#2It's unfortunate that this wasn't build with a cross-platform core, but native, first class UIs for each respective platform.
Edit: I realized this was worded very badly. I’m saying I wish this was written with a cross platform core, and native, platform specific UIs for each respective platform. For example, MS Office is written this way.

#3Looks great! I'm always curious what it means when people say they've worked x years on something. Was this a full time project @ 40/h a week every week, or more of a few hours on the weekends, or maybe something in the middle?

I would've said the same thing with joy!
From the title I was immediately hoping that this was not yet another bloated electron thing.

#6This looks very impressive. I'm currently looking for a new email app but my biggest concern with email applications is their longevity, do you have any plans for funding this? (I'm not so concerned what the model is, just that there is one.)

#7> Total privacy - we do not have access to your email account, Ivelope only sends your email data and password between your computer and your email server.
I wish this was the default assumption these days.

#8What is the reason to build it as a native software instead of a webapp? Seems like a lot of email clients are now webapps and I can see the arguments why.

Native UIs are how you get fast and responsive applications that don't chew up memory and CPU.
