Hi David Email integration is definitely a goal for TW; there are lots of interesting applications and users that aren't really accessible without it. But it'll be a while before such features are in the core. In the meantime, you might find it interesting to experiment with IFTTT:
https://ifttt.com IFTTT is a tremendously flexible tool, and amongst other things lets you trap emails in GMail and save them as files in Dropbox. That might be the start of a workflow involving the Node.js edition of TW.
