Metro e-mail has to be the worst programmed, most basic e-mail application ever. It is embarrassing. To launch this travesty as the defacto e-mail client for Windows 8 and Windows RT devices is really just spitting in your users faces. You can't even select multiple items at the same time, imap connectivity loses mail constantly, and it forces you to use a MS_based account to force advertisements on you. If you have no account configured it just opens up with a blank white screen and you have to somehow figure out that you need to select the charms option. Finally, it doesn't connect to Exchange 2010 even with service pack 2 and the latest rollup 4 version 2 applied. A whale of a fail. Even Pine is better than the Metro e-mail client. At least Pine works.
