Video App Demo: Webmail++

Raise your hand if you've ever found Web Outlook on your Mac ugly and unusable, particularly the "classic" style. Now, if you have an iPhone and have been forced to use this adomination of everything good about web design, you know that the painful gets even more painful when you have to constantly zoom into impossibly small targets. Of course all this would be precluded if you could use your personal iPhone with your company's Exchange server, but that isn't going to happen.

What do you do? First, take a look at Webmail++. This app scrapes off the gunky code in Web Outlook and presents it to you in an iOS-friendly format. For iPhone and iPad, the app does a good job of making Outlook on Webkit far more usable, even touch friendly. Check out the video for some nice touches, like floating menus.

Webmail++ isn't just for Outlook, however. You can connect Webmail++ to a number of email systems like Yahoo but some ISP webmail systems too, including RoadRunner and Comcast.

If your company was using Exchange 2010 and OWA you wouldn't have this complaint. OWA 2010 is very nicely done.

Wish I would have read the comments before I bought this. Making the text bigger in that list is nice, but I want it to do a lot more.

In other news, you can charge $2.99 for hiding the address bar.

"you don't have to do any zooming" WHAT?!

Do you have really tiny fingers, because those folders and such on the left-hand side look way too small.

Exactly. They look too small because the developer did nothing to optimize that part of the UI for a smaller device. Granted, the list of messages themselves are more touch-friendly, but I hardly think this qualifies as "scrap[ing] off the gunky code in Web Outlook and presents it to you in an iOS-friendly format." And, it's definitely not worth $3.
