Newton has had a long and winding path to its current place in the premium email ecosystem, but can it last under new ownership?
Newton is a mail app that's been much loved ever since the CloudMagic days. It's died twice, but now it's back. And it's owned by people who have used it for years.
Newton Mail is set to shut down on April 30, but before that date comes, the company is doing what it can to keep the service afloat.
Newton mail will be shutting down alongside its ill-fated parent company, Essential. Current users will have access to the service until April 2020.
After being purchased by Essential in December, the Newton email app has returned and still costs $50/year.
Essential has acquired CloudMagic — the company behind Newton Mail — for an undisclosed fee, and the email service could likely end up as an exclusive offering on Essential's devices.
Newton's app now comes with a dedicated Recap section that lists emails which require a reply or any follow-up action.
With Gmail now updated with a new look and features, we want to see how it stacks up to one of the most innovative clients around — Newton.
