Exchange to IMAP Gateway

I am one of this users that is still using client mail like Thunderbird. Do not get me wrong, I use and like Gmail, but I still need more control over my mail in few cases. Anyway, from time to time the University Exchange server is updated/reconfigured and I loose access to the provided IMAP access. Since this became recurrent event and the suggested solutions from the support team were somewhat random guesses I looked for alternative solution.

Here is what I am using right now, while I can not access my mail box after the last upgrade.

Discrete histogram

The usual histogram is a graphical representation of the distribution of numerical data. It also implies that you have regular intervals for the resulting distribution. What happens if you are looking for distribution over discrete elements, like day of the week, month, or any possible word...

Here is an example.

• How many coins are gold or silver?
• How many coins from each country we have?
• ... year?
