See, the problem is you made an app for it. why?

why would you want to lock yourself inside an app store anyway

You can’t use the iOS Mail app, there’s no POP/IMAP support. You have to use their proprietary app.

Maybe true that a lot of people turn off banners and sounds, but even a badge to show you have x unread messages needs the notifications. Else u have to open the app to check ..

Yes. I do not want apps to be proactive. If I need to check mail, I will do it. If I need to check it regularly, I'll set up a calendar event (OK, once in a while I need notifications), but these should be notifications I personally configure.
