The new UW-Madison WiscMail interface is now available for all students to try, and will eventually become the default interface on the WiscMail website.
Students can access the new WiscMail by clicking on ""Try The New Web Client"" on their personal MyUW page.
According to a UW-Madison release, the new client is similar to that of Microsoft Office's Outlook or Apple Mail, and is based on feedback from UW-Madison students, faculty and staff.
Among the feedback received, the most common suggestions were to include the abilities to have more than one message open at a time, to drag and drop messages and to make the UW-Madison people search directory accessible within WiscMail.
According to the release, the mail design team included many of the suggested features, and is still working on the final details, like including increased user customization.
