Re/code posted about the acquisition first but it looks like Microsoft has officially announced their purchase of Acompli, a company focused on mobile email. According to the Acompli blog post, “Right around this time we began conversations with the folks at Microsoft about how we could go farther by integrating the capabilities of their Office 365 platform into our product while continuing to provide amazing support for email and file services from Apple, Dropbox, Google, and Box.”
Those of you familiar with the product know the blog post which kicked off the company still says it all about the company vision.

Best of luck Acompli.
