Contact Mountain
Mountain visualizes a person's email archive in terms of all the people with whom this person has been in touch over the years.

Each layer in the Mountain represents a different person. Layers are ordered by time. In the mountain below, the owner of the email archive has graduated from one school and moved to a new university for his graduate studies. This is the reason why we see two distinct peaks; the second peak represents all the new contacts this person has made in the new school.
