I was in the same question asking boat as you after checking everything out and the only conclusion I can come to is that this app may have been created with people who don't want to attach everything to Google's Services.
Possibly. At the same time, Mailbox supports iCloud and gMail. They say SlideMail is different in that it is not for power users. So non-power-users that have their own email server or don't use gMail/iCloud?
Maybe people that don't want Dropbox to have access to your email, which is fair. In which case, push privacy as a differentiator. But that isn't nearly as sexy or mass-market as personalization; I think many average users have gotten used to their online information being own by someone else.
