- compose screen has been updated for a new look and behavior
- To switch between folders as well as to switch between email and other areas such as contacts and calendar, swipe from the left edge of the screen
- Settings can be accessed by swiping left from the edge of the screen when in email view or other list views and clicking the settings button on the bottom left side of the navigation bar that opens up
- The about screen, diagnostics and licensing sections are now accessible from the settings screen

This preview can be installed side by side with the other versions of TouchDown (You might want to turn off notifications from one of the apps to prevent duplicates). If you have a license key for TouchDown, it can be applied to activate this version as well by going to settings. If you purchased the TouchDown License key from the play store, this version will be automatically licensed.
