Notes

• Big Question: What does In/Out mean in the context of shared email?
  • Sharing complicates the scenarios where we have email.
  • If you are dragging email into Chandler you have to look at the from and the to in order to understand the context.

• We can look at data from different perspectives: - Mine - I send email and it shows as Out. - Priss, Ted receive email from me and it shows as In. - Katie - Not the recipient or sender but she sees the email from my perspective. - You could be looking at shared email from a group perspective ie: ppd perspective

• It's important to note that there is a different perspective of group rather than individual.

• Proposal - 1 perspective
  • If you show up in the from or sent by, updated by -> perspective=outbound
    • You are the official host, task collector, sender.
  • If you are in the to, cc, bcc field -> perspective=inbound.
    • There are some complications with bcc that are detailed later.
  • If you are not listed explicitly ie:mailing list -> perspective=none.
    • This thing you have is neither outbound or inbound.
  • If you show up in the (from, sent by, updated by) & (to, cc, bcc) -> perspective=outbound.
    • This means if you show up in a "from" field as well as a "to" field, the outbound perspective overrides.
  • In versus Out is outside of the sharing circle.

• Questions:
  • Implementation questions around in/out
    • Discussed in another meeting.
  • How do we even implement perspectives?
  • What if I receive items from mailing lists?
    • Reply to the mailing list - then it becomes outbound because you are in the from field.
  • How is morgen going to handle this in the sharing cloud.
  • Is bcc in the sharing cloud
    • It probably shouldn't be - bcc is meant to be private.
  • Should we get rid of the bcc field entirely?
    • Bcc causes problems because there is no way to know you have been bcc'd.
    • In this case, it's probably ok so that you aren't in or out.
