Thunderbird Mail Redesign (Ubuntu version)

Have you seen the mail client for Ubuntu, well then you know it needs some work. This is my second shot at building a mail client, but the first one just doesn't fit my design language anymore, it looks alright, but... I digress. The new concept Thunderbird for Ubuntu is designed to be more intuitive, is just works and looks good at the same time. The current Thunderbird, looks a bit lacking in features, I would say easy-to-use, since there like three different options.

My later designs, especially for Ubuntu, are moving away from gradients, still have them, but use less of it. I believe that great design is the function, if its function is amazing, the design will follow. I don't need to gloss everything up like I use to with previous creations, but I digress.

Let's get back to Thunderbird now. On the left side of the application you have all of your emails, the more you get the will just show above the next one, the last one moves down. To refresh your mail box, just roll over the "Last updated" by the bottom and a refresh icon will show, just click it and your mail inbox will refresh. At the top, you have your account name, with a drop down menu that you can use to change account, go to chat, and other emailish options. The sort feature is just a simple tool for organizing your mail box the way you care to.

Your mail box is connected to other services, like Facebook, Twitter, Skype(if you can call it that anymore), Myspace(it's cool again), and others like. When you compose an email, you have the ability to make, let's just say, Facebook as a recipient and also add LinkedIn. You can write your text, then when you send your text, it will pop up on Facebook and LinkedIn.

All of your options on an email is at the bottom on the right. I don't need to explain what they do. Your choices of what mail box you want are at the top, next to the current one your at already. To compose an email, at the right to those options, you'll see a pen, click on that and you are in compose mode.
