The Macromedia usability team has asked us to pass along their thanks to everyone who'd submitted feedback for the Flex Builder 2 Usability study, and to let you know that the study is finished now, so we'll be removing the links/submission address from the announcement post. Thanks again for helping out!

Neil Straghalis on the Macromedia web team just blogged a great summary of how the Labs and Macromedia.com site CSS is 'modularized', to leverage the existing MM.com design, but selectively override it with a single Labs-specific stylesheet to achieve the 'de-evolved' final look of the Labs static website. Definitely worth a read if you're juggling both design and interface for large site installations.
Ben Forta just posted FlexMail up on the Labs wiki- a great example application using ColdFusion's back-end strengths (CFPOP and CFMAIL) to bridge between a rich Flex 2 front end and existing POP email servers.
You can keep posted on updates and get the current version of FlexMail from it's wiki project page:
