Mailbox and this solve completely different problems. I love Mailbox because it creates the notion that "read" does not mean done (and I can ask it to remind me about stuff). It also makes my email my todo app, which is nice since I only have to have one app. This is a really powerful change to the way i've used email and has made me more way more productive and organized.

SquareOne looks really interesting, and I think it and Mailbox could complement each other, but to me SquareOne is super smart filters for mail, while Mailbox changes the way I use email in its base form.

It's cool that MailBox will remind you later about a message you want to revisit. But apart from this, how does their notion of marking for later differ from starring/flagging a message in a conventional mail client? It seems like all they've really done is rebrand flagging with reminders built in.

Another day, another email client that isn't out yet.

Take it from someone with 11,734 unread (not spam, but not useful) emails in GMAIL...I need SquareOne
