I use Heirloom-mailx. I made a status indicator to indicate how many email messages there are, so I need not keep a dedicated window open to know if there are any messages; rather, the same window is used for the system load, memory usage, and date/time. But, I have my own email server, and don't use Mac OS X. Maybe what you have might be useful for some people who use Mac OS X, but I don't. But I think if you like it, you can write it anyways even for your own use, and then you can also publish it even if it doesn't have the options used by other users; I write software for my own use (but also publish it) and so can you, if you like to do so.
- nikkwong 7y agoI do like to do that, yeah. I am a windows/mac user and actually spend more time on windows so I would be hesitant to neglect windows. Sort of meta but I am sort of in between jobs right now and am just looking for purpose and meaning. The last product I built that was strongly received was 6 years ago and the failure to find product-market-fit since then has really eaten at me. So I want to spend my hours toiling away at things that people find useful, unlike most of my Show HN submissions. We humans are so deeply social and after a while I find there needs to be some external validation or I start to question why I'm doing what I'm doing. Anyways thank you for your insightful comment.
