As a software/web developer myself I have a lot of admiration and affection for the Polymail team. I saw the website a month or two ago when looking around for alternatives to Mailbox after it was clear it was about to be killed off. I thought it looked amazing but must be a long way off. Despite being badged as an Alpha - in Polymail I've had one of the most reliable pieces of new software I've used for a long time. I trust it, I feel reassured by the daily updates and continual improvements. The minor niggles (very few there have been) that have been fed-back by me and others in the slack group were acknowledged and addressed incredibly quickly. This is a team on a mission - and it's exciting. Then the iOS alpha was announced. I was warned it was early days and it was truly an Alpha. These guys' idea of an Alpha is more like bigger player's release candidates. The app just works so well! Except it doesn't "JUST" anything. It's beautifully designed. The usability and user experience will be instantly familiar to anyone who's used Mailbox or Airmail or similar. But better. I echo some of the other sentiments on this thread about the nervousness around it being free software. Even in it's current state I'd happily be paying for it. I really hope the team are confident to make it a chargeable product, with revenue stream early on. As I'd really hate the app to disappear. Thank you team PolyMail! Keep up the good work.
