This seems to be a the type of comment that is catchy, but in truth mostly vacuous. How does one have a 'Draw Something' of email? There is no sticking power to most games. There are high switching costs (in terms of time, productivity, etc.) when it comes to e-mail. Hell, I used Yahoo Mail for years after Gmail came out because I wasn't used to its interface. If Mailbox has managed to get people to switch to their app, it is likely that they will continue to use the app... Not drop it in three months like people did with Draw Something.
- starik36 14y agoAnecdotal evidence. 2 out of three people who initially installed Mailbox and waited in line with me have gone back to the regular Mail app. I am likely to do so as well soon. Why? While Mailbox is nice, it only adds a single feature: the ability to defer dealing with email till later date. However, its drawback is that it only does GMail. My world also includes Exchange and Yahoo mail. I don't want to have to use separate apps to access my mail. If they add other types of accounts, great, will talk. But for now, I can see why the OP is calling it 'Draw Something' of email.
