I don't get it personally. What problem does it solve? How is it better than gmail? Why do I need it?

Listing "It extracts phone numbers" as a feature seemed to be scraping the barrel a bit to me. Gmail extracts loads of things. Heck it even recognizes parcel tracking numbers and provides a link to track them afaik.

Am I right in thinking it plugs into outlook express? eugh eugh and eugh.

I forgot to say desktop email is pretty much dead or soon will be. Who uses a desktop email client these days?

you will need to come out of silicon valley to get that answer - way more people (at least in the enterprise) use desktop email than web email ...
