A good free one?

If you rely on email, it's worth paying for.

I'm a paying Fastmail customer, and it's worth every cent.

Please no. I just started using ProtonMail and plan to lower my usage of gmail... I don't want other clients held to an arbitrary standard of email

ProtonMail may not be the best choice if you're a stickler for standards. Their service unapologetically works only within ProtonMail. Send an e-mail to someone with a different provider and they get a link to a https view of the email.

For encrypted emails, yes. Not for regular emails.

They don't support PGP (Does Gmail?) at the moment, but are apparently working on it. What other approaches are there?

FWIW, this has been around for a long while now. I like being able to do things like confirm a sign up to a service, close support tickets, get shipping ETAs etc. with just one click on the global Inbox view rather than having to open an email up.

Looking to incorporate these into our own SaaS apps too, as soon as I get some spare time. I think this is a step in the right direction to reduce Inbox fatigue. Here's hoping that Google will be vigilant enough to stop people abusing this service.

This is a bad thing. Gmail needs to be e-mail and nothing more or this is EEE.

Mmmnnn. Not sure if want. My inbox is cluttered enough already. Can see this getting abused by spammers and advertisers. I start getting "Pampered Chef invites" popping up all over my calendar.

You have to be an approved sender to use this. I think if enough people report your emails as spam you automatically lose access to these features.

Sorry, what's EEE?

I think he means Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

Then please extinguish email, Google. I would guess that something better would take its place.

The only danger is that some proprietary service sucks it all up.

Name another way of invisibly embedding a JSON object in HTML in every browser without requiring CSS.

What, you mean some proprietary service like Gmail?
