At first glance, WeMail, a fresh email app having its availability only on Android for now, joins the ranking of email service lists. "What we noticed is that email today was no different than email 10 years ago" Phil Yuen, the cofounder of the said app, spilled on an interview earlier this month, If this statement is quite never fresh, the reason behind this getting familiar is because it is what an email founder would say.
What makes Wemail rise from all the rest, However, is its execution, Rather than sorting emails according to their categories, Wemail sorted it according to the person sendint the email.
Looking at your inbox in the app, You will get to witness messages sorted in a very standard reverse chronological order but being kept together by the sender, If you tap on the down arrow next to subjwct line of the e-mail message, You will also get to see a drop down of the other latest emails from that sender, If you were to open up the email to give an immediate response, You will get to see an interface that looks and feels more like an instant messaging app rather than an email app.
"We want to organize your email in a way that makes sense on your mobile phone," Yuen says. "And that to us is organizing it around the sender."
In addition to the very decent-looking inbox layout, Wemail also allows you to rapidly respond to emails by recording and sending some short message to decrease hassle in searching through your inbox by people or other attachments. If both the sender and the receiver are using the mentioned app, The recipient can actually see when the response email is being typed out, Practically like any instant messaging app.
The Seattle based startup spilled that Wemail raised more than $1 million un funding from a batch of unforgettable investors, not leaving the founders of Twitch, Scribd, Flurry and Reddit--- several of whom Yuen met while at the very first Y Combinator startup group in , Yuen and his cofounder (and brother) Gerald sold their two previous fresh starts to Amazon and Zynga.
"We want to organize your email in a way that makes sense on your mobile phone," Yuen says. "And that to us is organizing it around the sender."
The hope for Wemail, according to the founders and inventors, is that will lessen the hassle out of any email by keeping it organized, rather than attempting to change the behavior of the user.
"I was a huge fan of Mailbox when it first launched, but you quickly realize that what it wants to do is force you to change behavior," Yuen mentioned something about an app that was being acquired by Dropbox. ""They are trying to teach me long swipes, short swipes... but the moment I stop doing that, it actually offers zero benefit to me. We are trying to give you all the benefit without changing your behavior."
Apple and Google have also acquired some of the quality of other email startups in the recent moths. Yuen doesn't want to see Wemail that way in the future although he sees a bright light there "I would be disappointed, but as an email user, I rejoice for email users around the world for that happening," he says.
