Abstract

The Gold Mailer, a system that provides users with an integrated way to send and receive messages using different media, efficiently store and retrieve these messages, and access a variety of sources of other useful information, is described. The mailer solves the problems of information overload, organization of messages and multiple interfaces. By providing good storage and retrieval facilities, it can be used as a powerful information processing engine covering a range of useful office information. The Gold Mailer´s query language, indexing engine, file organization, data structures, and support of mail message data and multimedia documents are discussed
