I think you mean "You can't afford to stop using mail"?
I think he means "You can't afford to stop using email " I'm from the UK and I've never heard anybody say mail when they meant email.
It was a typo before, used to say "use" instead of "using".

It's not impossible. It's just bloody difficult.
I don't know what your pedigree is in the anti-spam world (personally I wrote large chunks of SpamAssassin, implemented Symantec's Cloud anti-spam engine from scratch, wrote the Haraka SMTP server, and am one of the authors of RFC 6471), but this is called a FUSSP for a reason. http://www.rhyolite.com/anti-spam/you-might-be.html In short, build a better client, sure, but don't have delusions that you can make spam a…
SpamAssassin is a great tool, nice work.
I understand your point. I'm not convinced that spam with its dangers as we know today can be gone with any solution. I think it needs a long process to reach a point where sending out spam will cost more than profits coming out from it. I'm probably naive and too ambitious but I am going that path.
I don't want to belittle anyones work on fighting spam. It's very complicated and I do know the responsibility of the job and how all of us rely on it.
To be clear on our launch, it will start out as a mail hosting with a nice client having some cool features. All this questionable stuff on spam, parsing receipts, etc. is coming in the future if we're lucky enough to have your support to be around that long.
Re: You Can't Afford To Stop Using Mail
#53Things I like: - Delivery tracking. This is the single most exciting feature that I found in your screenshots (welovemail.com). Mass mailing solutions and Transactional email services have had this feature for ages, and it's about time regular email got it, too. No more need to parse the incoherent ramblings of MAILER-DAEMON, hooray! - Three-column view. (Or was it four-column?) I'm not particularly fond of 16:9 wide…
Thank you for such a comment!
To your not sure points:
- Voting: We understand that it's just what a future could be. We are not working on this right now and won't till we're in a position it might get useful. It will start out as a mail hosting with a nice client having some cool features. This is just how we'd like to use mail in the future if we're lucky enough to have your support to be around that long.
- Multiple accounts: You have a username/password to your account that has access to all your mailboxes. Mailboxes themselves don't have any username/password combo. Owner of a domain can give you an access to a mailbox. We're using SMS to verify you and is used again in case of a lost password. To have a better control over access on a different devices it's a nice idea to disable some mailboxes from mobile devices. We'll look into it. Messages will be encrypted and communicate with your devices only over HTTPS. We're taking security very seriously and we're enhancing all of this all the time even for the beta to be absolutely safe.
- Social media: Honestly, we don't have any plans to make this optional to be displayed.
- Metadata: Don't worry, I myself need those basic information at hand. The app as it's getting developed changes a bit from design screenshots but not so much it makes it overwhelming. Still looks simple.
- Compose: It'll be possible to compose fullscreen and/or in a new tab.
- Service: It's a mail hosting, you need to own a domain to be able to use our service. At the moment you need to also use only our client solution, beta will be browser-based web app and mobile and desktop apps are coming next. In the future we have plans to create an API to connect our hosting into more clients.
