IANAGA ( I Am Not A Google Employee) :-) There are bunch of useful links on : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmail From http://johnvey.com/features/gmailapi/ You've probably noticed that Gmail's interface is extremely fast when compared to other web-based email systems like Yahoo! Mail and Hotmail. This is a result of Gmail's placement of the UI engine on the * client-side as a JavaScript module *. Whenever you log in to Gmail, a copy of the UI engine is loaded into one of the HTML page frames and remains there for the duration of your session (credit has to be given to Oddpost for being the first ones who perfected this idea). --------- Speculation: Gmail's Architecture and Economics http://blog.topix.net/archives/000016.html http://groups-beta.google.com/group/GmailAgent/ -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) List Information: http://plug.org.in/mailing-list/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
