Well, overall I really like your style and your concept. But I get the impression that mail clients are becoming the new weather apps. I know, flat and simple is really trendy at the moment, but you made a few things that could be avoided without much work.
First, in your screenshot you should really show more than one message. Especially for a microsite! The screenshot should look like something, which already works and not like a straight out of photoshop thingy. I think it's not enough to just vary the timestamps.
Also (and I can just talk about what I see) I am asking myself if there is anything else except the inbox? I don't see a back button or anything similar.
Last point so far: The submit button on your microsite is 1px off in the y-axis in my Safari :)
Sorry for the criticism. I don't want to sell your design short. I really like your approach and just want to help you make it better. Your style is really great and clean, keep it up! Looking forward to test the app!
@Moritz v. V. Well this is not remotely close to a weather app. And I don't see where you're going if weather apps have patented a clean look. We're creating a simple email client that uses a lot of iPhone interaction. There'll hardly be any buttons, it will mostly be swiping. And if you read my description it says that the email items will be replaced with testimonials, that's why I am inviting you guys from Dribbble right now. Thanks for pointing out the safari error!
@Victor Erixon Oh, I'm sorry, must have overlooked the testimonial part.
As for the weather apps: Of course they haven't patented the simple look. As I already said: I really like the look of your app! You did a great job. I just saw many mail clients in the last months on Dribbble, that's why I mentioned the weather apps. Not a bad thing ;) So it is really great to see that you are actually building the app! Mail clients are one of the hardest apps to conceptualize. So you are absolutely right that they have nothing in common with weather apps.
Again: Sorry if my statement was a bit too harsh. You did a remarkable job.
@jonathan olsen Thanks! :)

Today I'm happy to announce the release of Mochila Mail for iOS.
You can already sign up for beta testing, and we'll let you have a test run and let us know what you think about Mochila.
Website is in Retina and non-retina.
Finally, an email client that puts you on top of things.
Check it out: Mochila Website
Don't forget to share this on Twitter!

I notice when you type in your email address and hit the ok button it becomes off-line.
Also, I would have liked to see more work in the preview rather than the same email line after line.
But other than that, I'm excited to try out the App
