Abstract

In this paper we make the case for the existence and importance of a special class of email user, the high-throughput email user, whose needs are not well-served by current clients. We establish these groups by quantitative and qualitative definitions derived from fieldwork, a large-scale survey, and subsequent analysis of the user population, along with analysis of current email clients. We conclude with directions for future research.
