Alto Mail

@jsneedles Well, it's funny that people really like that ;-) Who knows, we might add a "retro" setting soon ;-)

@waterkant @jsneedles upvoted!

@waterkant @jsneedles And I'd like my old screen name back from 1996 as I said in another messages. "You've got mail" would be shockingly brilliant but be sure to get the localization right :) The fact that it's an AOL email client makes it retro out of the box. I'd move way from other clients in favor of this. As for Gmail, that sucks. All we need now is Excite for search and we're set for Christmas.

@nico Care to elaborate? You of all people should know what we are up to nowadays ;-)

@nico People need to remember that AOL is just the parent company to the Alto product line and brand. Just like TechCrunch or HuffPo. Did we leverage AOL's massive amount of email knowledge, yes, but keep in mind that AOL has a lot of very powerful brands, and we're one of the newer ones. :-)

@waterkant hehe. still, AOL sounds like I will get CDs delivered to my house :)

@arlo @nico @davemcdowell Are there any major features coming out in the next few releases or is it going to be mainly bug fixes? I'm just thinking of the new market you will have with MailBox getting killed off by Dropbox.

@arlo ok, I'll try it out :)

@ourielohayon I'd be curious to know what makes you loyal to Gmail to keep you with it. As for Inbox, we did a web version of Alto long before them that was quite well received. I suppose the good news is the SEO for the current version knocked all the rave reviews for it off a quick Google search. Tthis has been a passion project for a lot of people for a while, and we're all thrilled for it to have great set of mobile clients now.

@arlo speed and search.

@ourielohayon Duly noted. :-) Our next gen search will be amazing. I'm curious where speed is a gating issue, so feel free to vent about what you experienced. We're constantly tuning it too, but it tends to be more helpful for older devices.

@arlo @ourielohayon gmail notifications arrive at lightspeed. any other mail app arrives with min 10 sec delay.

@ourielohayon Probably the same as Safari being faster than any other browser on iOS. Do we really need to get an email a few seconds faster. I'm not convinced. In fact, how about a client that allows you to delay the sending of emails - so you get a chance to rethink/delay a knee-jerk reaction :)

@paul__walsh DM me on twitter and I can see what I can do about your screenname

@waterkant @paul__walsh Done! Excited! :))

@paul__walsh VERY CONCERNING!!!!

@paul__walsh We actually have pretty amazing anti-phishing built into the core of the email backend. I'll let Marcel talk to this though. @waterkant

@paul__walsh We do check that host site. However for peace of mind -- and to put some control into users hand -- we are looking at adding some client side options to control and notify as well.

@waterkant @paul__walsh Awesome. Email sent. I knew you guys would have something. AOL was always good at family safety - as well as "anti-abuse" - arguably the best company to date, for family safety tech and approach.

@arlogilbert Looks like they're on top of it. But some client-side options for blocking pornography links would be pretty amazing - not just because of the content-blocking that people might want, but because XXX links host a lot of malware, spyware etc.

@jenssegers Archive is rarely used on mobile. I think email clients could remove that along with the "move" feature and "star" feature. Features on mobile email apps need to be removed, not expanded. But I love the dashboard. And I can see how it can be extended so much that it could turn into a new AOL 'client'. Very smart.

@jenssegers agreed. That was one of the first things I tried to do when i opened the app
