AOL has launch a new cloud - based electronic mail client calledAltoand it manages to achieve the apparently unimaginable : it make email look kinda … pretty .
This is n’t a new e-mail service . Rather , it ’s a web - based node that can be used by anyone with an AOL , Gmail , Yahoo or iCloud account . You just sign in using your existing email account , and the client work its trick on your inbox .
It takes a very graphical approach to email , pick out look-alike embedded in substance to make the whole set - up more pleasing on the oculus . It ’s an interesting concept , and the node certainly has some clever feature film .

For instance , Alto mechanically create stacks for day-to-day deal , retail and social networking site notification emails , instead of having them all clutter your inbox separately . select a stack , and you see one of three sight : subject matter eyeshot ( obvious ) , tile sight ( to see everything at a glance ) , or page view ( which let you flip out through electronic mail full - screen , page - by - page ) .
you may unite electronic mail accounts in Alto — like you may on your phone — and , as a answer , look for multiple email explanation at once , which is handy . There are a few other prissy picayune features , too : you could “ snooze ” email so they bolt down back up to the top of you inbox later in the day , and there ’s some simple Google Calendar and force consolidation .
Neat ideas , but it remains to be see just how well they ’ll work in pattern . The best way to install that , of course , is to try it out , and you canrequest an invitation to practice the clientnow on the Alto website . [ Alto ]
