I started using the gmail local client http://mailplaneapp.com/ after
the gmail upgrade which caused FF to crash as well as some of the
other bugs.

Hi all,
New to the list and learning a great deal :^).
Though the original intent of this thread had to do with qualifying Gmail's
online email interface, since Pauric brought up the use of a local client with
Gmail, I was wondering if everyone knew that most commonly used clients can be
Very good point Jan, also, I'd like to refine my statement on
mailplane's offline mode. mailplane is a local 'html' version of your
gmail.com view. I like the consistency. POP clients will have their
own layout and might lack the great search and other nuances?
however, a pop client has a

hopefully it's in the same stream?

although I'm happy to see some action and some liveness coming from

here...
Reading you stating that APPU works in a closed way just doesn't
make sense and it's actually not true at all, especially if one
considers that
I really like this idea. I would like to see it coupled with a means
by which several IxDA members could team up to work on them. I
wouldn't likely have the resources to take on a project on my own,
but I would be interested in contributing to a project as you have
been discussing here.
The Boston UPA Chapter has been doing this for World Usability Day with
our Evaluation Station. We invited 16 non-profits to schedule an hour
with us and give them our feedback (albeit quickly) on how to improve
their sites. Sort of a usability inspection method/heuristic eval. We
have a group of
This sounds great. If we did get some organizations that needed help,
this might even be a good subject for a IxDA meeting. Pick 5 non-
profits, people volunteer, and then show what changes they suggested.

what's nice about mailplane is that you can use custom CSS stylesheets to
remove ads.
of course, various FF extensions such as CustomizeGoogle also allow this but
none of the various Gmail extensions make it as easy to switch between
accounts as mailplane does.

We could add something to the ixda site that let non-profits submit
projects for consideration for pro-bono work by our members...
Wonderful idea!
At Miskeeto, we're focusing on socially-conscious projects - foundations,
awareness sites, corporations doing the right thing, etc - and I'm sure

It has an *interesting* interface, a little different than other screen capture

I'm wondering if the ribbon is a solution for a large (overly complex) set of

Hi,
Initially mobile phones used to have Play, Pause, Previous, Next (in
some cases Stop instead of Pause). Of late, quite a few mobile phones
have started adding Forward and Reverse within the current song.
Does Forward/Reverse add any solid value in a music player for mobile
phones or is it an

One of my design teams is asking me: Should we follow

Hi Jenni,
It is certainly an interesting question. I am using Office 2007, but not
Vista, which is just the way I like it.
The move from [long, textual, multi-level menus with auto-hiding and cryptic
icon-only toolbars] to a [tabbed arrangement of combinations of icons with
text, and one level
At the moment Vista has a very low adoption rate and a very high Oh,
my God -- let's go back to Windows! rate...So, I think that at this
point it makes a lot of sense to stick with the Windows
standards...generally speaking.
However, if you're building an internal app for a group that will be
Might be better to classify Office's old icon toolbars as intermediate aids,
since experts I have observed (admin assistants, typists, etc) have most of
the common toolbar action keystrokes memorized, and only use the toolbar and
text menu for items that don't have an shortcut key, or whose key
It is certainly useful when listening to audio that isn't music, such
as podcasts. I expect users do not often fast-forward through a 4
minute song, although there are use cases for it.

Hi,
Supporting Katie's words about Vista, I think its ridiculous to even
look for Microsoft as an Idol of usability. The real professionals in
my opinion are Apple. I am a Mac fan and I admire Mac OS-X menus and
toolbars.
If you didn't have this great experience, Apple goes for large
meaningful icons
wow! what a turn out and what avfreat mix of people!!! great event!!
