Why only use the mouse? The most frequently used method is the search bar in the main menu or the quick access menu, which is located next to the searchbar.
We had the corporate community in mind, when designing the interface. It is required that we maximally exclude all possible occasions, when users would “not want” to reply to a message for reasons of their own. That’s why we chose the message queue. A user will not be able to read other messages without having read the first one. The first message will be shown every time a new message arrives and every time users start the system on their PCs. Therefore, users would be forced to read and confirm the message sooner or later.
The interface is quite finished and complete; it is simply different from all other similar programs, because it is designed for the corporate community. However, we’re constantly working on improving it and adding new functions.
As for buying, please note that we’re planning to implement a system that would allow sending SMS messages to employees’ mobile phones, as well as sending messages via the command prompt, etc. This is all designed for the corporate community with its strict rules and regulations.

I think that a message queue can be organized by simply not showing the next message to the user, but I just don’t see the use for this strict “message concealment”... Users on the other side should be notified if their message was read or not by means of the icon. However, in your program, one has to go into the message history and dig it up from there, which is simply a waste of time.
You can confirm that the message has been received simply by clicking on the notification icon, just like in ICQ. What’s the OK button for? Working the mouse?
And you should not use a second window at all! Since there is a second window being opened all the time, the chat is greatly hampered.
I’ve set this program up for testing, but for now, my employees aren’t very pleased; quite a shame really, because the program does have a lot of interesting ideas.

“Users on the other side should be notified if their message was read or not by means of the icon” please point exactly where the user would be able to see that. What if the user sent several messages and one of them has been delivered and the other one hasn’t?
As for clicking on the icon for confirmation... I don’t consider that a proper confirmation. Users can click all over the place, you know, and by the time they realize that something has happened, they won’t be able to remember what exactly was it that they clicked. The confirmation itself is what matters here. What if you’re sending some instructions, which must be carried out immediately, and you need to be sure that the message was read and properly confirmed by the user? I agree, the OK button might be a bit over the top, but most of our current clients (primarily from financial and banking industries) want a solid means of confirming that the message was read and understood.
“And you should not use a second window at all! Since there is a second window being opened all the time, the chat is greatly hampered.” Could you please elaborate on that, hard to understand exactly what you have in mind here.
