Hi I know nothing about coding whatsoever. Im curious why would someone set up a something like this? You would have to host your own mail server correct? Is it to have control over your data? Is it just "simpler" and faster than gmail?
- djbusby 4y agoCould connect this client to any mail server.
- dsr_ 4y agoThis is a mail client, like Outlook or Thunderbird or Gmail. It has a web interface, like Gmail, but is not tied to any particular mail server, which makes it more like Thunderbird. It is occasionally convenient: anywhere you can sit down at a web browser, you can read your mail. I think that it's not really featureful enough to be the primary mail client for most HN readers.
- louis-lau 4y agoYou can use it with any email server, doesn't have to be hosted by yourself. It's not better than the Gmail web client or anything, but it may be better than a shitty corporate webmail, or just better than no webmail at all :)
