Interesting! My first W8-using client, with a non-touchscreen cheap
notebook PC, used that app too. She said that she used the Start
Screen email app to quickly see if she had any emails, what they were

and used the full Yahoo Mail website -- but for a quick check, it was
faster to use the Modern app.
