It'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.

#42By the way, when do you plan to release the beta?

#43No offense but unless it’s a 1st party client email clients are something that is very hard to trust. Who controls your client has access to your inbox with most services even the few that have separate IMAP/POP3 passwords like Hushmail can be compromised through it. If your client also integrates with encryption or worse takes charge of it my encryption key is also now at risk. Lastly since email today is pure HTML…

#45God bless you for working in a space—native email clients—which seems utterly neglected nowadays.

#48Looks very interesting. I personally would appreciate knowing I am entering my email into a waiting list rather than getting access. Also, why does there need to be a waiting list - to help stem the flow of analytics? Honestly curious. I really want a good, modern email client and I hope this can be it.

#49Earlier quoted context omitted.
On a desktop app, you can see what kind of request the program makes and which servers it contacts. With a webapp, you'll never know what the app does.
How so? It's quite simple to tell what a web app does in my understanding. Chrome has many good monitoring tools.
