TL;DR. The new Spark brings a new productivity philosophy, an updated experience, a set of powerful new tools, and a much-awaited Windows version.
What is the new Spark?
Our mission at Spark has always been to make you love your email experience - we started by making email smart, then improved team collaboration - and now we’ve tackled information overload to make email focused. The new Spark is not just an upgrade, but email reimagined.
- A new way of working with email: Spark brings all your emails into a single, unified inbox, allowing for a seamless transition between accounts. Personalize Spark to suit your workflow and discover an email client that adapts to you, not the other way around.
- Designed to filter out the noise: In a world overflowing with distractions, Spark can filter out unnecessary noise and reduce the need for constant context switching. The result? A more productive you, with energy for the parts of your life that truly matter.
- Achieve Inbox Zero: At the heart of the Spark is the philosophy of Inbox Zero, a proactive approach that doesn't just aim to reduce your email count to zero, but to minimize the stress and clutter that come with a crowded inbox.
The new Spark is our commitment to a smarter, more focused, and less stressful communication experience. So why wait to redefine your email workflow? The new Spark is here, and it's time to embrace the future of email.
Now is the time to upgrade from Spark Classic
We invite you to join us in this new chapter of email. Since launching our Spark Beta we've listened intently to the community and have incorporated your favorite tools from Spark Classic and meticulously refined the new Spark to align with your needs and preferences:
