calande Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Hello, I was thinking how great forum software is, everybody likes forums, and forum interfaces are neat, with organized threads. I was wondering: What if we used the same forum interface to read our mails? I was browsing a popular forum and I saw that most elements of the forum interface has its equivalent in a webmail: Forum Webmail List of categoriesLabels, common directories (inbox, sent, drafts, trash) List of subcategoriesSublabels ThreadThread Reply formReply form Advanced searchAdvanced search Member listAddress book View unread messagesView unread messages A message could be in several "subforums" at the same time, as it would be flagged (ie: "Business", "Resumes"). Obviously, access would be password-protected. So! My question is: Imagine this were the interface of your webmail: http://www.phpbb.com/community - Would you like it better than Gmail's interface? Or do you prefer Gmail's interface? Please only take the interface aspect into account, just assume the speed of the interface would be as fast as Gmail's. To be honnest, I like both, and I would have a hard time taking a decision, but I want you to be frank, please take the poll and speak out!

Stooney Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I personally don't use webmail (unless for some reason I don't have one of my computers). I prefer Thunderbird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
