Mailbox säger adjö

Mångas favoritklient för e-post har beslutat att stänga ner för gott.

-”It’s with heavy hearts that we let you know Mailbox will shut down…”

Mailbox dröm om att förenkla hanteringen av e-post går i graven den 26 februari 2016.

Mailbox såldes till Dropbox år 2013 i hopp om större kapital för utveckling men nu väljer Dropbox att skrota satsningen då appen inte passar in i företagets satsning för ett förbättrat arbetsflöde utan e-post.

Själv har jag redan nu raderat appen från min fruktskål och kör helt och hållet Inbox för Gmail vilket är ett mycket kompetent alternativ. Kolla även in getmailbird.com.

I sitt mail om nedläggningen säger Mailbox så här:

-”It’s with heavy hearts that we let you know Mailbox will shut down on February 26, 2016.

Mailbox ignited a shift in mobile email and many of its innovations are now ubiquitous across the industry. It’s been a great journey, and we’re proud of this impact and grateful to the community that helped make it possible.

When the Mailbox team joined Dropbox in 2013, we shared a passion for simplifying the way people work together. And solving the email problem seemed like a strong complement to the challenges Dropbox was already tackling.

But as we’ve increased our focus on collaboration, we realized there’s only so much an email app can do to fundamentally improve email. We’ve come to believe that the best way for us to improve people’s productivity going forward is to streamline the workflows that generate so much email in the first place.

We know saying goodbye to Mailbox will be hard for many. To help make the transition to a new email client easier, we’ve created guides and export tools. For more information about how we’ll be winding down Mailbox, please visit the Mailbox website.

Thank you to everyone who helped bring Mailbox to life, whether by spreading the word, letting us know what you liked (and didn’t like), or simply using the product. You taught us so much, and we’re deeply grateful.

—The Mailbox Team
