Ext Mail is a GMail clone example application built with the Ext JS framework to demonstrate how complex applications can be built with the framework. The app is a universal application making use of the Classic and Modern toolkits and building upon a base of shared business logic and data models.
This application was demonstrated during a Sencha Cafe webinar series where it was built live by Stuart Ashworth.
The application is part of the Ext JS: The Ultimate Guide book where it is extended further to make use of more advanced features and components.
