I completely agree on the feelings map. It isn't something that you could rely on and take meaningful actions from the data. However, it is useful to consider the fact that people's experience and comfort isn't linearly incre

You're right. It is unusual. We went with Exchange Web Services first instead of IMAP. Our initial target market were larger companies and we wanted to have deep integration with their Exchange servers (Calendars, Contacts, etc).

Yup. Lesson learned on that one alright. It was a mistake.
