So in essence you have solved the problem of a mail client not properly notifying the user when mail does not send? I use Gmail, Mail, and Outlook. All of these notify me nearly instantaneously when a message does not send. On the odd occasion that my mail doesn't sync, I know almost immediately. Really, from my experience, email works quite well. As you say, you are reducing the time wasted by emails not sending and accounts not syncing so that time can be spent managing your email. That's fine, but we already have that. You say there is nothing you can do about the amount of mail people get. Unfortunately, that is the problem in the space I think. Mail clients and servers are very good at sending and receiving mail. But making the mail relevant, now that's a problem.

I see what you mean. For the time being I guess we are just trying to make a nice mail app. Hopefully in the long run we can differentiate ourselves more from the masses by determining as you said ways to show mail relevancy. We have a basic form of this at the moment in forms of the ability to filter by (Newsletters, Social, Personal, Service) but I hope we can expand it to be more useful in the future. Thanks for taking your time to get back to us, it really helps and means a lot :-)
