    We've been using Honeycomb at Nylas for 6+ months at this point and love it - the product keeps getting better and better, it's fast and reliable, and it's given us new debugging c…

    For now, the encryption plugin is only available on the older version, Nylas Pro. No reason for that other than time to port and QA the plugin to the new free version, which has a …

    No new funding model, just better tech! In the new version, we don't sync and store all of your email on our servers, which dramatically drops the cost of running the service.

    It didn't make it into this release because we wanted to focus on making the base mail experience solid first, but it should be back soon!

    N1 supports connecting to all the major email providers, as well as pretty much every obscure IMAP server run by your ISP! What's pointed out in the FAQ is just that it uses a clou…

    Super sad to hear about this, as the Debian project has been hugely influential on my life. (It's the reason I went to MIT and became a software engineer.) Rest in peace, Ian.

    Not yet! Totally something that we'd love to see, though.

    I don't expect that we'll have time to put this together officially very soon. If you'd like to help though, the best way would be to figure out how to get N1 building on arch from…

    You can, but remember the sync engine doesn't provide any authentication layer by default, since people use it in so many different ways. You'll want to run it proxied behind some …

    Bundling the sync engine with the client works if you're willing to download your entire mail archive onto every device that connects to your mail. An implementation of the sync en…

    We'll consider JMAP support if it reaches widespread adoption. For now, it wouldn't add much value, and we have a lot to build!

    Yep, the only reason we didn't have one for launch is a lack of time. :) You want to help? First step is making sure `script/grunt mkrpm` works from https://github.com/nylas/N1 !

    The main codebase is in `inbox/`, with launcher scripts and tools in `bin/`. (Might not be totally obvious, because the package namespace is called `inbox/` for legacy reasons.) If…
