Laslo Mail - New Rich Internet Experience

Recently i saw this Laslo mail with lots of reviews tomtomming its rich features. So decided to check myself. The registration process is simple. Then went to the UI. Liked it pretty much, You can do all the changes for setting, composing in one page itself. its so simple. Also i never saw this page getting refreshed. So no waste of time.
Check the screen shot above.

See the supposed advantages features.

We've taken a completely different approach than, say, AOL and Google," said John Foltz, the product manager for EarthLink's e-mail using Laslo. "It doesn't behave like a Web page at all."

Among the features possible with something like Flash, he went on, are keyboard shortcuts identical to those used in desktop mail clients such as Outlook -- the Delete key erases messages, a Shift-Click maneuver selects multiple messages -- a single page interface, and in-the-background mail transmission.

Foltz hammered on the single page interface idea. "There's never a page refresh, so it works exactly like a desktop application," he said. "Web e-mail is certainly more convenient [than POP3-based mail], but people don't use Web mail more because it's so slow. We're addressing that."

When clicking on a message header, for instance, to see its content, a user of Enhanced Webmail sees the message body in a preview pane almost immediately, and without the browser redrawing the page. The most current messages, in fact, are pre-cached when the user heads to the site, so that message content appears instantly.

"It behaves very much like Outlook," Foltz said, comparing it to the popular Microsoft e-mail application.

The interface is also significantly more customizable than the new version of Web e-mail just rolled out by AOL, promised Foltz, who demonstrated how users will be able to resize panes and reposition elements in the browser window.

Out the gate, Enhanced Webmail will offer 100MB of storage for each mailbox (each EarthLink account can have as many as eight mailboxes), but the ISP plans to boost that to 1GB -- matching Google's free Gmail -- by the third quarter.
