Show HN: A new way to manage your inbox

I have a little trouble understanding whether you are actually a web-based pop/imap client or whether I would get a @lightermail.com address. (I assume the former, as it says " Gmail Support with more to come..." but I think you should explain that better)

I struggled too... I had concluded that this was a Chrome add-in to theme Gmail and add some extra analysis based on some off-Gmail server crunching some of the data from the email.

But then I saw the post (below/above) which details the stack that they're using, and I think my assumption is probably wrong.

I do think that you keep your own email address though.

Yeah, we're a web based service. We do have some browser extensions in the pipeline though to reduce the need to visit the website.

Looks like we need to work on the messaging. We're not an email client. We're a tool you use with your email client to help control the flow of email.

Definitely. I wasn't at all interested until I came to the comments to figure out what it was. I'm still not entirely sure what it does or how it works (both important) but I'm no longer dismissing out of hand.

Ok but how so? I see screenshots which seem to come from a web page.

I think you need to explain that before I would be willing (would I be using gmail) to register with your service.

Yeah, as I mentioned above we're a web based service. Set your preferences through the site then just use your regular client as per usual and reap the benefits.

Still don't quite get it. You will manipulate my inbox and I can control the way you do it through the web interface?

Pretty much, yes.
