MailDrop doesn't work quite the same way. In fact, MailDrop is rather strange. This is my understanding from reading that link -- I hadn't heard about it before. First, I have to download an executable, so it's Windows-only. Second, it needs access to an IMAP account I control. Those are both strange design decisions, IMO. What is it doing? Scanning my mailbox, downloading the attachments, and then placing them in my Dropbox folder to sync? If I only want emails in the "Dropbox" label/folder to get sent to my Dropbox account then I can just configure my mail client to forward all matching emails. That seems easier on several levels. It's easier for the developer, because they don't have to manage downloadable software, versioning, etc. and it's easier for the end user because they don't need to download anything and don't need to grant access to their mail account. The only way these design decisions make sense, IMO, is if this app was written before the Dropbox API, which may very well be the case. But now they should do it the sane way. :)
