CASE STUDY
Product - Easymail
■Easymail is a webmail service launched a few months ago in a
limited beta
■The current version is something of a minimum viable product.
■Easymail does not provide their own email service, but
integrates with existing, providing the user with a great user
interface.
■The idea is to gather all your emails at one place, make it
searchable and stand out by having a unique user interface.
■Easymail have partnered with several email providers to get
access to their API’s.
