The backstory
Yesware's tracking pixels, templates and meeting scheduler were genuinely useful additions to a mail client. Both Google and Microsoft now ship AI drafting, smart scheduling and follow-up nudges natively, and the tracking pixel itself is increasingly blocked by privacy protections. Little left to sell.
