Good stuff.

Why did you use "respond" instead of "reply"? It's just as descriptive, and is the canonical term. It takes mental overhead to parse new terminology.

And I see the business angle in "delegate", but forwarding isn't always for purposes of delegation.

Maybe this: Dismiss Sleep Forward Reply

Comes from the 'get things done' or GTD ideology.

I used "respond" straight from Merlin Mann's lecture. I agree that it might create some mental overhead. I'll make a note to change it

Honestly, you should change all the words except "Done". When people are using "simple" email software, they don't want to have to think about dictionary/uncommon words like "defer" and "delegate".
