You mean other than SMTP or POP? Those are both definitely public APIs.
Those also require your password, as far as I'm aware.

Your landing page is nice, but I'd really like to see a proper screenshot available.
Did the tilted screenshot on the homepage show up? We had some JS issues earlier. Here's a full screenshot of our current iteration just in case: http://i39.tinypic.com/xfug5d.png

iOS apps would be awesome since I think that is where email is still suffering the most and where seeing the most important/relevant messages first matters most.
I sent a note via the website about parsing Amazon delivery notes for shipment tracking numbers, then pulling in delivery dates via FedEx/UPS etc APIs and displaying it inline in the message list (maybe even optionally in a sidebar widget, list my currently in-transit Amazon receipts). I think that could be really interesting, and similar concepts applied to various services/notification emails.
If there was a way to have spam protection as a service for email providers that don't already offer it (like Gmail does) that would be a great product indeed. I'd drop Mail/Sparrow and Spam Sieve if I could get it all in one package.
That's my #1 gripe, less the prioritization and/or labeling of email and message types. Creating folders has worked pretty well so far. But I'd even be willing to change my workflow for an all-in-one solution.
I get quite a lot of emails a day so I'm interested to how this will work with that but I truly see this problem. Some notifications are really important such as Amazon Shipping, Paypal Issues and certain messages, while some direct emails are more important than others.
Some ideas. Truly important emails should give me a push notification on iOS if/once you get to creating an app, I see lots of value in mobile for this solution as there are few competitors.
Secondly I'd like to be reminded if I don't get to an urgent email as sometimes I forget to read emails after I've seen the subject but maybe haven't clicked.
What's the pricing or a business model in general?
Why are you only supporting GMail? I mean, basically IMAP should do it, right? Considering the recent drop of "don't be evil", I'm seriously thinking about returning to self-hosted email and it would be a shame if such a hopefully great service wouldn't work with that..
We're limiting to GMail (including google app accounts) so we can focus on nailing the interface and auto-categorization of email. We plan to add support for other providers and possibly self-hosted in the future.
Hey HN, Glider co-founder here. We hated how existing email clients treated an email from Paul Graham the same as newsletters and twitter notifications. Gmail's priority inbox tried to fix this problem by filtering out "unimportant" emails, but messages from different contexts were still being mixed together. We think the best solution is to group emails by sender and context (people, notifications, mailing lists, et…
What's the pricing or a business model in general?
We're undecided. Possibly a free account, with a paid version to remove ads? What are your thoughts?
I'd not pay for a version that had adds, and personally would likely to pay to remove adds, but it's unclear if that'd apply to many people.
