Yeah I would ask them if there where any. I haven't published anything yet. It's gonna be a student research, which I have to do. I hope I will figure out some interesting opinions and trends to create a nice mail client with that results in mind.
I will let you know as soon as there is something online ;-). At the moment I stick to Apple's Mail software and it's structure and I will also adopt some stuff from yahoo, of which i think that it is way cooler than gmail... I actually never really understood the hype around gmail?!? I don't think there is anything super special about it, except maybe that your mails with the same subject are grouped.. or did I miss anything?

If you are really mimicking email systems then there are lots of precedents out there, all of which have had millions of dollars of UI design invested in them. If you can't ask your users it may be smart to borrow some ideas from Outlook/gmail/ yahoo/hotmail. Pretty much all of them have different grids for different message lists in one form or another - especially for spam. --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com, Max Frigge <[EMAIL PROTECTED] .> wrote: > > Thanks for your reply.
