#122I'll add in a vote for IMAP support. I am anti-Google in almost all regards. Currently I use FastMail as my email provider, and Mail.app as my client. I pay for FastMail, and similarly I would very gladly pay for a good cross-platform mail client. I'd sign up for a yearly subscription, even! I do recognize that IMAP is not as rich a data source as GMails API, but I'd encourage you to not feel limited by that. I don't…
> I don't mind using hosted email, as long as the revenue source is coming from my wallet, rather than ads.
Serious question: Do premium Gmail accounts (using your own domain) serve ads and mine your data?

"We only share this information as necessary to provide the service" That statement would be reassuring... but for the fact it fails to accord with your privacy policy, clause 1.

#124Is this a young person thing where they have never seen "create rule" in outlook?

#125From the article: > Inbox Zero might be impractical every day, but Inbox Organized happens without breaking a sweat. My experience is the absolute opposite. Organising mails is a strange game, and the only winning move is not to play. I get the information out of the emails as soon as I can, and put it into a system that is actually manageable. GTD had it right from the start. Thank you David Allen. You want harsh fe…
I couldn't agree less. I've tried so many task and todo systems and ultimately have come to the conclusion that the most effective todo list I've ever had is my email inbox. I pick one up and then fail to fully embrace it because forming new habits can be hard. Email on the other hand, is impossible to avoid, I have to be in it every day. I've yearned for a better way to manage it and I think this product addresses that.
Unfortunately I won't be a customer though because I hate Google and am a happy Fastmail user.

There is mailspring which I have been using for some time - it has a nice modern interface which imho is much better than thunderbird as well as most of the web interfaces of self hosted email. Based on electron though, so ymmv. https://getmailspring.com/
Yep - this is what I've been using. Even Nylas Mail, which came before it

#127I did not find much about privacy and security on the website.
Check out our security doc [1], Privacy Policy [2], and Terms of Service [3] for this information.

Good chatter I find here of Mailspring--I use it as well. What do y'all think of SparkMail? It's not been brought up here yet. I'm quite fond of it on my mobile device. This came to mind as I looked over Shortwave
Re: Show HN: Shortwave: Enjoy Your Inbox
#130Feedback: Email is just fine . It is mature and should just be left alone. It is not something that should be reinvented. The next thing should not be email at all . It should be something fundamentally different, not another iteration of email. Seeing some downvote criticism on this comment, let me clarify. I understand the value in working on an established set of federated protocols. Everyone has an email address…
Here are a few fundamentally different async protocols in development which could challenge SMTP:
DIME - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Mail_Alliance
Math Mesh - https://mathmesh.com
TMTP - https://mnmnotmail.org (my work)
