Microsoft Details Windows 8’s Mail Application

[samit]

Windows 8’s Metro-Style Mail application is another major selling point that Microsoft has been touting for the upcoming operating system. The software was designed to provide users with the possibility to easily stay productive at all times through offering support for multiple accounts, push notifications, and more.

Of course, the application was intended to follow the design principles of Windows 8’s Metro UI as well, thus offering increased focus on content and not on the UI commands. The application will also offer support for both light and heavy email users, as well as for the creation and management of folders. Moreover, the app also uses standard protocols such as Exchange Active Sync, so that users could easily sync their contacts and calendar with their mobile phones.

Starting with Windows 8 Release Preview, the Mail app offers the possibility to easily switch between accounts and folders, with a 3-pane design aimed at simplifying navigation.
