Frustrated with the limited support that Basecamp provided for e-mail, we took a stroll through the 37signals customer discussion forums.
We found that other customers felt the same way — they wanted to be able to forward messages they received from their clients and co-workers directly into Basecamp, instead of copying and pasting messages over and over again.
So, we wrote a quick blog post announcing our intention to produce a solution for this. It was picked up by 37signals and they posted about it on their popular product blog. The feedback was extremely encouraging.
We produced a quick prototype and put it out for everyone to use free of charge. We received a ton of great feedback, and began refining Mailmanagr and adding features here and there. It still has some growing up to do, but as it stands right now, we’ve got a huge user-base and a really clear roadmap of where things are going. Mailmanagr is available in two flavours – a free, yet somewhat limited version, and a $7 a month unlimited version.
