- Offline Mode: Users can read, compose, and organize emails without an internet connection. Changes sync automatically when connectivity is restored.
- Platform Consistency: Features are now aligned between iOS and Android.
- Performance Improvements: Loading times and navigation have been updated following a complete rewrite of the app code.
