the problem is that it is very complex, and features are not implemented consistently accross clients. Especially the newer, or not standardized ones you listed. You know that there is something wrong when an entire slew of RFCs can be replaced with a few simple api calls.

Well, could you add instant messaging functionality to IMAP? Can you manage multiple inboxes with one IMAP account? Can you do server side threading with IMAP? Can you manage attachments and messages separately with IMAP? Can you upload attachments NOT using base64 using SMTP/IMAP? Can you use labels with IMAP? Can you manage multiple domains under IMAP? etc.

As for iOS client's there are exactly 3 that come to mind. Gmail, Apple Mail and Sparrow (discontinued).

We realize that this product is not for everyone - but for those who want a zero config, hassle free product.

Mailpile is for an entirely different audience.

Not sure if I completely understood your requirements, but you can add several custom domains (number depends on the plan) to your account, create mailboxes and aliases for them and can send and receive from those addresses as well.

Those are added to your account and can be accessed as individual mailboxes or via the unified inbox. They are not separate accounts with separate logins. Enterprise grade account management would be a feature to add at some point in the future.

2-factor auth won't be available at beta launch (it's a MVP, we still have to see if there's enough interest), but we'll probably add 2-factor auth using https://www.authy.com at some point.

Yes, we should definitely change that. Thanks.
