Is there a point in making yet another unified email inbox in 2023?

Question

Thinking about making a unified inbox. Superhuman is amazing, but works with only one email + ux is way too basic (I understand that thats probably the purpose). What would you like to see in a unified inbox? And should I dare to make yet another one?

@singhanurag the top 3 in my mind:

- allow me quickly assign co-works to work on an email thread (the biggest pain point for email use in workplaces, this is also why sometime I prefer Slack than email, and why I used front) 
- better thread and classification management, maybe with GPT, it can be smarter and easier. 
- allow me take away all my data easily.  I mean backup, or take my personal data away.

@mave99a Upvoted. All the best. Which meaningful benefits would you use it for? What Top 3 features you would expect?

@singhanurag Good enough means it has meaningful benefits to make me switch.

I used to like a email service "front" it's for team email communication, but it's unique.

BTW: my App Aistro, launched today, now is #2 on PH homepage, would like to give it a try and upvote for us?

Aistro is an astrology app but with AI,  astrology is a very crowded space, but I believe we build something better and good enough for user to try.

Creating a unified inbox with robust features could greatly improve email management. While Superhuman is sleek and efficient, it only supports one email account and offers limited customization. A powerful unified inbox should handle multiple accounts seamlessly, use smart categorization to sort messages, and offer customization options for layout and themes. Integrating PO Box support for digital mail scans and adding task management features would elevate the user experience, making it a productivity powerhouse rather than just another email app.
