We love streak!

sjsjsjon Email is not broken: It’s a framework, not an application

Context.IO provides API access to core resources in IMAP-enabled mailboxes such as messages, contacts, threads and attachments, and provides webhooks to manage all of these. Apps can be notified of specific content as it arrives, instead of constantly polling a mailbox for matching content. Makes development of apps that look for and push important messages much much easier. http://context.io/docs/2.0/accounts/webhooks

Full disclosure, I do Community Management/Developer Relations for Context.IO.

sjsjsjon Ask HN: Pet lovers review my startup

Brilliant! I've been a beta tester for a while, and my first "broadcast" request on Facebook got me several leads! People really DO want to help out, and putting out a general request is such an easy way to get people almost asking YOU if they can care for your pet! Go Spotwag. Can't wait to see where this'll go!

Have you thought of using Context.IO to eliminate the need for end users to CC My Inbox Assistant at all? IMAP enabled mailboxes can have My Inbox Assistant run in the background without any need for CCIng/BCCing. Take a look at our docs at http://context.io/docs/2.0/, specifically the messages calls: http://context.io/docs/2.0/accounts/messages

sjsjsjon Mailgun (YC W11) Raises $1.1 Million For Its "Twilio For Email"

Hey guys, it's Sarah-Jane, Community Manager at Context.IO. Yup, you got it. We don't host dedicated mailboxes that your application can receive and send emails from, but since we make the contents of any IMAP account available to your app, whatever is received in that account is like your app receiving it. For the sending part, we're leaving that to Mailgun and other services that focus on this.
