agreed. it's all the lockin of a non-IMAP service, but with a couple of UX things that seem nice (?) and others can easily add. Maybe google won't rip off quite as blatantly as facebook and snap but... something similar will show up as a gmail labs project or a mixmax / gmail UI add-on
Is there anything here that is unique and server side to justify cutting off email from being an open (messy but free) standard to a proprietary thing?
