My first impressions of the windows 8 mail application ...
Accounts :
The mail app seemed to work straight away with my @live account, and looks like it will offer good synchronisation with multiple accounts however I am unable to get the ?accounts? charm to stay open when running in a VMWare VM, so haven?t tested multiple accounts. The @Live account seemed to cause synchronisation issues for Outlook on another machine which was only resolved by deleting the local ost file.
Likes:
- Live tiles indicating how many unread emails.
- Has a clean look
Dislikes:
Conclusion: I wouldn?t consider this a real email client. Security needs to be addressed before recommending to even the most casual of users. It needs rules. And the way it works in a desktop environment really needs to be re-thought.
Steven Sinofsky posted to the windows 8 team blog on their design for the mail app. Sadly I don?t see these issues addressed there .
