Abstract

Email is an important part of our lives, almost everyone has at least one email account. It is not uncommon for an average professional email user to receive/send over a hundred emails a day. With all these personal and professional messages accumulated over time, email becomes our personal archive. In recently years, many interesting techniques are developed to improve email management, visualize mailbox content, explore historical events, and discover hidden knowledge from these electronic archives. In this paper, we propose an approach to visualize and compare email archives with Streamgraphs and Tag Clouds. Our preliminary results demonstrate the capability of this technique to compare any general text corpora with temporal information.
