‘Microsoft’s latest mail app strips out everything you hate about email’ – ‘Mashable’

Karissa Bell says, “The team behind Microsoft Outlook has a new email app that makes it a lot easier to ignore your inbox.

Send, released on iOS Wednesday, is an email that app that takes an instant messaging-style approach to your inbox by stripping out almost every aspect.

Unlike Outlook, Send is not meant to be a full-featured email app: you can’t use it to view emails you’ve already received or search your inbox. The super simple app only shows threads that have been started from within the app. The idea, Microsoft says, is to strip out the unnecessary (and annoying) parts of email — subject lines and signatures, for example — to make those quick day-to-day brief messages you exchange with coworkers and colleagues faster and easier.

“With Send, there are no signatures, subject lines or salutations required,” Microsoft’s Outlook team explains. “Our design principle for the app was to make conversations fast and fluid while keeping the people who are important to you at its core.”“.
