TouchMail was developed by a Seattle-based startup founded in 2012 by former Microsoft employees Matthew Carlson and Alex Frank as an e-mail client designed for touch input.[2][3] It runs on both Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. The emails in the client can be color-coded with zoom out features to view more messages.[4] The application integrates work and social messaging using visual and touch capabilities of computing devices.
Features
TouchMail allows emails to be color-coded by sender, and its user interface is optimized for touchscreen devices, including tablets and hybrid laptops.[5] The application also supports traditional input devices such as mouse and keyboard. Additional features include offline access to emails and a zoom-out “overview” mode that lets users browse large volumes of messages visually.[6][7]
Supported providers
As of 2025, TouchMail supports most major email services and many IMAP providers. These include Gmail, Outlook.com (Hotmail), Yahoo Mail, Office 365, iCloud, and AOL Mail.[8]
Limitations
TouchMail does not support POP3 accounts.[8] Microsoft Exchange accounts are only supported if IMAP is enabled, and some smaller or less common providers may experience configuration issues.[8]
