Information visualization applications provide quick and pleasing access to information that may result complex or dense otherwise. They deal with large sets of data that remain mostly constricted to the academic or research environment, rarely reaching a broader audience. In order to make information visualization a personal experience, it is needed to use content that is meaningful to an average user. Email is a perfect body of data to visualize because it is a widespread communication tool for both personal and professional use. Also, it suffers from its own success. We deal with a massive amount of emails, feel pressured to respond quickly, and fear losing track of messages.
