Cons
- There’s no POP account support
- There’s no push notification
- I wish the developer can add in Cloud services like dropbox, box.net, sugarsync and etc to attach documents 😀
- I wish there’s a select all button before setting them to “all read” or “all delete” so I can clear spam folder faster.
- Hopefully additional spam filter that gmail have but I know it’s going to be tough to implement that
- I’m not sure if it’s possible to display avatar from the address book
- A little pricy for a application that duplicates a free native email client with slight improvement on user interface & features.
Overall, I’m still happy with my purchase and hopefully more features will be implemented soon! 😀
