Ask HN: Alternative CRM to Streak for Non-Gmail

2 points by graffitici 11y ago

I am a big fan of Streak, and if I were to use Gmail, I think I'd definitely use it. Yet, I really dislike using Gmail, and instead am paying for my own IMAP/SMTP host. I am looking for a simple CRM solution that would be as effective as Streak (ideally, also in terms of its price point..). Any suggestions?

founder of Streak here - totally understand if you're not a fan of Gmail. What email client are you using? Out of curiosity, have you tried http://inbox.google.com http://inbox.google.com?

  I'm using Fastmail, via PostBox. I actually e-mailed them to ask whether they could "emulate" the Gmail interface, so that Gmail apps could be used with their web app. They kindly elevated the request to their dev team, but then responded that more than just the interface would need to be changed (URLs, parameters, etc...). I wish there was a standard way for webmail clients to support plugins, but I realize that's asking for too much.. And to clarify, my issue with Gmail is one of privacy...
