Kmail icon test

So because I redefine the meaning of the word busy, I had been letting the usability studies fall behind terribly, but the good think about being KDE is that there is so much of us willing to step in and help. In this case it was Björn Balazs that created this test and I warn you its not an easy one :) have fun with it :).

P.S. its my birthday today so thanks Björn for the gift ;).

Happy birthday, Nuno! :) Be KDE as long as it exists!

Test done! Nice one!
Happy birthday :)

After completing the test I wanted to say, it was not easy at all. But just noticed you also mentioned this. Especially the icons for inbox/sent/outbox/drafs are super confusing.

Half way the survey I figured I'd picked the "wrong ones" for the inbox/drafts (with all the questions mixed up in different orders) so I'm looking forward to the conclusions of this test.

I found it surprisingly difficult as well. I use Kmail every day, but I found out that I would choose completely different icons, or found none that would match...

Some icon suggestions:
- Sent-mail: a post van
- Look for new mail: the icon should contain an eye (for "look")

@david think its a bit to dificult :) some of the actions come in context, that is not shown here.

but in this type of things there is no bad data just data.

Happy Birthday man!

I took the test. Maybe I was a bit careless but "Filter by status" and "Change sort order" both point to this icon? http://survey.usability-methods.com/beta/images/775073/1

Maybe I was just confused :D

Here are some great icons, called Fugue Icons.
They are free with some restrictions. i don't know if it's possible to use them in KDE SC apps, but at least there are some great ideas for design.
