I'm still using Sunrise to this day, is there an announcement about it being discontinued?

Apparently so: http://appadvice.com/appnn/2015/10/microsoft-announces-plans...

(Unwelcome) news to me.

so Sunrise gets sunset :)

I had to look for this too: http://blog.sunrise.am

Startups beware: If you care about your products, not just about the exit, don't let yourself get acquired by Dropbox!

Users beware: just ignore startups altogether. A hot startup is a vehicle for converting user growth into money for the founders and investors. It does not exist to create and maintain a good product. It's fine to tag along for a ride; it's not good to make yourself dependent on its continued existence.

I think you can almost stop that at the word acquired. I loved pre-acquisition FolderShare. After Microsoft bought them, FolderShare was mashed into a bunch of aborted projects that sucked.

Wasn't Sunrise renamed Outlook on iOS? I have Outlook on my iPhone and it looks the same as the screenshot in the below discontinuation announcement...

Accompli was renamed Outlook and then functionality from Sunrise was added in recently when they announced the sunset.

Sunrise is [being] integrated into Microsoft Outlook, I think.

Locking it into a Microsoft product can be seen as the same as discontinuation.

It supports the same email types that Sunrise did.

Disclaimer: MS employee, nothing to do with Outlook though.
