Abstract

The OzCHI24 student challenge brief summarized the current problems associated with email due to its use as a communication medium that has evolved far from its original purpose. The brief directed us to address this challenge by designing an email 'replacement': a solution that would somehow ease the current problem of information overload due to modern usage email services. Hence, this paper introduces our solution, TorteMail, a new email solution intended to increase the speed and improve the organization of email. TorteMail is born from first hand research and investigation in current trends of email sorting and is hence comprised of both a new sorting approach to email and a innovative email format combining traditional multimedia content with form interface elements.
