I think email today "just works," esp. since spam filtering became decent and auto-categorization. I don't think being a new email host is where the win could be but at the client end. That's what recent successes like Superhuman, Hey have been.

HEY is not a client but a full email hosting service. I disagree that "email just works". As other commenters here have pointed out, there are many niches and improvements to be made that match with evolving trends in society, e.g., privacy-conciousness.
Agreed that backend email service is at its mature state, and agreed too on improving the user journey. I wonder how Hey is doing.
