My honest feedback:
What differentiates this from Mailbox or Google Inbox?
On the UI side, its a pretty clear clone of Mailbox (I saw you work with one of their designers, so not surprising — also not a bad thing since Mailbox has a great paradigm.)
I see you're focused on personalization. Google's priority inbox does exactly what you talked about, prioritizing those messages you're more likely to read.
Following up on that, if I'm not a power user (your target market) then do I have the email volume to justify personalization? Sure, maybe I have a bunch of new things in the Promotions tab in the morning, but I'm not sure that is a hair-on-fire problem for self-identifying non-power-users.

- scoggs 12y agoI was in the same question asking boat as you after checking everything out and the only conclusion I can come to is that this app may have been created with people who don't want to attach everything to Google's Services.
- chralieboy 12y agoPossibly. At the same time, Mailbox supports iCloud and gMail. They say SlideMail is different in that it is not for power users. So non-power-users that have their own email server or don't use gMail/iCloud? Maybe people that don't want Dropbox to have access to your email, which is fair. In which case, push privacy as a differentiator. But that isn't nearly as sexy or mass-market as personalization; I think many average users have gotten used to their online information being own by someone else.
