Can you really trust a list of "important contacts" that's auto-generated? If I send a single mail to, say, an investor, and they reply to me, I want that unanswered reply to be in the list - even if I've only emailed them once.

Can you force etacts to consider certain emails as important?

They don't use the word "important", they use the words "top contacts", which I think more accurately refers to "frequent contacts." So you would know ahead of time that the investor's email isn't going to be in that list.

I'm not quite sure why I need a tool to remind me to stay in touch with people I'm already in touch with all the time... It's the others I need reminders for!

Hey swombat (super-wombat?) You can set reminders on any of your contacts in our interface (in fact, you can sort by days since contact to find people that you've lost touch with).

It also includes people you used to email a lot but have forgotten about recently.
