Youve Got (Too Much) Mail: With Alto, AOL Tries A Fresh Approach To Combat Email Overload

Alto_02_inboxThe way we use email has changed dramatically in the past decade-plus written down like that, it seems like an almost laughably obvious statement. But David Temkin, AOL's senior vice president of mail and mobile, argues that email clients haven't kept up with the changes with the last major innovation coming in 2004, when Gmail launched.Given its age, and its association with the early, "You've got mail!" days of email, AOL (which owns TechCrunch) might not seem like an obvious candidate to do anything innovative in this area. However, the company isn't just bolting on some new features to the existing AOL Mail product. Instead, it's launching an entirely new webmail client called Alto, which is being gradually rolled out in a limited preview starting today.
