    Website Android Police unveiled an unreleased version of the app on its blog. A video shows the client running Android 4.1., indicating that it doesn't only work with the latest, upcoming OS (Android 4.2).

    The pinch-to-zoom feature lets users zoom in on (and out of) their emails, simply by pinching the screen. With the swipe-to-delete option, users can choose to delete or archive their emails with a swipe gesture, the blog says.
