Correspondents Map
The correspondent map groups the messages in a collection by
sender. Senders are further grouped by their domain. Within a
domain, people are ordered by the number of messages they have
sent, and people who sent more messages are shown first. If there
are many senders, the rectangles are reduced in size to only show
first names or initials. The color of the rectangles indicates
the age of the most recent message from that sender.

The "unanswered" check
box grays out the rectangles of the people to whom the user has
sent mail more recently than he/she has recieved it (i.e., leaves the
highlights on the people who are owed a response).
