AbstractA large part of the design of a recent successful email application for older users came from carefully managing the designer’s interactions with the older people who participated in requirements gathering, prototype development and interface testing. The application is briefly described and the results of usability testing are reported to support the claim that the application is successful. The ways of working with older people that made useful contributions to the project are then discussed with the aim of making these ap-proaches available for other designers interested in interface design for older users.Keywords: aging; interface design
