So I download the iOS app and the Mac app on my laptop. This is just a first impression, though, and it’s quite possibly wrong, and that the 3 founders of Polymail are passionate about email and building a better experience for consumers. But I’ve often suspected that a product built with an exit in mind from the get-go lacks the passion and attention to detail that other products have-like what Mailbox had.
