Email Login Re-design

Creating a smooth login experience is not simple.

Different from the usual way, MailTime Android's login is a 2-step process. The server needs to validate the user's email first. Depending on which email provider he/she users, the app will either require a simple password or let the user setup IMAP.

The re-design is to help user understand that: 1) he/she cannot change the email address when typing password; 2) if he/she needs to edit the email address, he/she has to go back to the previous page.

As you can see, the animation indicates that the login is a 2-step process. I also edited the input field on the second page. The line is deleted from the email address, showing that it is not an input field anymore.
