it took me a few months (and making the exact same complaint about the never empty inbox) to understand the Google model for archiving though...
(here's a blog post from a while back where I was moaning about it with some passion! http://www.disambiguity.com/gmail-inbox-and-productivity-or-archive-my-a/) my 'archiving' mental model was based on using Outlook, where if you archived, your email went away somewhere and was quite difficult to retrieve. Of course, with Gmail, it really just means 'take it out of my inbox' I've thought for quite a while that the term 'archive' was not quite right, but have never come up with an alternative. ________________________ Leisa Reichelt Disambiguity.com Contextual Research, User Centred Design & Social Design [EMAIL PROTECTED] +44 778 071 2129 ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
