"Insert VideoMail" button- Starts up the video recording applet. Once recording is done, at the current cursor location in an open outlook message, insert an image. Image includes a hyperlink to a Video Message. This button should be placed as prominent as possible, close to the outlook "New E-Mail" button 2.

Message queues are retrieved via the API. The message queue includes a list of messages, their status, and meta-data on the currently selected message recipient. The coder will be provided with an VideoMail account to mimic the web interface queue. 4. A settings area where a user can enter credentials: username, password, and request forgotten password.
