An open-source version of the backend code would be pretty awesome, though. It was a smart idea even if it wasn't well-suited to the use it was put to. Wouldn't it be neat if you could have extra contextual info added to your e-mails without having to install anything on your phone or mail client? It could be made modular so whatever services you use could provide plugins you could add/remove at will -- CRM, lead tracking, sender analytics (this person e-mails you 3X a week?), Amazon links for products, social network profiles, etc. If you host it yourself, you don't have the privacy issues of (another) 3rd-party having access to your mail.

Totally agree. Instead of just erasing the source code, they could release it as open source. I for once would love to play with it.
I hear you dan. Let me see what I can do.
