Speaking of web-based mail, it seem that a little Firefox extension lets you "add ajax support to Yahoo! Mail"

Okay, I'll try to shut up about web-based mail for a day or so.

[Spotted by a co-worker on the Ajaxian Blog.]

Hey Jeremy,

Talking about web-based mail, what do you think about this one:

http://www.georgenava.com/xul/mailer/mail.php

As of now it is just a concept, but I've been thinking on further development to offer it as an alternative web mail client for any pop3 account.

Btw, it is a XUL app ;-)

Imagine if the smart guy (a compliment) behind this AJAX app would enable a quick lookup in the Address Book from the TO:/FROM: addresses in mail, making it easy to cut/paste into the contact's notes field? Or a Y! Map from a Calendar entry's location field, Or again pulling up a contact name after parsing a Task or a Calendar entry (e.g. "[First Last]")?

For those of us who are driven by our calendar and task lists, this would be huge.

Sweet idea George - I'd be interested to see where it leads

Thanks for the encouragement Peter, it takes only one compliment to fuel my motivation ;-)

Gonna start working on the DB then the controllers.
Let's see where it takes us.

at the author's home page:http://viamatic.com/firefox/
you can get the version 0.2 that has the neat "instant reply" feature, which allows you to reply without changing page context
