CommuniGate's Pronto! is launching the latest version of its desktop email application at Adobe MAX event in Chicago. This application from Pronto is now available in public beta for users to test out. Pronto's new version runs on Adobe AIR, and can be accessed both online and offline.
Your chat, IM, and email appear in one window, which also allows you to easily pull up your calendar, address book, feeds, media, blogs, and more. So for offline creation of email messages, etc., Pronto will automatically detect if a network is available, and will then send messages that have been waiting in queue. While all of your information can be accessed from this one window, different applications, such as chat and Calendar, can be opened in new windows as well. Files can be added and attached with simple drag'n'drop capabilities.
As Pronto is looking to be a single access point for pretty much everything you need to do, it supports plug-ins for third party applications and mashups that can be rolled into Pronto's new release. One of the best things about this level of potential integration for other applications is that it allows users to better utilize applications, as their email inbox is a primary point of access for much of what they do online. Many applications that nicely integrate with calendar and email applications offer a level of ease for users that I find beneficial.
