Reservation System Announced for Upcoming 'Mailbox' Email App - Page 2

Can't wait for this app to launch. I got in a while ago, I lucked out with #1999. Hopefully I'll get in on launch date.

I'd assume that the IMAP servers would be customizable. But I could be wrong.

I'm number 942. We'll see if this app launches when it is supposed to and whether it lives up to all the hype.

190492, sigh. Of course, I signed up with my email address a month or so ago, so who knows. Someday it'll launch and someday we'll be allowed in.

Their business model is probably selling your phone numbers.

Its eddy cue's son. The blogs have an Apple link for hit fodder

And I agree that this whole reservation system seems a tad off. Not to mention unnecessary really.

And this "reservation system" seems very suspicious. Give them your phone number? I don't think so! This is a piece of software. Spin up more servers if you have too much demand. If they can't quickly respond to user load, their architecture was badly designed. The tech press should be slamming them for this, but again it's all fairy dust and rainbows.

I think it's one of those apps that the company makes just to try to get the company bought, much like sparrow, but more intentional.

Jemi9OD: Drop an email to reservationinfo@mailboxapp.com - - if you signed up with an email address early we can look it up for you!

This is going to sound ridiculous, but I almost wish I had more mail to sort through just so I could fly through it with this app.

*Reserve* your copy of the free app lol? I didn't know apps had a production limit.

Good for you, didn't receive anything.

Edit: I checked my mail just now, I send an email complaining about it, got a reservation code and I'm at 172177
