Alto, a Cloud Service that lets you manage multiple email accounts

Have multiple accounts and find it very difficult to manage your emails?!  AOL, a company that became known for bringing email to the masses and by coining the famous phrase “You’ve got mail!” has decided to try and solve your problem with a brand new product, geared towards helping users back in control of their email experience!

AOL’s new cloud-based email tool- Alto, is designed to work alongside, or rather on top of, the main webmail services, rather than replacing them. The HTML 5-based client manages your existing accounts in a less linear, more visual way. You just visit Alto’s site and sign in with your AOL, Gmail, Yahoo, or iCloud information: Once you’re in, Alto will help manage your inbox and cut back on clutter.

“We built Alto for people who believe, as we do, that organization is beautiful, who are overloaded with email and aren’t happy with the status quo of existing email experiences,” Joshua Ramirez, AOL senior director explains. “The way we use email has changed radically over the years, but the core email application experience hasn’t. We’ve taken a deep look at how people use email now, and designed an application around that reality. When you sort through physical mail, you put it into stacks because it’s a natural way to decide what’s important, what’s junk, and what to save for later. We wanted to recreate that experience with Alto, but make it intelligent and automatic, to easily deal with the hundreds of emails we get every day.”

Alto is currently only available in limited preview (it’s due to open to the public early next year) but you can register your interest here.

The anticipated release of Alto to the general public is Q1 of next year.
