I agree with a lot of the points here, Email in itself isn't broken. I've spent the last 2 months studying users email habits, who sends what?, what do they receive?, what are the conversations like?, how is the platform being used? etc.. t

Bingo! You've made my day.. this is exactly as the service is intended. In fact our first ever rule was the exact text message scenario you've described.

Yep - that's a great example of how Tray would be used. Is there a particular CRM / Service you'd like to see integrated? You would be able to forward the whole email or specific parts of an email (ie attachments) as the rule dictates.

This is very true, thanks for reminding us... Privacy is obviously a huge issue, if we are going to be accessing your emails, so you're right we do need to make it a bit more obvious that the service is completely secure. We would never sto

Password protection is a good issue. Obviously its not as simple as a native web application where we can just hash the users password so never actually store it in plain text. For Gmail users we can use XOauth, which helps, but for other

We have developed an alpha of the basic platform with a few rules that we wanted to use ourselves (therefore not strictly following lean), the idea here is to use feedback from HN to shape where we go from here, are there any features that

Fantastic! We are following some of the lean principles in order to help validate our idea before we head too far down the development path (great post here - http://theagileplanner.com/blog/building-agile-planner/buffe... ). The feedback

Thank you. The rules you can set within the platform give you a lot more power, firstly you are able to hook into web services i.e Twilio and push messages that fit a certain criteria straight to your phone. You'll also be able to trigger

We connect to Gmail using their XOauth IMAP implementation, which we hope will become more standard in the future, but for now other services we are mainly using native IMAP connection, so you will have to give us your username/password (we

thanks for the feedback! we won't be just limited to gmail (but yes google could roll out these specific features). The idea is that it works as a platform for you to setup your own channels based on your email habits, you can use the web h

Hey, I'd love to hear your feedback on our startup (launching outta LDN), Tray is a cloud service focusing on email, it allows you to define rules on your inbox and intelligently handle incoming messages (think an advanced iffft specificall

Interesting concept.. why did it not continue? I took a look at the paper, and noticed there was something about rendering the relationships between bits of data, but cant see that anywhere?
