Does this mean forever, account-specific, like I'm grandfathered in? Or does it mean when I get a new phone, I won't be able to do it?
How do you know that I haven't? I did contact support, but I came here as well to see if anybody else had the problem.
Seems as though you are the typical ASSuming jerk.

Congrats! I got in at 3:30 this morningloving it so far
What happened after you hit zero ahead of you? The app just keeps showing zero and negative numbers for me and won't do anything else
I haven't read anything concrete but it seems like the general consensus is that it is device specific not account specific. I guess you could try adding the account to an iOS device you haven't activated on google sync before to see.
Finally got in today. Does anyone know how sub-inboxes work? Or is that not allowed in this version?

We're experiencing sync issues please stay tuned.
Were currently seeing intermittent issues with our servers syncing mail. Weve paused filling reservations so that we can focus on a fix.
If youre currently using Mailbox, youre most likely seeing a message that says Having trouble connecting, please try again soon. Dont worry, any messages that you take action on or any new emails you create should not be lost. Once we have resolved the issue your Mailbox will simply update and process all actions youve taken inside the app.
The team is working on resolving this now, and well let you know as soon as were filling reservations again. We hope to get things moving shortly.
Thank you for your patience,
The Mailbox Team
Well I downloaded and after 3 days still half a million people before me so deleted
Cant argue with people frustrated but then again not sure why you would delete. If its a good app, you just sign up and in a week or two you get it. Its like signing up for notification when an app is released.
And to each his own with regards to all apps but this is def not like any other mail app. If you are big into the GTD movement and use Gmail (and like me pass other accounts through gmail) this app is unmatched right now (that i know of). By far the easiest way to blend email with GTD. And its still a 1.0 release.
Its not that you cant accomplish a similar thing with just the gMail app its that this app is specifically built around the workflow of email and GTD. Gmail is not. And hence this is more fluid and works better.
But like I said, to each his own. Every person's workflow is different and it will not work for everyone. And nothing its doing is not easily copied - at least as far as i can tell - so if it becomes successful watch how many clones comes out. That will tell you all you need to know.
Hmm, interesting. Didn't even think about using the iPhone app with retinapad (I'm jaikbroken too). I think I'll try that. Thanks.
Went from 750K in front of me to 667K in front of me in a week.. This app better be good for this long of a wait. I have read mixed things about it, so don't know if its worth the wait.
I got in pretty early with the reservation (still ended up waiting about a week after the app was released before my reservation # was up...) and now that I've been using it for a few days I loooove it!
I asked earlier in the thread about account specific mailboxes, while someone did answer that they are displayed all in one view, that is mostly correct:
When you add more than one account, the unified inbox (where you see the daily instagram picture when you are at inboxzero) shows messages from all accounts, but if you swipe in from the left (or tap the menu button in the top left corner) you can go into specific inboxes for each account you've added.
For anyone that is curious, this app will allow you to sign into google hosted accounts with different @xxx.com/edu addresses (I have an email account hosted through google for my university, and signing into that account allowed it to be added to mailbox)...
I tend to use emails as a way to remind myself about things I need to do (go buy tickets for this airfare sale over the weekend, go reply to this person you met from your meeting etc) and while it works pretty easily on my desktop to just go look at unread or starred messages, from my phone, these quickly dropped out of view. For the way I use email, the 'snooze till later' aspect of mailbox is a godsend! I love being able to put off emails to be reminded about them later today, tomorrow, this weekend, etc. I can quickly clear out my inbox and still know I'll get reminders about the things I need to be reminded of, when I need to be reminded of them. This carries over to the web client of gmail [not sure about the desktop mail program (Mail.app OSX) I use, between my phone and iPad I'm only on the laptop once every couple of weeks] because the inbox will have messages that were snoozed reappear in the inbox at whatever time interval you specified.
Those are my thoughts, and as soon as support is added for other account types (and an iPad native app is released) I will be switching to this entirely as my mail client on iOS.
Features that would be nice to see in the future:
- Folder support
- Tags
- Rules (ie daily messages about xyz that I know I read each evening are automatically snoozed until this evening based on sender address, subject line or whatever other criteria I'd set)
- A web portal that shows you a similar view for all your messages (which would make setting up larger rules, bulk tagging and folders much easier, but we kinda already have Gmail.com for that I guess)
Hey guys is it just me or this doesn't have push notifications? I have enabled it in the app and the settings app. Just doesn't notify me when I get a mail.
It's just you.
Oh wait I am getting it now after I restarted my iPhone! Best email app ever! Now we just need the mac and ipad app!
