iMail - Contact Search, Email Drafts, Wide Keyboard & Group Email

*** Version 1.1 released! (Major feature: Ability to send group email) ***

Have you ever wanted to quickly find a contact and use only one tap to email them? Have you ever wanted to use a wide keyboard to type your emails? Have you ever wished your email drafts were saved automatically? Have you ever wanted to send an email to a group in your address book? Wait no more. This is the only application in the App Store that makes it super easy and fast to find a contact in your address book, type text using either a portrait or landscape (wide) keyboard, save your draft emails and send group emails.

In the search view, you can search for a contact using the full QWERTY keyboard. The keyboard view allows you to search in the following fields: first name, last name, email, organization and notes.

In the draft view, you can quickly access your saved email drafts. As you type in the compose view, your emails are saved automatically and you can access them in this draft view.

In the compose view, you can quickly type your emails using either a portrait or landscape (wide) keyboard. Compose view also allows you to hide the email header so that you can have more room on the screen to type the body text of your email.
