TouchMail is an email application developed for Microsoft Windows, launched on April 17, 2013 at the DEMO Mobile Conference in San Francisco.[1]

TouchMail was developed by a Seattle-based startup founded in 2012 by former Microsoft employees Matthew Carlson and Alex Frank as an e-mail client designed for touch input. It runs using the Metro-style user interface introduced in Windows 8 and currently functions on both Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. The emails in the client can be color-coded with zoom out features to view more messages.[2] The application integrates work and social messaging using visual and touch capabilities of computing devices.

Features

  • It highlights visual signals about messages with in and out zoom.[3]
  • Push a message up to delete in one touch
  • Categorize part of message
  • Color-coded messages for contacts

  • Filters options for people, dates and attributes[4]
