Nope, most is Chromium overhead and a bug that the Chromium team are working on. (300mb is maximum, when it's just running and doesn't run into any of the bugs it consumes around 170mb on my computer) I expect Chromium to use less

The software runs completely on your desktop - your email & password is only sent between your computer and your email server. There are quite a few security measures in place that prevents HTML vulnerabilities, both built-in into Elect

I'm sorry if it came across as advertising, let me clarify: you NEVER have to invite others to get access, however if you do, you have the chance to get access sooner - I think this is fair. I definitely understand your concern of not

You are right in this respect, the reason for limiting access right now is that I don't want hundreds of people to experience and report the same bug, if I let a few users at a time try it, I can fix the bugs they report so the users i

Currently it is not a standard format so right now there is no easy import/export - however this is a feature that is coming.

Most of this comes from overhead in Chromium, which currently (the version used by Ivelope) suffers from a few bugs which increases memory usage. I think this will drastically go down as time progresses and new updates of Chromium becomes a

I think the largest inbox ever tried in Ivelope so far is around 10GB and from what I heard from that user, there were no major problems - but I haven't made any measurements. A few people have requested mbox import and it is on the to

The reason for having a waiting list is so that I can release it to a few people at a time. I don't want to release it to everyone at once, because if there is a large or annoying bug I haven't found. If I release it to a few peop

Thank you! Yes I was expecting some comments about Electron, however I don't think it is really deserved. It is possible to build Electron apps that doesn't use >1gb of RAM, and this is what I've also been trying to do, wh
