It's not even clear from reading Inky's FAQ what this software's purpose is. All I can guess is that you store all your email login details on Inky's servers so that you can set up a new mail client on any machine just by entering your Inky username and password.
If that's a fair appraisal of the situation, then: has Macworld gone mad? Are you seriously proposing it's a good idea to relinquish all your email login details to a bunch of complete strangers just to gain a few seconds the next time you set up your mail client?
I'm stunned.

Thanks for reviewing Inky! We're just out of the gate and are rapidly iterating and improving Inky as we get feedback from users and reviews like yours.
We're working in particular on improving:
- Inky's performance (load times, etc.).
- Inky's native OS support (as of today's upgrade we use native scrolling, for example).
We'll have a new version in a few weeks that delivers better Retina support and better OS X support for languages other than English as well.
-- The Inky Team

This is the writing of an hysteric:
Are you *seriously* proposing I "relinquish" "all" my login details to a *bunch of complete strangers*? Have you *gone mad*?
Look--this is an email aggregating service. The review pointed out that there were privacy issues. Presumably the reader can decide for himself about those, as well as about the utility of a service that's a little too much about self-promotion, which the article also noted.
If you're so worried, what are you doing with an email client at all? You should be using webmail that requires an SSL login, such as Hushmail, where your emails can be easily anonymized. And what about the *complete strangers* at your ISP's DNS resolver who can just peer into your traffic over the POP and SMTP ports?
I suggest you get a VPN to log in to Hushmail, too.
