Imagine paying monthly for an email app …

Polar ,

If you’re going to pay, you might as well pay for something like ProtonMail and get an actual product.

Is there a way to view multiple email accounts simultaneously? I love everything about this product, but I can’t find a way to do this and it’s killing me.

kratoz29 ,

I am settled with Spark, I need my email app to be multi platform and inbox zero.

Installed it. Initially thought that it had potential. Then I found that unless you pay 9$ a month, your search results only display messages from the last 90 days. Absolute deal breaker.

I’m still holding out for Mozilla to bring us Thunderbird Mobile

Really looking forward to the K9/Thunderbird lovechild.

I just don’t use email enough anymore, except for work which is all Outlook.

fred OP ,

I tried it then uninstalled when I realized it was just a wrapper.

A bit too late for that now. Once they killed Inbox I just migrated everything to ProtonMail. Don’t even use my Gmail address anymore.

Proton have great apps!

I would really suggest people to read their privacy policy - it is horrible. Good app but makes no sense for the exchange of privacy it demands.

callinean ,

Facebook, Whatsapp, X and Instagram are the top apps - do you think people really care about privacy policy? Not confusing an email client with social media apps but the general mass doesn’t care about privacy policy yet.

cRazi_man ,

True, but we should normalise talking about prioritising privacy.

rikudou ,

Here on Lemmy there’s slightly more privacy-sensitive demographic than your average social media. It was true even back on Reddit and it seems even more true here.

Nevermore ,
@Nevermore@lemmy.world avatar

Good for the people who use them. I don’t.

I’ll still speak out against any app with such a heinous privacy policy.

rush ,

If people didn’t care, privacy wouldn’t be a marketing tool and things like “App Tracking Transparency” that Apple added to iOS a while ago wouldn’t have worked so well.

Also, do you close your door when you go on the toilet, or go around telling everyone your credit card details?

Things like these don’t come from ignorance of privacy, but rather services are explicitly designed to lock you in and have unbearably long privacy policies and ToS agreements.

doc ,

Looks like this is only compatible with gmail. Anyone know otherwise?

anonyplum ,

Any FOSS alternatives to Inbox/Shockwave?

warmaster ,

Yeah, that would be great. I haven’t found anything like it sadly.

There’s a KDE itinerary plugin for Thunderbird but that’s about it, all the rest of the features are missing.

Why did Google kill inbox? Was it somehow not profitable? Couldn’t cram enough ads into it?

Why did google kill [product]?

Insert anything from the ever-growing google graveyard.

I assume it had too small popularity comparing to Gmail, introduced confusion - two mail services, required resources and extra communication between teams. So, some one decide to optimize.

If I recall correctly, inbox was kind of test/beta product.

shashi154263 ,

Same reason why Google Now was killed. It was too useful for users. You open the app, you get the info you want. In fact, you don’t even need to open the app. That’s the problem, they had no place to insert the ads and make money.

MHcharLEE ,

That makes a terrifying amount of sense and I never looked at this issue from the angle you presented. God damn it, fucking capitalism.

callinean ,

Cannot recall what was Google Now. I remember Google+.

pink ,

I ended up switching most of my email usage to Hey and that’s been okay enough. I really miss inbox though.

mojo ,

you name drop “Inbox” like we know wtf app that is

habanhero ,

It was a pretty decent email app developed by Google back in the day. They discontinued it a few years ago and some features made it into the Gmail app, but not all.

520 , (edited )

A popular mail app that was bought developed by Google and, for the most part, became the Gmail app we know today.

Edit: initially and mistakenly thought that Inbox was an app Google acquired

anonymous_bot ,

Uh what? Google developed Inbox. And its features were not all transferred 100% to Gmail either.

alexrmay91 ,

I was very ready to agree with 520, but did some digging first. I was thinking of an old app called Mailbox. It was bought by Dropbox and faded away after that. I loved that app a lot.

That was my bad, corrected

Incorrect

520 ,

Yep, my bad!

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Literally second paragraph of the article:

For context, Google set out to revolutionize how we deal with emails with its alternative Gmail interface Inbox in 2014. The service eschewed the chronological thread-based nature of regular email clients in favor of a to-do style interface, allowing you to reorder, snooze, and bundle emails. Inbox was killed just five years later, and we’ve been left without a proper in-house replacement ever since

This app feels so sluggish in my Samsung S21 Ultra. I do not know what is the issue.

I mainly use Aqua Mail Pro.

roneyxcx ,

That is because the android app is a wrapper around web app, rather than being fully native app.

figaro ,

I really don’t understand companies that do this. They have millions of dollars at their disposal. Build a real app lol

odbol ,

Actually pretty much all companies do this in some form or another. Even Gmail and lots of other Google apps use web instead of native for some parts. They just do it well. When a company does it poorly it really shows.
