What 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.
I've spent the last two years building a new email client

#13Looks 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?
Hello! It has been full-time for the last 2 years!

Because of Privacy concerns! The thinking is that few people would enter their email and email password on a 3rd-party website, having it as a downloadable software ensures the privacy of users

#15This 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.)

#18This looks amazing, I can't wait to try it out. My main problem with Thunderbird is that it doesn't have a conversation-based UI, but this looks like it does. Good stuff! (By the way, typo: "accessable" should be "accessible")
