Hey guys, Alex here from the Mailroom team. Ruben, thanks for the kind support as always.
The majority of the negative ratings on Mailroom seem to come from two places: 1) People who think it is "just a wrapper" 2) People who want push As a brief aside, it's so hard operating in the App Store and not having the ability to connect with unhappy customers, especially when they're unhappy for reasons we could help correct. That drives us insane! Anyway - the "just a wrapper" folks are usually only spending a moment or two with the app, looking for that "whizbang" moment. The account saving/switching feature in combination with unread counts (and our trusty TrueNew counter) makes many, many people very happy. But when you actually start using the app, so of the most useful features are ones that you don't even realize are missing from Gmail until you use them: - Native iPhone address book support - Native image/attachment handling - Offline caching Being more abrupt in presenting those features is an option we considered, but we find that most people love the "just works" elegance. As far as push - we want to do this, too. What we DON'T want to do is be responsible for storing your username and password somewhere on a server in order to poll your account for new messages. We've been talking with some folks from the Gmail team about options, and rest assured - as soon as we have an option that we think is elegant and sustainable, we'll have it in Mailroom. Thanks for giving it a try! -Alex usemailroom.com On Feb 9, 7:20 am, Tim Lahey <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, Feb 9, 2011 at 6:52 AM, Ruben Bakker <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thanks for the kind words, I appreciated the feedback! > > Personally, I find Mailroom a good app. > > > @all: Which iPhone/iPad apps do you use for email? > > I use a combination.
