Since the release of Windows 8.1, I have been using Microsoft's Windows 8 Mail App - a remarkable platform to manage my emails on my device. But, recently I came across another visually beautiful mailing app called TouchMail.

TouchMail presents your emails in form of live colorfully designed tiles. Apart from it, this app gives a 3D visual enhancements to your emails which involves color coding of the tiles, adding profile pictures or logos to specific mails (which comes from specific senders or belongs to a specific category).
