I didn't watch all the video, but I believe it doesn't offer a 'backwards' compatibility email function (i.e. it's isolated from email - so you can't email in, or out). Is that right? The video did show a spam folder (or similar) in the top left of the UI, so I presume they're assuming spam will enter the system at some point.
