That's incredibly useful feedback. Thanks for taking the time to mention that.

I think one thing I'm definitely missing are use cases, which would help people understand that product better. I'll see what I can do about making the screenshots more obvious as well.

I've been toying with the idea of creating a demo with pre-populated content and letting people play around with it on the site. Would that be something you'd try out as a passerby who happened to land on the site?

I tend to treat such demos as nothing more than glorified screenshots. For example, Mailpile has a demo similar to what you described and I spent maybe 10 seconds in it clicking on a couple buttons. That said, I'm sure it is very useful to some other people. I'd recommend getting in touch with some of the Mailpile guys or anyone else who can relay their experiences about how useful it is.
