Terrific stuff, here's MetroMail in action:
Getting started, a super idea to show each user the changelog if they would like to see it....
As usual, you have to get used to the reading and rich browse modes for each email, depending on whether you want to zoom into rich content or not...
The custom sound for each Gmail account is here in Settings - and greyed out because I've only got one Gmail account right now; (right) attachments can now be selected from SkyDrive as well as from local image storage...
One glitch was that MetroMail crashed (for me) when actually trying to select a file in my SkyDrive - I'm sure this will be stomped on quickly by the developer. Comments welcome as to how reliable this feature is for you!
This bug aside, MetroMail is turning into one of the kingpins of the Windows Phone ecosystem and possibly the best £1.29 (or local equivalent) any of you will spend this year.
