  1. Students need a priority inbox capable of alerting them to

    important emails while saving others for a later time because email comes in varying degrees of importance which can directly create or reduce stress
  2. Interviewees • A Student Teacher... ◦ "I'd rather go through

    my email in small chunks, handling the messages as they come, rather than sitting down and making it an activity itself." • A CS Student... ◦ "It's not exactly the email itself, it's the stuff that causes the email. It's appropriate when you don't need a response rapidly. But if you're spouting off at me because I didn't answer an email without 24 hours, you should have just called." • A Law Student... ◦ "Email itself doesn't stress me out because we've grown up with it - it's the contents of the email that have the power to rock your world"
