Great idea, some problems – Triage: Email First Aid Review

Triage is a great idea. I use it daily on my work Outlook/Exchange account, via IMAP, to quickly get rid of the useless email. But, Triage has some problems. The most annoying to me is that it fails to be able to send email about 30% of the time. Which would not be so bad if Triage managed to save my draft reply in the Drafts folder. But it fails to do THAT 100% of the time. I have had to train myself not to write long emails in Triage. So long as I can remember to use Triage only for, well, triage, quickly getting rid of read once and archive email, Triage works fine. triage is an example of an app that is really just an extension to an existing app. Trouble is, the extension app needs to implement its good idea, and enough of the rest of the basic functionality to be useful. The future for something like Triage is probably to get bought by a company with a better overall mail client - or to have the basic idea used. There are a whole slew of companies and apps working in this space, of being able to handle email more efficiently. I use Google Inbox mostly for my personal gmail, and Triage for work. If Google Inbox were usable with Outlook/Exchange, I would probably use it rather than Triage. I use several other mail clients for more in depth mail reading. Including Outlook on my PC. But Triageon my iPhone is a good adjunct.
