duplicates of emails attached to tasks showing up in an inbox and the cc'd version of that same email showing up in the inbox.
