Email Inbox Concept

I have created a new and, I hope, innovative user interface for a web based email reader, and I would be very interested to hear your views. Please leave your comments on this blog.

What it so different?

The inbox concept is a web based email reader with a clean, crisp user interface and smooth animated navigation. Emails are organised into pages, and sorted by date. Ordering is slightly looser than strictly by date to take optimise the use of the space that is available.

Features

• The size and shape of each email message changes dynamically based on attributes of the message, such as the length of the subject text, the number of messages in group & whether image attachments are present
• Smooth animated navigation
• Attached images are previewed in the main inbox view
• Message groups; collation of messages with the same subject from multiple recipient helps to manage your inbox
• Multiple messages (conversations) are grouped and shown in an accordion user interface.
• Unread emails are shown with blue text

Try it
To try the inbox concept, follow this link and read the emails in the inbox. You can send emails to inboxconcept@gmail.com and see them appear in the inbox.


Limitations
This is a proof of concept, and not a fully functional email application. The Email Inbox Concept is read-only, and does not allow for sending, reply to, or forwarding emails. Emails are not marked as 'read' after they are opened in the UI.
The concept is restricted to the demonstration inbox and users can connect to their personal email from this application.


Disclaimer
The inbox concept is open to the entire world wide web. Any email messages sent to inboxconcept@gmail.com will appear on the site, and may therefore be indexed by and appear in search engine results from Google, Yahoo!, Bing, and others. Please don't send emails to the account unless you are happy that the content is freely accessible.
