On the one hand, the announcement is correct that "email is here to stay" and it's exciting to see innovation on top of an ancient protocol that was never intended for the abuse it receives today (IMAP).
On the other hand, the announcement is correct that "email is here to stay" and because my entire life runs out of my inbox, I am almost certain to never grant an arbitrary third party like Inbox access to my mail. How does Inbox make money? And Inbox fully intends to store my mail; why should I trust them?
On the other other hand, I have been a long-time happy customer of Fastmail.fm and I am both amused and disappointed to see that Inbox does not support an arbitrary IMAP connection (e.g. to support Fastmail).
