When it comes to concepts of new email clients, .Mail app for Mac (dotMail) is one of the most beautiful and well thought-out ones out there. One caveat so far: it’s not real yet, though you can already sign up to be informed when it becomes available.
.Mail app: the design
So, what does .Mail look like? Here’s a screenshot of the email client:
The interface looks a lot like Sparrow, another email client for the Mac platform. However, there are some nifty things in there – a few of those are highlighted below.
.Mail app: Actionsteps – setting priorities
You can prioritize emails with a single click, giving it a red marker and putting it under ‘Next Steps’ for a follow-up action later on.
.Mail app: handling attachements
One of the well designed features in the .Mail app is the way attachements work. The’re not seen as stuck to emails anymore, they’ve received a separate place and work like the Mac OS X Finder:
.Mail app: notifications
Also, social notifications that arrive in the email are shown as separate notifications: this way you can see at a glance how many a certain network has sent you. Here’s an example:
The Facebook icon shows that 3 notifications from that network have arrived via email. Smart!
These and other features and new innovations can be found in a concept description with more screenshots over at the .Mail app webpage.
