ViperSnake Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Hmm, so they might be renaming it to Microsoft Mail, cause I see no HOT in that picture, but it does look cool! Kinda looks like start.com a little. Velrry interlesting (spelled wrong to pronounce it stranger, cause this is strange). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doli Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 notice the google stolen feature on top right of screen: Find in Mail 586529494[/snapback] But a Search function in email programs has been around before google so it not a stolen feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jak0bk Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Doesn't look too much like GMail to me. Looks more like an Outlook type interface (which came before GMail, regardless of what you say). Oh yeah... Outlook 2003 had the "conversation" view way before GMail did.

boocher Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 looks like gmail rip-off 586529489[/snapback] What are you talking about? It doesn't look anything like Gmail. Looks like Outlook 2003. I wonder why they didn't just mod the existing Outlook 2003 webmail interface. _--boocher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sn00pY Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 is this a new thing? I been involved in this beta for a LONG time - its nice... very clean and laid out - its good to use! UI is awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This uses the same technology as OWA, and the implementation is obviously quite similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sn4k36 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 If the knew hotmail looks like outlook 2003.. Doesn't that kinda mean the hotmail look will change again in like 2007 or even in 2008. It seems that every 2 years it's being changed. An will it's going to be kinda easy to tell what the next one is going to look like after this one is release..

[EDIT] Ah, just spoted that it's an internal build.[/EDIT] [EDIT]Tjust checked, thats the refresh build that comes out next week, and WOW, what an update it's going to be!! It's really starting to leave Gmail behind!! Sorry but i can't post the details :( [/EDIT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
