Well, I am curious. Seems so hard to get an email client right. I would not mind paying (GPG integration is a must).
If you don't go the mutt/alpine route, there aren't much options. Basically Thunderbird and Evolution. Never really got Clawsemail and iscribe to work with my IMAP server settings.
To make things worse, people do understand email less and less. Often, all ports except 80 and 443 are blocked and you can't even use IMAP/SMTP. And if you complain they tell you "What are you talking about? Gmail works...."
- muszc-master 8y agoDuring development of this client, I fully understand why there aren't more email clients out there. GPG is coming!
- jk2323 8y agoAlso, Gmails search function is a blast. Much worse in Thunderbird, annoying in Evolution.
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoI recently switched from Thunderbird to Evolution and I have to say the search in the latter is bordering on completely useless...
- billfruit 8y agoGmail searching isn't really that great, it doesn't do stemming while searching, offline clients should be able to do better than that.
- jk2323 8y agoActually, there is another feature from Evolution you may want to offer for Gmail accounts. Evolution somehow stores a cookie or can log in via webbrowser or something like that. Evolution will never get you logged out of your Gmail account (yes, I have one that I use for some things). I travel a lot and Thunderbird will always get blocked by Gmail (Please log-in via Webbrowser to confirm your identity).
- jrochkind1 8y agoI think GPG might be a killer feature. Well, for some people, I'm not totally sure how many people care. I care... but the convenience of a webmail client accessible on any device is just so great. But there's no good way to really have secure end-to-end encryption in a webmail client. That's about the only thing that would make me seriously consider a desktop client. Really, I'm not sure what the audience size is for email you can't see on your phone though.
