I've never been completely satisfied with Thunderbird and have tried to switch multiple times, reverting to web clients every time. Now I am using Nylas N1 built on electron(imagine that!) and it looks very promising. Also, arrogance of tech conservatives in every Mozilla or web tech thread on HN is becoming unbearable.

Thanks for the kind works about N1! (I work at Nylas.) Feel free to send us any feedback if you have ideas for how to improve the app. :)

  N1 is a game changer for desktop clients and I'd love to contribute. What is the best place to send ideas concerning general product strategy? Tech feedbacks goes to github, obviously.

Do the web clients you've tried or N1 speak LDAP and support S/MIME with a local smart card reader?

  N1 is still in the early stages of development. It's missing email aliases, for example. LDAP + S/MIME are definitely not implemented yet. That said, the platform seems to have potential. I don't see any reason why these couldn't be implemented as plugins.

    Email aliases are coming next week. Some folks are working on a GPG & S/MIME plugin. Stuff is moving really fast. (I work at Nylas.)

>> tech conservative << What the heck is that?

  Well, in this context those who are angry and are actively opposing proliferation of new web tech. Web tech may include new front-end JS frameworks, electron apps built with HTML/CSS for desktop, node itself, es2015 features.
