Microsoft has quietly brought out the first true e-mail app for the Zune HD. The official software gives the MP3 player checks for both Gmail and Windows Live mail as well as any mail account that uses a POP3 server for incoming messages. The app isn’t as full-featured as on Windows Phone 7 but lets users quickly mass-delete messages or filter by the folder or the status.
The app is free and live now in the Zune Marketplace either on the device or in the Windows-based Zune software.
The release came a year and a half after the Zune HD launched and only now is catching up to some features that shipped in the original iPod touch.
