hello again ladies and gentlemen Joe Hindy the android authority app guy here and in this quick video we're going to take a quick look at a new application called we mail okay so here's what we mail is all about the idea is to turn your email experience into something that is more simple and enjoyable on your mobile devices it does this by incorporating a mobile friendly user experience that is adorned by material design and bears a striking resemblance to how messaging apps work one of the things you'll notice immediately is how emails are organized generally they're in chronological order whereas in we mail they're organized by sender so if someone sends you a bunch of emails they all appear in one space and not as individual emails here's a basis for comparison here is how it looks in classic gmail and here is how it looks in we mail so you can see that the application does save quite a bit of space in terms of functionality it actually performs more like a chat application rather than email messages are threaded in a bubble layout much like whatsapp or hangout and that can make them easier to read you can respond to e-mail and otherwise interact with the email just like you can in a messaging application with a few extra tools included because it is email one fun feature is the voice response instead of trying to figure out what you're saying and put it in text the app actually records what you're saying and sends it as a sound file if you're on we email you can play these right from the chat bubble and if you're on a regular client they show up as a sound file attachment that you can download and play and we mail the attachments are all managed under one interface kind of like you'd see in cloud storage I get a lot of attachments and this actually made it substantially easier to manage and find files and it's actually one of my favorite features of this application there is also an above-average search function to find messages you've sent or received overall this is something very different and whether or not you like it will be determined on how much you like dealing with email in its current format there are a lot of spots where we mail is faster and more efficient and that's especially true with attachments and dealing with a lot of emails from the same people over and over again the material design does look nice and it fits this application like a glove without being too ostentatious I did have a pre-release copy so there were some things that I experienced that probably will make it into the actual application such as some sync delays especially in gmail but that is something you may want to look out for since this is a brand new application it's also worth mentioning that this app doesn't include a lot of the things that full-featured email clients use like text formatting so if you're big into that you may not be writing a lot of emails on here on mobile devices this has a chance to be something truly different the focus on simplicity is apparent and refreshing and they do support multiple accounts on multiple services if you're up for trying something different the link will be in the video description below
