As you probably know, the MIX conference is taking place in Las Vegas at the Venetian Hotel at this very moment. As expected, the conference showcases some of the best products being developed. This year’s Mix is no exception and I am eagerly waiting for the next great thing to appear.
Silverlight 2 has just been released and the folks at AOL came up with a stunning webmail client, written entirely in Silverlight. The speed was blazingly fast and the interface could sort thousands of emails almost instantly, not to mention the possibility of themming the interface according to the user’s taste. Rumours go that people in the audience did not believe that that was an actual live demo. I guess we all have to get used to greater responsiveness and richness of web apps along with the advent of Silverlight.

Hi,
I have just come across another Silverlight webmail client that I though is worthy of a mention. It’s called Silvermail and is available here:
http://silvermail.com.au
It’s pretty quick and really simple to use. I use it for my gmail which is otherwise blocked by the corporate firewall at work. I think Silvermail is written entirely in Silverlight - it is also free to use!
