@_jacksmith thanks Jack! If you want access to private beta just send me an email to daniel@mailburn.com - we are more than happy to invite fellow PH users. If you don't like less stable private builds then wait till we release a public beta in 2-3 weeks.

@stuartgoldfarb we are the only ones that provide a different interface for different types of email and focus on business users, meaning we integrate with business systems like Salesforce or JIRA and add some email-related business features like open/read notifications, email reminders and so on.

@stuartgoldfarb I guess I should have replied from my personal handle. Let me expand a little on what differentiates us. There are many email clients but all of them are targeting mass market - it's just another email client. Or if they target business users, they work in the same old paradigm of from-subject-snippet. Email was created in an age of big screens and crappy interfaces and hasn't changed since then. Email has evolved from just talking to other people to managing tasks, calendar events, reading news and many other activities. And those activities require different workflows, and thus different interfaces. Our goal is to rethink whole user experience and provide people with clean interface, that suits those activities. It might be IM for messaging over email, feed-like interface for reading news and so on. On top of that we integrate business solutions into your email client so you can do basic actions without leaving email, like close or reassign task, or create a lead from email. We know that email will not die in the next few years, but the interface will change dramatically. Our idea is to use email as a transport only and build a proper business tool on top of it.

@motosamurai not sure I'm getting it. If I was going to communicate with someone in this fashion, why wouldn't I just use my messaging app?

@stuartgoldfarb because you don't communicate over WhatsApp with your partners, customers or sub-contractors. You use email for that.
