ReMail brings advanced email search to the iPhone

If you've got a ton of email that you need to dig through very efficiently, the iPhone's built-in Mail app might not be adequate to the task. That's where reMail comes in.

It's a dedicated email search app that connects to your IMAP account to find the message you're looking for. ReMail's featureset is impressive, with an offline mode, autocompletion for your contacts' names, and a very sensible natural language approach to search queries.

Although reMail doesn't support Exchange, it does support any IMAP account -- multiple IMAP accounts, in fact -- which means it works well with Gmail.
