It looks like it's for little kids.

No retina support. =(

Install it, and first thing it asks you to do is create an account with them. ⌘-Q

Really weird product. I tried it on Windows and after playing with it for about 5 minutes, I uninstalled it. A few factors that led to this:

• The welcome/signup process felt a little clunky
• The visual aesthetic feels like it prioritizes being pretty over being usable
• I unchecked 'Subscribe to the Inky Mailing List?' during the signup process, but it was automatically checked again when I clicked 'Finish' to proceed. I wasn't happy when I received that 'Confirm your subscription' email.
• The sidebar full of Smart Filters is too heavy handed. Way too many choices here. It made me not want to check my email.
• I feel like the most important interface elements I want to access while reading an email – Delete, Archive, etc. – are too far away from the email message itself. The first time I went to delete an email, I actually paused for a second to ground myself and figure out where to go in order to accomplish the task.
• I don't like the "ink drops" that try to tell me which of my emails is more important. You might respond with "But you can correct Inky if it guesses wrong!" That's exactly my point. I can tell Inky what emails are relevant. Why not ditch the guesswork and empower the user from the beginning? No one knows better than me which emails I care most about.
• I don't understand why the sidebar is black and the top nav is blue. The grouping of buttons doesn't appear logical. The affordances are super unclear and I almost always felt unsure of what does what. I found myself constantly clicking buttons to find out what they did.
• Using icons everywhere and relying on hover labels to explain what they do is really annoying, especially when it's used for every critical function of the app.
• The lengthy guided tour gave me the impression that cool features were prioritized over user interface design. The experienced that followed that tour confirmed that impression for me.

It's an interesting mvp to present to VC's but it's definitely not a product. Waste of time.

No retina, no bueno.

I explicitly unticked the "Sign me up for the mailing list" on both accounts I added and both accounts received "Confirm your subscription" emails from Mailchimp.

Hey Inky, here's a tip for you: if I say I don't want to join your mailing list, perhaps I don't want to join it?

I tried it about a month ago. I think it's an example of flat design taken too far; I often had no idea where to click, or if what I was clicking on would even react.

I like the idea, and I'm genuinely looking for -something- better than Sparrow (Airmail's close). This isn't it for me.

Been using this for 8 days now and I agree with you all. Pile of shite! :)

Is this still an Adobe Air app? I installed it a few years ago and it was slow as heck.

Until Mailbox develops a mac native app I'll stick with Airmail. Seems like a beta release rather than a full working product.

Imho the landingpage has too much information.

and it's visually a little too bold. It's a mail client - something that I spend a lot of time on. This heaviness is uncomfortable.

Airmail is way better than whatever this is.

Switched to Airmail from Mac Mail and haven't looked back.

Too buggy at the moment to make the full switch.

I tried this too when I was looking for alternative clients. Went with Airmail in the end, because Inky didn't like Gmail too much, but that seems to be crashing a lot lately as well!

Couldn't log in with gmail. 3 tries.

I like it! Gonna try it out for a few days, see how it works.

One minor complaint: It doesn't work with my company's exchange emails.

Installed it, crashed. Re-opened it, crashed.
