Looks nice. Shame there's no Android version.

abgoldberg4• 12 years ago

The Android version is pretty far along and should be available later this year.

The page doesn't really sell the client to me at all if I'm not already familiar with the desktop version, which I'm not.

abgoldberg4• 12 years ago

Yeah, it just came out so we're still fleshing out the page. The main http://inky.com page and the App Store description / screenshots (http://appstore.com/inkymail) give a more complete picture.

I agree with OP. There is zero information as to why I should ditch the built-in mail app and head for Inky.

By far, in my opinion, the best iOs email client is CloudMagic. I've tried most of them and they nearly all suck, but I've been enjoying CloudMagic for a while now.

It's free. How does CloudMagic make money?

We have plans to charge users. - Chirag, CloudMagic

Inky on OS X is nightmare. I tried it twice, only able to launch the app and then ---- updating ....... Takes forever to finish so i just quit.

Same on Windows. I tried using it some time back but it didn't feel fast.

"Availabe". Things like this have a serious impact on first impressions.

abgoldberg4• 12 years ago

Oops! That's fixed now. Thanks for the heads up.

They nailed the one feature most "new" email clients fail at... IMAP. Unfortunately your accounts are accessible to the Inky developers due to "cloud sync."

abgoldberg4• 12 years ago

IMAP is definitely a complex beast, and we're excited to offer this over many of our competitors. We believe all email users deserve a modern client with innovative features.

As for the cloud sync, we do so in a completely secure way. Our employees cannot access your accounts or read your mail. See http://inky.com/faq/how-does-inky-store-my-passwords-and-oth... and http://inky.com/faq for more details.

I usually find these mail apps over simplified. One I did find recently that's been genuinely useful is Offline Mail https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/offline-mail-email-app-for/i...

A bit off-topic:

I gave the mac version a try and tried to use it for weeks. It's not good. The app is slow on OSX, the team doesn't really respond to queries on Twitter, and you can't access your mail without an internet connection.
