Hello, In light of the uncertainty surrounding the fate of the email-service component, as well as its minimal IVI support, I think it would be helpful to clarify some basic requirements for an email component in IVI.
There's definitely a need for email in the car. Non-drivers could benefit from a traditional email app, where text is inputted via a virtual keyboard, similar to how one would use a mobile version. The ultimate solution of course would be one where drivers would use a combination of Speech-To-Text/Text-To-Speech for interaction with the email app while driving. For a PoC, IMAP and POP3 support is needed at a minimum, as well as support for adding/managing multiple accounts. Pre-set account types such as Exchange, Gmail, and Yahoo would also be nice in a production environment. Most email features such as attachments, searching through mail (voice search?), browsing folders, and conversation threads are also preferred in an IVI scenario as well. Obviously, support for push notifications and the like, would do away with the need for things like a giant sync button, though a manual sync/refresh would still be nice. We can talk more about the gritty details, but this should give a concise overview of what we're looking for in IVI. Thanks for the support!
