I finally got the app today, but it doesn't seem to have sound or notification banners/alerts, it only shows the badge on the app icon? anyone know something?
edit: when sending emails to myself (hotmail to gmail) it only shows the badge number on the app icon, when I received an email from yahoo answers it did make a sound.

Settings-->Notifications-->Mailbox. Check to see if it has notifications turned on and sounds turned on.
No aliases for Gmail account - minus
No other accounts than Gmail - minus
Some one the emails are displayed incorrectly, while Sparrow/Mail.app does it great - minus.
Attachment download is slow - minus.
I can't see why it is better than Sparrow or other mail app.

I tried it for 5 minutes. You can't label anything (Gmail labels, despite the fact that the app only supports Gmail...). Went right back to the Gmail app.
I have only 20k people left in front of me and I am seeing too many reviews like this. All this waiting and I am probably going to be disappointed.
Why not wait? It's free, and you lose nothing simply by leaving it installed in your iphone (stuff it in a folder if you don't want it cluttering up your homescreen). It's not like queuing up for tickets to a concert where you literally have to put your entire life on hold.
I've tried it but I don't see the point of having it right now. Quite happy with the stock mail app.
Yes, but you don't lose your spot in line.
I was worried about that when I did a restore, but it left off where I was.

I don't believe that.
You should send another email to reservationinfo@mailboxapp.com or support@mailboxapp.com and give them the number you used for your reservation and they can reset it so you get your spot back.
Does anyone know average time it takes to get to actually get the reservation spot. Just curious. I downloaded app a week ago and still at 653,079 have 184,024 behind me.
About 2 weeks ago I was at around 450k in front and 0 behind (when I first got the app). Now, I'm at 89k. The rate at which the reservations are being granted you should be in no later than 3 weeks I'd say.
Oh ok not bad at all. Thanks for answering
No problem, I'll be sure to post a "review" of the app when I get in.
My word hasn't the world got very demanding. A free app makes you wait a little bit of time and we expect it to change our lives! It has its faults but these issues will be addressed like every other app in time.
You can create lists, which I find incredibly useful. Create lists, and then swipe too add to your lists? Simple and easy.
It does have notifications (for new emails, as well as emails you've snoozed). Make sure you go into settings and have notifications enabled for mailbox.
And in the app settings (swipe right from your mailbox, all the way at the bottom go to settings), you can change what the badge count is for.
