Great app! On-boarding was totally seamless. Tested using my dummy email. First thing I did was to delete all of my junk mail in a few swipe gestures! That my friend is flawless! On the other hand UI and UX could still use some improvements but I'm pretty sure that's already on your pipeline. Overall, like what others said, this is really something. Congrats to the entire team! :)
Edit: Would love to hear your take on your users privacy in all this
@mistakenlyiteps Thank you!! we are constantly improving UI and UX; pipeline is loaded but we are always happy to get specific feedback and adjust priorities accordingly.
User privacy is sacred. Each user is our customer, not our product.
Fantastic experience so far! Question: Is there a way to "teach" Hop that a sender should be under Priority rather than Other? I've tried adding the person as a contact, and the email was sent to me directly in the To field so I'm wondering why it identified it as non-important. Thanks!

Very exciting way to view person to person emails. How does the app handle group messages where a participant leaves or enters the conversation later? This is a common issue that's not handled consistently in a lot of email clients currently.
@brandononearth hop supports both regular to,cc email groups, and real persistent groups over email !

Feels like a messaging app between people you know. Are there examples of formal communication and of how the email looks to someone who doesn't use the app?
@carrie_ivens Hi, it's totally seamless. That's the beauty of it. email is open to everyone - nothing changes. For example, when you tap on each of the chat 'bubbles' - Hop opens the 'traditional' view of the message

Love this concept. Amazing idea, well done. A couple questions:
1. Plans to include pop/imap email accounts in the future?
2. The idea of "Groups" wasn't clear (I thought it was a filtering tool) and I just spammed 50 people with an email I didn't know was going to be sent. Not cool. Maybe explain better what it is (group email messaging) and alert the user that the people they are adding will get an email.
3. Any way to prioritize users so their stuff shows up at the top all the time?
@deanbrady thank you!
1. Yep. we have already built the infrastructure for that. we will get to it after making sure all the popular services work smoothly
2. You are right. This is a limited access version to product hunt community and we will be clearer on many other features as well. The current Groups works very much in line with common IM services like WhatsApp & Messenger - just this is email and open to all.
3. On the home screen you see all threads, but you can activate 'other' to automatically bundle all emails you never corresponded with to one place. You can move contacts and convos from main to other by swipe and tap the 🕓

Really cool. I like the calendar integration as a real context-switch savings, but the chat UX makes email young again. Why hasn't Google done this, like years ago?

Are there plans to parse out email footers such as confidentiality statements that could take up a full screen?
