The international team behind paradise based Bali startup Mailbird has been working in November of 2011 on launching the resilent Mail app Mailbird - a strongly featured and minimalistically designed Mail client competing with Postbox, Inky, and Thunderbird among others.

"We saw a hole in the market, for a clean cut and productive Windows mail client with great support. We have focused on looking at and testing what really works for people and adapting email into a fresh and clean interface. This is definitely something we see our Windows users appreciate tremendously already." - says CEO and Co-Founder Andrea Loubier.

Already before the private beta launch testers have loved the app and reviews have been calling Mailbird the new "Sparrow for Windows" in E27. Microsoft has even expressed interest in adding Mailbird to the Windows app store.

"We listen to our users all the time and focus on building a strong community around email productivity. We are working on open-sourcing large parts of the source code in a later version, enabling developers to launch their own apps and improve existing ones - however first we're soft launching the beta next week after a lot of hard work." - says Danish investor and co-founder Michael Bodekaer.
