Email does need a rethink, Google has done a reasonable job, pat yourself on the back – now step aside. With Mail Pilot (which is an app and software for all platforms) all your email services are collated in one place using a single login, but it gets better. When you read a message it stays until you check it as complete when it is then archived out of sight, tidy. You can also mark for review so it goes out of sight until you are either in the review section, or when it’s come back on a date and time you set it to reappear. Another ingenious idea lets you set things like, all messages you were CC’d into, to automatically go to the review section. Other features like Intelligent Compose/Reply, Drill Down Bar and Calendar View all sound lovely, though there’s not a lot about what they do. We’re impressed and reckon email has plenty of room for improvement, why not help make life easier?
