We are starting a project for Senior Citizens. It will be Free Ware and we could use some help.
The project is to develope an Email Program which a family member (admin) can set up for a senior in their family. We envision the windows form to be one screen and use the mouse as little as possible. The admin would enter the http email address and password for the senior's account on Gmail, Windows Live or Yahoo. They would also establish a contact list that the senior would use.
When the senior opens the program, it will automatically log onto their email account and read messages. Messages would have index numbers so the senior can type a number or use the mouse to select messages to read. To send a message, they would choose a SEND button which would open a list of contacts to be selected, including group account. The message textbox will be plain text with large bold font.
A simple MAIL IT button would finish job.
Of course, with your input, this plan can be altered. Our goal is to get some older people into the game. I have been programing and building computers for 32 years and I am amazed at how little many of my friends know about computers. I think they are missing something that would enrich their lives and that of their families. At the age of 72, I think I have the right to make this observation.
