Microsoft’s new app makes emails quick

The new standalone email app is essentially a mobile-centric email alternative, which allows users to send short and quick messages from their handsets.

That’s where Send comes in handy. As of now, Send requires you to have an Office 365 subscription to use its service. You can also grant different sharing permissions within the app. Improved integration with Outlook will hopefully save users time when they need to edit or revise shared documents.

Send is first available for iPhone in the US and Canada, ahead of Android and Microsoft’s own Windows Phone platform. The company says that it plans to expand the market very soon.

Send is the latest app to arrive out of Microsoft Garage.

Now here is an app that might just make you see whether you would work with emails in the future – this new app is known as Send, and it hails from the halls of Microsoft.

Neither are there unnecessary complications in the form of signatures, subject lines or salutations, which are more of a pain in the neck then we are willing to admit, during those super busy office hours. “All Send messages comply with your organization’s email compliance policies-they are treated like any other work email”.

With hundreds of unwanted emails jamming inboxes around the globe, Microsoft’s Send app, while a boon for harried executives in need of quick messaging capabilities, fails to solve the underlying problems the constant deluge of messaging creates.

“Imagine you’re walking into a big presentation and someone asks you to find out if your colleague will be attending”. The company also encourages people to provide feedback on the app during YamJam on Tuesday July 28 from 9 AM to 10 AM PDT, by following the instructions at the bottom of the Send blog post.

On the other hand, you probably have many email contacts without a phone number logged in your address book, and you might not feel like asking them for it, or inviting them to use an SMS app.
