I worked on an email application for a year that was on top of imap. It was slow as hell. How does switchboard get around that?
On another note, I think context.io provides a decent paid solution. How is this project different?

Switchboard is fairly different from context.io. Switchboard is open-source -- being able to keep in control of services accessing emails on your users' behalf is great. Also, Switchboard is intended for processing emails as they arrive using worker processes, as opposed to context.io which appears to be primarily a proxy.
