Microsoft is reportedly working on a new iPhone-only email app, called Flow. The app is designed to let users experience "rapid email conversations on your phone with the people who are important to you."

The new app will assist the flagship Outlook email app, as mentioned by the download page, first spotted by Twitter user, @h0x0d.

According to the information leaked, the app would only show conversations initiated by users within the app, instead entire Outlook Inbox. The app would also remove subject lines, salutations, or signatures to offer users a fast conversation in real-time.

The app might be like what Qik is for Skype, as pointed by ZDNet. Qik is a lightweight video messaging and IM service through which users can send 42-second long video messages.

The Outlook app, introduced in January, is based on the popular email app made by Acompli, a startup that Microsoft bought in December.

Microsoft has not confirmed the app in works.
