N1 1.5.0 was the last version that supported Exchange, and that was via the Nylas APIs. We never did ship Exchange support on Nylas Mail 2.0.x, but there's no reason someone can't add it now that we've dumped all the code.

This is correct - it wasn't just that it was too expensive to maintain the client; it split our focus between the client and the API. So we decided to focus on the API since we have a larger business there and we wanted folks who work

Yeah, the facade. Plus a lot of stuff on top of that: webhooks, open/reply/link tracking, metrics, other stuff. https://www.nylas.com/customers/ lists some of our API customers; maybe that'll help!

No, no, Mailspring and the Nylas Mail Lives forks are totally divorced from our infra.

This is correct. The APIs have extended to include calendar and contacts in addition to the original email API, and that's where we've chosen to focus going forward.

Why ask for gender but not race/ethnicity?

While we at Nylas did build our APIs to help with IMAP troubles, we also handle Gmail (via IMAP) and Exchange as well. We'd be happy to add JMAP support to our APIs if it takes off since we're committed to 100% coverage of email

If Forerunner didn't participate in this, then Soylent doesn't have a chance. I'd trust Forerunner over GV (or anyone) on a new consumer brand - and that's what Soylent is, going up against everything from Hint water to

I'm surprised to not see any discussion of unionization or guilds in this. Even some PBC or B corp stuff could also help.

* No plan for a one-off purchase option at this time. * Nylas Pro (formerly N1) stores messages on the server; the new Nylas Mail downloads directly to the client.

Heya, I'm the PM for Nylas. We have a Mac mail client called Nylas Mail that's totally free that we launched on HN a couple of months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13417616 Built on Electron and the c

Yeah, but I can't take my data from Epic and move it all into Cerner via HL7, no matter what. What we need are government standards for data at rest, similar to DICOM, for other data - and tied to Medicare reimbursement. Literally som

If this is generalizable, and it looks like it is, it would be pretty smart to spin this out as a new company, make Airbnb the company's first customer, and go after Oracle's financial products. (Disclosure: I used to work at Orac

Skyliner is an option if you're doing real production stuff.

Opportunistic, sure. But I did not know about the API interoperability. Given the prices, makes sense to store stuff in both places in case one goes down.

You announce this on February 28 without TBS, TNT, or truTV? I get that Turner had you, but come on. Wait until April to announce if you're not gonna have them. Or even until June, when the NBA conference finals are over.

It would probably behoove someone to sell these laptops, iPads, and iPhones to journalists, lawyers, and other folks with these configurations. It's a lot easier to give them a pre-configured locked down device that they can't me

I've heard about NASA's Flight Software teams being very strict on 9-5 work hours, with lots of code review and tests. I was under the impression this wasn't as strict with the competition from SpaceX and Blue Origin now tha

Thanks! Thankfully we have both the Nylas Pro offering and the Nylas Cloud APIs as revenue streams. (Seriously, if you're integrating with email, check out the Nylas Cloud APIs: https://nylas.com/cloud ) (I work at Ny

We really hope that Nylas Mail will be your cross-platform email app then. Being build on Electron allows us to support all three major platforms and we are 100% committed to it. Nylas Pro (formerly N1) already supports all three and Nyla

Good call - we updated the blog post with a link to https://nylas.com at the beginning. (Oh, Medium, you can be so fickle.) (I work at Nylas.)

Nylas Basic is free forever. We hope you'll like it so much that you'll upgrade to Pro. Essentially, we started as a free beta at the very beginning, launched with free trial last year, and now have switched to freemium (with a f

Free trial versus freemium. If you have a larger base (free tier), even if a small percentage upgrade to paid, then you may make more money. It's what Dropbox and Slack do. (I work at Nylas.)

In case you plan on updating these, I would love love love an overlay to add in state lines. For example, it appears that it would be technically possible to run a train from my hometown of Carbondale, IL to Saint Louis (blows my mind that

If you want to be super successful, you build it on Salesforce. Full stop. Two - two! - different vertical CRMs (ServiceMax and Veeva) have BILLION dollar valuations built entirely on the SFDC stack. It'll answer all technical question
