Hi,

I need to build a web based email client (asp.net)

I'll be using a 3rd party library for pop3/smtp/mime/etc.

What challenges do you guys think there will be during development? (I don't want to overlook major components)

It seems pretty straight forward, the only thing I am weary of is spam management. I am planning on using bayesian filtering.

A: 

One of your challenges will probably be handling of the Back button. People will use your web app in all kinds of ways you didn't expect.

Well that is more of a general problem for all web apps, but yeah thanks.
