MuMail — A Simple Multimedia Email Client

Abstract

Elderly people today often keep contact with their friends and relatives through modern means like email. However, email smartphone apps are often quite difficult to operate, confusing their elderly users with too many options or showing erratic behavior due to mistakes in complex swipe gestures. We developed the app MuMail especially for elderly users, which simplifies the ability to share pictures and voice-messages over email, but not text. MuMail offers a simple GUI especially designed to take away complexity. Below are described the design decisions and a preliminary evaluation of MuMail.
