AJAX templates at this moment are useless because we first need to think about how to handle the xmlhttp requests, which functions we offer and what structures we are going to use. That happens AFTER we finished templates. The next time anybody mentioned the buzz word AJAX again I want to see at least the following aspects: 1) What is the advantage of AJAX above normal templates; 2) Why do you thing 1) is an advantage; 3) What is the form of the XML structure SquirrelMail should provide Things I personally think AJAX could be usefull is the following: * update seen/total message count mailbox tree * retrieval of mailbox headers for mailbox display * retrieval of message headers and displayable message body for message display (read_body) In other words, only the dynamic parts. Using AJAX because it sounds cool and others use it is not something I have in mind. AJAX should only be used if it has an advantage in a certain area above the normal approach.
