Say hello to Alto, an email client that hopes you'll be thinking "You've Got Mail" for years to come

Alto treats your inbox like it's data, applying its algorithm to organize your emails, even resurrecting older messages if they become relevant in future dates.

"Every action you take online results in an email, but the inbox view of this data is an outdated laundry list and does not serve up what you need when you need it," the Alto team said in a statement.

If you book a flight months in advance, Alto will bring the note back up when you're about to travel and pair it with related emails such as hotel reservations or car rentals. It also links to other apps on your phone, like Uber or Google Maps.

While the folders have some cool features, like the Photos stack that collects all your emails that have images attached and compiles them into a gallery, Alto's automatic organization still has more to learn.

The team studied email users and found most had multiple accounts, whether for work or personal use. And there were deals and discounts, lost within the sea of emails.

"What we found, almost anything you do online, or even in brick and mortar stores, results in an email," said Marcel Becker, Alto's director of product. "It's all just sitting in various mailboxes; no one is deleting things anymore."

Hey AOL, I've been using this thing called Google Inbox for a year or so now. It does everything you're advertising!
