Agreed, and we're going to allow this to be configurable by the 
administrator isntalling the application, definitely. Different servers 
/ admins will have different needs, and we're trying to be sensitive to 
all of those.

This is one of the big problems I have with webmail as well. One of the 
things I really love about Thunderbird on the desktop is that it allows 
the default. GMail does too, I believe.
> If you are adding a SPELL CHECK FEATURE, what would happen if the new version of IE comes bundled with that, considering that Firefox already comes with this feature?
I was thinking about this earlier today, and it seems to solve itself 
becuase the option should be available to easily turn it off as 
necessary. In the next iteration of browsers, I imagine most will have 
the spell check feature built in. We won't attempt to detect it in 1.0, 
but we will allow it to be turned off, definitely.

Not sure what you mean, V1 intends to make use of cookies, and it is a 
requirement in the SFS, can you extrapolate?

I don't think that's something we're interested in worrying about, it's 
the user's machine, and if they want to log in from Netscape and Firefox 
at the same time, or from the same browser twice concurrently, I don't 
know why that would be a problem. Let's chat on this some more.

I think that informing the users of the security risks involved in 
dictionary passwords and setting some kind of flooding gate to prevent 
blunt-force cracking will be sufficient, at least for our initial 
rollout we can allow for an additional module and a plugin API that will 
allow people to easily build extensions in the future, though. I expect 
that will be immature in 1.0 but will grow as we do. :)

Great comments! Thanks!
