goowy mail.beta is a web email service that runs entirely in Flash! It was featured as Macromedia site of the day 09/06/2005. It's a nice looking interface, but it only has 100 MB of space...

But I will definately be sticking to Gmail, but I will use this account as a backup!

Check it out: www.goowy.com (http://www.goowy.com)

I don't consider a ripped mix of yahoo sbc mail and outlook a good interface, IMO.

Someone either on these forums or the MM forums made that, he posted the beta link and i created an account.... forgot about it, and then came here, and remembered it... Meh, i don't use it obviously........

Pretty cool, to see how the limits of flash just keeps being pushed and pushed. Though there's no way, that I'm leaving my gMail. But interresting stuff

Interesting...but I don't think there's a need to use flash for an email client/interface. It'll definitely take a little longer to load.

Personally I don't need my email interface to be all graphical. When I check and read my email or send any, I just wanna get in there, do my stuff, and get out.

I disagree,

The huge advantage to flash is that the first page of the interface can be 10kbs of loading, while the rest of the interface/e-mails are loaded in the background. I am not sure if that is how goowy is set up, but that could be a huge advantage if used properly!
