Mailboxes 1.2 for iPad Released

Lilliput Labs has announced the release and immediate availabilty of Mailboxes 1.2 for the iPad. Mailboxes is a multi-user Gmail client designed to make accessing your Gmail and Google Apps emails easier on a shared iPad while still keeping them private. Mailboxes 1.2 adds offline support and fast account switching.

The iPad is a wonderful communal device, perfect for sharing in the living room or at the office. Unfortunately, there's no way to share the iPad while keeping your email private using the built in Mail app. Mailboxes is for those who want to access their email easily and privately on a shared iPad.

Mailboxes 1.2 adds a much-requested feature, offline access to your email. Mailboxes now caches your email for offline reading, leveraging Gmail's HTML5 based storage. Also included in the new release is fast account switching, significantly decreasing the time Mailboxes takes to switch between different Gmail accounts.


Mailboxes is simple to use, all you have to do is enter your Gmail or Google Apps account credentials in once, as well as an optional 4-digit passcode. When you want to access your email, simply select it and you'll be prompted for your passcode. Once you've entered it, Mailboxes will then load up your email in the familiar iPad-optimised Gmail web interface.

Pricing and Availability:
Mailboxes 1.2 is $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category.
