Mailbox, the
popular email client for iPhone, is finally doing away with its reservation
system and accepting new signups immediately.
The app launched in February to
widespread acclaim, but Mailbox's staggered rollout scheme proved to be an
annoyance to many users. It also failed at its fundamental purpose of preventing the app from
experiencing downtime. At its peak, the reservation queue swelled to
more than one million users. That massive popularity led Dropbox to scoop up Mailbox to the tune of $100 million,
promising to keep the product alive and evolving in the future.
Ten weeks of
"around-the-clock" work combined with whatever resources Dropbox is
pumping into Mailbox seems to have done the job, with the app now scaled to
deliver up to 100 million messages per day. Considering there's no waiting
involved, now could be a good time to test out the Mailbox's unique approach to
inbox management. [Source]
