Rich Internet applications (RIAs), or web applications, are those web sites that blur the boundary
between the web browser and standard desktop applications. Managing your e-mail through
web sites such as Google Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, and Microsoft Windows Live Hotmail is every bit
as simple and intuitive as using a desktop e-mail client such as Microsoft Outlook or Apple Mail.
Web page refreshes are not expected when performing actions, and if a new message is received
by the mail server, we expect to see it appear in our inbox immediately.
