On the Mac App Store, there isn't a practical way to charge for updates. You could release entirely new apps, but then upgrading is a pain for users, and you lose your ranking and reviews -- and it's difficult to charge an upgrade

Wow, I had no idea about this one! Thanks so much for this tip!

After the end of legacy G Suite was announced, I tried using iCloud+ to forward my personal domain to Gmail. However, because iCloud does not seem to support ARC for forwarding, Gmail was sending too much to Spam. I tried many other mainstr

Agreed, I think they'll just never increase the free storage again. Eventually, people will get tired of quarterly inbox cleanups and just pay for the extra storage, which is a win-win for them and avoids a serious PR crisis.

If you really want to host your own server for incoming mail, SES would probably be fine for SMTP and very cheap. With things set up correctly (SPF, DKIM), my personal experience with deliverability has been problem-free. However, I've

I think there may be some confusion here. Reading the original tweets from @featherless, I don't see any intent to actually change the end-user design. For example: > This evolution of how we approach design for Apple platforms has

This is surprisingly sophisticated and loaded with features for a 1.0, congratulations on the release! I totally know what it's like to work on a productivity app for a long time before it feels like it meets the minimum bar for releas

Neat idea! Do you plan to notarize the binary?

by njhaveri 5y ago
From personal experience, notarization hasn't really caused any friction in my dev process for Mimestream. The upload + server response usually only takes about a minute. Yeah, it's another thing to learn, but the process is prett

Haha, having worked on email clients, this gave me a good laugh. People use them in all sorts of different ways – part of what makes them tricky to build. Very clever customization though!

I get the general point of the article, but if I just lost the source code to the app I've worked on for years… It would take me a very, very long time to re-write everything. Sometimes, getting relatively straightforward code to actua

Finally! Hopefully it will be based on the prefers-color-scheme media feature, instead of it being a setting to toggle…

I also really dislike that WWDC videos are now the de-facto documentation. It must be a lot of work to put them together – I wish they'd just write a doc instead. Would be way faster to read, search, etc. and could probably go into muc

As a developer of a native Mac email client, I sincerely hope that this is true. At least in the Apple ecosystem, there are new technologies like SwiftUI and Mac Catalyst that should make this easier, particularly for the army of iOS develo

I previously read about what happened to you guys Re: Sidecar (my sympathies), so congrats on making this pivot to adding Windows support! This should be a huge market! I'm curious – did you have to change the hardware dongle much, or

I looked into it and it seems by invite only. I get it.

I've received an overwhelming amount of feedback asking for this, and I plan to add this functionality.

Would love to, but need Gmail API support. Please consider Starring (but don't comment +1): https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/109952618

Tokens are granted to the app running on your Mac, not a service. There's definitely no Mimestream-run service component with access tokens to your account. One tip - on the Google OAuth sign-in page, you can inspect the URL's que

Right now, it's WYSIWYG HTML composing only. Got a ton of requests for plain text (and markdown) composing support, and I definitely plan on adding it, though it might take a few months at this point.

Thanks! You can disable this in System Preferences > Notifications > Mimestream > Badge app icon

#1 - oops, I filed a bug to fix this up. Thanks for pointing it out. #2 is something I'm hearing more about... I'll plan on offering this in the future.

This is an HTTPS GET of https://mimestream.com/appcast.xml in order to check for the availability of beta software updates, using the Sparkle framework that is popular amongst Mac apps.

Thanks! I have been hearing the plugin feedback a lot lately, and I will be thinking about making a plugin API in the future.

This is a very fair concern, and I sympathize with it a lot. I have thought about this a fair bit, and thought about eventually turning this into a "source-available" model (but not yet, I'd at least like to be fully launched

This is something I asked about a few years ago when it was first introduced, and the vague answer I got is that the warning exists because the Gmail API is not as optimized as IMAP for some common email client tasks. (Indeed, for better pe

I am definitely interested in eventually supporting IMAP, JMAP, and Outlook in the long term. In the short term, the focus will be on making the Gmail support solid.

Search is a merge of server-side results and a very basic local search that right now only looks at From and Subject. If you're offline, you'll get the local search results. When you're offline, you can view messages. However
