Ok. This is really useful for people who love getting email :P In all seriousness, Slack already makes you have less email, so why not just get it sent right to Slack? There are enough useful use cases for this tool from getting your own important emails faster right in Slack (cause who doesn't have email push notifications off, right?!) to getting feedback and support emails pushed to a multi-person Slack channel.
Thanks for hunting Mailbot @hnshah ! We hope this simple tool will help people who use Slack as the main communication tool to stay on top of their inboxes. If you have any questions about Mailbot we'll be more than happy to answer them!

@alexbabin@hnshah seems ironic to get email notifications on slack but i guess until we get away from email completely, this is a necessary evil :)
great idea and execution!
Hey! Great product added it today for my work email and in slack. I noticed that not all emails come through even though I have all unread messages checked. Is it only new emails and any replies to legacy do not come through?
@joshenglish Josh, thank you for giving it a try. Activity is increasing in an enormous pace and we were fixing it on the fly. Should work ok now. Let us know if you see any issues again.

@alexbabin Just sent emails to myself but still not receiving emails through slack. I have it set to receive through slackbot which should work sense it is a private chain.
@androidlove Carlos. Thank you. First of all we are going to make MailBot smarter. The plan is to integrate the same AI engine we have in our email app Zero into Mailbot. Then we'll expand to other platforms for sure.

@alexbabin iOS route again, I guess Slack is the dominant player... at least in development circles.
@bayka Great idea! We are collecting feature requests and would love to start adding them. Reply, Forward, Delete Archive, I think would also be necessary to really improve the productivity and allow users to do some commonly used actions on emails, without leaving Slack.
@ryanamurphy No, it is pro-slack:) Mailbot just makes it easier to stay focused. We'll all have email and we'll use it. But if you are in Slack you don't have to be distracted constantly to see what's happening in your inbox. The bot will let you know about that.
