Please don't call this travesty of a proprietary mobile app "Mailbox". They don't own the word.

  I'm curious what you'd prefer the author to refer to it as instead? Even the article name uses it as a proper noun; I'd understand if it was "mailbox" instead of "Mailbox", but it seems pretty clear to me. Mailbox.app?

    Not really my problem, but Mailbox on the Apple App Store (yes this is a fractal of trademark abuse) or Orchestra Mailbox (like Google Tasks) works.

      I call it MailBox.app Seems to disambiguate nicely.

        How about Mailbox.ipa ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ipa_(file_extension) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ipa_(file_extension)

  Does Apple own the word 'Mail'?

    No, but people call it Mail.app.
