A recent thesis by Olle Bälter about Electronic Mail, contains
a chapter with results of studies of user experience and
behaviour when using e-mail. Interesting is to note which
are the most common problems which e-mail users have,
and also that different people use the e-mail systems
in so different ways.

The thesis is available by anonymous FTP from URL:
