Abstract: By more closely integrating email with the web we aim to bring organization to email and more collaboration to the web. To this end we developed the Sidebar [1] a web-browser plug which displays email relevant to the currently displayed web page. Sidebar allows for serendipitous email discovery, provides organization for email discourse, and merges private information from a user's personal email archive with public information from mailing lists and web pages.
