This is awesome - so excited for you guys! Love the interface, and the productivity features.Email tracking + rapportive-esque social lookup is unique in the mail client landscape.
What has been the most interesting insight from looking at the analytics on beta users? Features used more/less than expected? Weird edge cases that have popped up?
Congrats on launching! 🔥🔥🔥
@realsimonburns Thanks for the support, Simon! I think one of the biggest things we didn't expect was how many Office365 / Exchange users there were, even on Mac! As for features, our one-click unsubscribe has probably been the biggest sleeper hit so far - still early though , so looking forwarding to sharing more interesting insights soon!

I spent years looking for the email client that's just right for me -- an inbox zero philosophy, minimalist design and a companion app for Mac. While there are countless iOS mail apps, I never found one that was *exactly* what I wanted.
So when I got an invite to alpha test Polymail three weeks ago I was very happy to see that it was like Mailbox 2.0: all of the good features and none of the bugginess on OSX (yes, even the alpha version of Polymail was less buggy than the beta version Mailbox on OSX!). Since then the devs have iterated at an insane pace, delivering an iOS build well before the promised timeline. It's a pleasure alpha testing with them, they are very responsive to suggestions and often manage to incorporate them within a few days! I can't wait to see where they will take Polymail, I have no doubt it will be a killer app when released in the App Store!
insane execution from the team, to be able to knock this out in just a few weeks. perfect timing to be 'launching' this on the day that MailBox is shutting down.
I still haven't found something close to MailBox yet, but the way Polymail is heading, it looks like it could exceed Mailbox in the future
@daniellim Yes, on our todo list, along with Office 365 and IMAP :)

@shahan312@daniellim Piling on here: the ability to turn conversation view off would be a huge benefit in line with these features! I still rely on individual messages instead of the thread, as API-integrated actions (a la Zapier/IFTTT) act on the entire thread when using conversation view. (E.g., I have an IFTTT recipe that sends emails to my todo list if I put them in a certain folder, but with conversation view on, it'll create one task for each email in the thread.)
Mailbox was cool. But After testing Polymail on OSX for some time and now finally on iOS I can say: The Polymail team did not only crack email (again). The app has great features like Tracking, Undo Send and One click unsubscribe. They are even working on IMAP Support.
This set of features together with the great UI makes a combination that i couldn't find anywhere else. Keep it up!
This is, by far, the best email client I've ever used. I wandered between different apps for months (Mailbox, Gmail, Inbox, and then Outlook) before hearing about Polymail, meeting the team, and trying it out for myself.
What can I say other than they've managed to tie together the best parts of Mailbox, Sidekick, Fullcontact, and Inbox all in one, and managed to fit it into a quick and responsive iOS app?
If you're not on Polymail yet, you're missing out.
@burojevic Thank you Vedran! Happy to get you on 🙌

Reading through the comments here, it doesn't seem like there's very much I can add to the discussion. People are rightly impressed with Polymail and the effort they are putting out to provide us with a phenomenal email experience on both OS X and iOS. What impresses me most is that they aren't one of these companies claiming to reinvent email. Let's face it...email is not going to be reinvented. It is what it is. And it's going to stay that way for the foreseeable future. All email apps that claim to be reinventing email are really just complicating things. I'm not even convinced that email needs reinvented. It just needs improved. And that's the focus of Polymail. They take something we do every day, spend more time on than we want to admit, and they are improving it. They are taking the best ideas from other clients, mixing in a lot of incredibly smart ideas of their own, and producing a beautiful client that doesn't make me regret opening it. Aesthetically, it's a nice mix of minimalism and production. They still have a ways to go to perfect it and that normally scares me from completely adopting something but in this case, they are working so hard and pushing out updates so frequently I'm absolutely convinced they are going to get there. I can't say enough positive things for this group of developers. They are committed to providing a great email experience and I'm fully on board with them.
@mattmoberly "Let's face it...email is not going to be reinvented. It is what it is..." Well said. These guys are just about providing a great experience while doing something so trivial as email.
