Mailbox, from Dropbox (plus 1 GB of space to your Dropbox)

Great, so now we don't even make email clients anymore; now we make Gmail clients. The open Internet sure is alive and well in the age of Google.

I just don&#x27;t want to take read&#x2F;dealt-with emails out of my inbox. Which Mailbox can be configured to work with - only it shows 4,400 &quot;unread&quot; messages as a badge icon. The options available in-app are &quot;always show 1,&quot; &quot;show number of messages in inbox,&quot; and &quot;never show any&quot;<p>I want to see the number of unread messages in the inbox only. Not the total number. Not an arbitrary number. Not zero. Is that too much to ask? Outlook lets me do it, Mail.app lets me do it. It makes sense. So why not? Why force your beliefs and practices and methodologies on me? I have my reasons for keeping all my read mail in my inbox, and I&#x27;m not going to change that for a silly app.

I can&#x27;t help but think they have given up on the Mac client. It&#x27;s been at version 0.3.14 for an unbelievably long amount of time--so long that I&#x27;ve just gone back to Mac Mail.

Really, really wish they would add IMAP support for the rest of us that would prefer not to use Google for email. FastMail + Mailbox would be killer.<p>( I use Mailbox with my work email and love it )

Pretty cool. I wish it supported regular IMAP accounts. We could use a modern general mail client. Gmail is quite well-served already.

Where&#x27;s IMAP support? FastMail + Mailbox would be killer.

As much as I love Mailbox&#x27;s flow for handling my email, I can&#x27;t get over the performance issues and random crashes with the app. After a few weeks of usage the app slows down on launch and becomes a chore to use.<p>In contrast, Outlook (previously Acompli) is very stable. It may require more taps to do something like move an email to a specific label, but at least the app performs well and hasn&#x27;t crashed on me once.

I&#x27;m confused. Is this the same Mailbox that I&#x27;ve been using on my iPhone for like two years? Why is this news?

Sweet thanks! just d&#x2F;l client on phone and open it and click link to dropbox and you get the extra GB.

anyone know whats new here, if anything?

Awesome thanks! I just got notified that nearly 50% of my current capacity is getting revoked because the giveaway from the college Space Race promotion was only for a limited time, so the extra gig is helpful! (And I&#x27;ll try out Mailbox too, I guess...)

I don&#x27;t personally see what problem this is solving. As with Carousel, Dropbox hasn&#x27;t wowed me with their releases lately. What is compelling about this over the thousands of other mail clients &#x2F; gmail skins out there?

I&#x27;ve been using Mailbox for quite a while, and I find the concepts and design of it to be quite good.<p>It&#x27;s just a shame that it&#x27;s tied to gmail and forces you to use Dropbox. Makes it useless for many of us at work.

Why did Dropbox make an email client?

The correct title should be: Plus 1 GB of Dropbox space (and Mailbox)

Email is the most difficult protocol to manage that is still alive these days on the internet, so no one can implement it besides three or two companies. It is difficult to understand why people like having these @gmail or @outlook names.

I don&#x27;t use gmail, so mbsync + mu4e for me.

I tried Mailbox ... did not really work for me.
