Is email still people-centric? Looking at the 25 latest messages of my inbox, only 8 are from real persons. The rest comprises 5 newsletters and 12 notifications.
Close friends I contact via SMS mostly, and other friends I contact maybe twice every 6 months.
Maybe my email usage is unusual, I don't know. Still, Unibox's market is a niche. Good luck to them though. It's always interesting to see new approaches towards a medium as old as email.

- Aloha 13y agoif I look at my raw mailstream his case might be correct, I aggressively use filtering so most of what makes it to my inbox is actually mail.
- lassejansen 13y agoUnibox works pretty well for newsletters and notifications. They get grouped into one contact by sender, so e.g. 4 Twitter notifications only take one slot in the contact list. It works also really well for notifications that contain attachments. If you have e.g. a github account that sends invoices you can select the Github Billing contact, go to the attachment list and have all invoices in one place. I don't copy attachments to the filesystem anymore because it's much easier to find them in Unibox.
