Nice, shame they don't support non-gmail yet. Although the UI looks just like Fastmail with the minimalist web theme selected, which I highly recommend if you're not comfortable using GMail. I find it superior to GMails web UI in many ways.

They support gmail and iCloud I think.

I think there is room for improvements on email clients, so more competition is nice!

Some other newcomers are:

Unfortunately, Mailbox FAQ question 'Does Mailbox store my emails on its servers?' => 'Yes, but...' is a deal-breaker for me (sadly).

It's still nice to see the innovation though.

As it is for me. When I think about the sheer quantity of services that I subscribe to that could be hijacked via a password reset email that falls into the wrong hands, I shudder at the thought of having copies of my mail stored somewhere else.

Hell, every few weeks I consider hosting my own email instead of relying on Gmail. Not that I believe I could do a better job security-wise, but the idea of minimizing the number of 3rd parties that have access to what amounts to my entire digital life (and the ability to destroy it at will) is very appealing.

Also AirMail, full featured with support for minimal ui, first class gmail and exchange, and todo actions.

And none of them (including Mailbox) has support of encryption. How sad.

It is really a shame, because the only native e-mail client that I actually used and loved was Sparrow. Then they got acquired and shattered my hopes and dreams. Now it is just Gmail web.

I find AirMail to be similar in style with a ton of advanced features. Have you tried using that?
