Mailbox eyes of letters

Last year, Dropbox developers rolled out the MailBox App to Eppstor. Wave to yourself a convenient and pleasant email client for mobile devices from Apple. Here you can see his review at the time of release.

Now the client has undergone non-sick changes, received a very minimal design (even cleaner than the standard Mail App), see the screenshot to the right. In addition, the client allows you to attach files from your dropbox account to attachments. But this is not about this topic.

Not so long ago, the challenge arose to impose a letter, which will also be adequately displayed as MailBox, and in other mail clients. Dropbox is currently beta testing the desktop version of the mailer, so I quickly got an invite and got down to business.

Of course, I plowed 100,500 tests, and that's what I came up with.

Mobile application (iPhone / iPod, iPad, Android)

- Does not understand media_queries
- Does not support background images
- Does not understand inline styles like padding-left: 20px; but understand padding: 20px; and adequately perceives the cellpadding attribute for tables.
- The letter has a 20-pixel indent from the edges of the screen of the device ( screen ), in contrast to the Android Mail App (zero indent), for example. In iOS Gmail App, this indent is 10px.

Summarizing, we can say that we have received the iOS Gmail App, which until the heap does not support background images.

Desktop Application (OSX only)

- Currently distributed by invites
- Extremely minimalist design with a bunch of roundness
- On my 13 inch MacBook, the letter viewing area takes up a whole half of the screen, and as a result, a lot of mailings come with horizontal scrolling. I do not have the size of areas yet.
- Does not understand media_queries
- Does not support background images
- Does not understand inline styles like padding-left: 20px; but understand padding: 20px; and adequately perceives the cellpadding attribute for tables.
- UPD: Cellspacing attribute for tables is not working (I will update the topic when new information is received)

In terms of layout, the client is worse than the old Outlook, but at least there are hacks under Outlook. Under the mailbox, as far as I can tell they are not.

No fucking news

... you will say and you will be right. But it entails interesting moments. If the application is released under Windows, you can make a small coup and set the tone for the future of email marketing. I, of course, idealize, even very idealize, but nevertheless let's judge like this:
- On Windows, desktop mail clients are frankly disgusting. Thunderbird is convenient, no doubt. But it is not pleasant to use it. The design is sad. Other clients are worse than thunderbird
- If in the magic parallel universe it happens that one-size mailers will begin to give the same restrictions as Mailbox, then this will cause the letters to become less like whores from the Pattaya boulevards. And I would even agree with this state of affairs.
- Now the majority of online stores are trying to outdo each other in the one who has a brightly dressed slut, completely scoring for the content, and this is the main task of the letters. And the recipient will buy your product not because of the whistles and fakes in the letter, but for a high-quality photo of the goods and the text that he will read. Everything! Do not need anything else.

About invites

If suddenly there is a wave of questions regarding invites, let's not litter the comments with your mailboxes. If someone is willing to give an invite, write a comment "There are three invites." Do you want to invite? Write about this in a personal comment author. You have run out of invites, write the answer to your comment "Invites are no more."
