Apple needs a better Mail client or a Pro version of the same. I switch to Post box and BOY I'm glad! http://www.postbox-inc.com

This also reminded me of Persona Mail (http://www.personamail.info) concept. Following the same approach. Are the guys behind unibox the same?
This isn't even up. Nor is .Mail. Again, just premature teasing and some shallow hopes that it'll be delivered.
+1 to everything written here. I'm fine using gmail web access for those times I don't have access at home or through iPhone, but otherwise I prefer email providers to act simply as the backend server.
Add offline access/use, which I think wasn't mentioned - if internet goes down at home, or more important if I'm traveling and don't have data access, it's great to be able to read downloaded emails on iphone, delete, respond, compose, and then sync up once online again.
Exchange ActiveSync and Exchange are not the same things. The default Mail app doesn't support ActiveSync and neither does Outlook 2011 for Mac. POP3 is the only way to access Hotmail/Outlook.com mail accounts on OS X. Considering that my iPhone supports ActiveSync, I don't know why Apple can't make OS X Mail, Calender and Contacts support it too.
If you don't like mac mail why not use a proper email client for os x like thunderbird?
This whole social 'integration' obsession is disgusting.

Hasn't Thunderbird's development stopped?
I myself don't care for social features though.
Classic product mistake
Visually enticing splash screen and an application icon. Looks like someone tried to wrap an entire application around a design concept. Very sparse information on the development blog. Unfortunately, pretty screenshots (real or not) aren't necessarily evidence of real progress. Personally I don't care one way or the other since I happen to like Mail. Hopefully this app (if it ever launches) will surpass expectations and restore the developer's credibility.
But seriously people, announce a product when it's available. Haven't we all learned this yet?

Well, I got an invitation to apply for the beta, not an actual invitation to the beta itself. The sign-up form asked stuff like who my email providers are (Gmail, iCloud, etc), presumably so they don't send out betas to people whose providers they don't support yet.
Mail.app is so underwhelming that a nice replacement would be most welcome, and I'd be willing to pay for it, but only if it supports iCloud email's instant delivery as opposed to fetching every X minutes.
Persona Mail
No we are not the same guys behind unibox. You can see our app and progress at http://www.personamail.com

So, about this app.
It appears to me unibox is simply an inbox with all your accounts.
Cannot even move an email to another folder. What is it I am missing.
