"All the processing happens within the SlideMail app itself. Whether you're syncing through Gmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL Mail, or any other IMAP based email service, your emails will never be stored outside of your app. If you delete the application from your phone, your data is gone for good." This is interesting.



And a differentiator. Otherwise all of the functionality described is already provided by GMail (and possibly others that I don't use frequently).


Yeah, totally. I think with these features, one group that it has resonated with that was unexpected were college students and people that are less tech saavy like my mom and my dad.

They still use Yahoo mail so Inbox / Gmail just doesn't work for them. SlideMail sort of brings what the Gmail app has to offer, in my opinion, enhances it and provides it for IMAP in general as well as other services.


but is that enough to make people switch?
