Fully agree. While you get new mail notifications, the messages are not downloaded to the app in the background as they hit your inbox. Every time you swipe the notification to view the message, you have to wait a good ten seconds for the app to load and then retrieve the message, assuming you have the good fortune for it to even send you to the right message (it's been spotty at best for me).
I could get over the interface oddities as that's mostly a matter of aesthetics, but it's nowhere near as fast as Mail.app to actually open your new email, and that's the killer for me.
- joezydeco 14y agoI think this was discussed on another HN thread. The app is native to handle the push notifications, but loads a webview to handle the actual display of the inbox. And it seems like it loads the webview every time you view the app. Lots of Googly magic is probably happening in all of that JavaScript. The load time led me to delete the app. But I can't get mad about the loss of push to mail.app. TANSTAAFL.
