Opening an email with a calendar event in it downloads a file with some meta data. I think this is a bug. I opened a mail from meetup dot com and it downloaded a file multiple times.

I see the merits of open sourcing DarwinMail. It would open up the platform to develop on it from people all over the world. They would fix bugs for themselves and others and perhaps write mini-features. However, if I open source this code, I may never be able to make any profit on this tool I have spent so much time building :( How will I be able to pay my bills?
> How will I be able to pay my bills? That's why I mentioned the OSS + hosted version. It would allow to be more open while still making money on the hosted version. Those who are very concerned about privacy can self-host, and those who think self-hosting is too hard (that's many people) can pay to use your hosted version. See Ghost as a success story that works that way: https://blog.ghost.org/5/
That's quite an interesting concept! It would alleviate users concerns :)
I like it!
Ghost has done very well in recent years. I will read up on this.
How does the undo send work? Does it store the email on your server for X seconds before dispatching through gmail?
It doesn't send the email until after 0 - 30 seconds, so you have a chance to undo it :)

Related to this question: Does Darwin block remote images from loading automatically? I find this is increasingly hard to find (Geary Mail comes to mind) and it's surprising to me.
Thank you for your question :) We block any and all code scripts/styles from executing outside of emails. We don't block images though - if we did then the emails you could usually receive with images will feel plain.. won't it? If I understand you correctly?

Allowing remote images to load allows for a tracking signal to be sent from the email client. Blocking images allows the user to choose whether that signal is sent.
Nonetheless, I've added it to the list of upcoming features as I believe it's worth a shot!
Thank you so much for your feedback :)

You are asking him to do a ton of work and commit to never charging you for anything on the off chance that you might condescend to use his software. It seems like it would be easier for you to just not evaluate new mail clients.
I'm just suggesting that a service that touches email would benefit from being easier to trust. I never said he should commit to never making money or anything close to that. Like you literally invented that. In fact I suggested he look into the open source + hosted business model. Ghost seems to be doing alright with it: https://blog.ghost.org/5/ > It seems like it would be easier for you to just not evaluate new ma…
I thank you :) I love receiving new 'outside of the box' ideas that will increase DarwinMail's appeal :)

Please see above comment as Pinning already exists for Darwin Mail users! Should I add a feature spotlight for Pinning to the homepage though? I don't think it's clear that Darwin Mail supports Pinning as of now! Thank you so much for your feedback :) This kind of feedback is what makes products great!
Yes I think so! It's a major Inbox feature that people miss. You should probably focus on implementing the most missed Inbox features after launch :D
However, I'm going to merge that with DarwinMail's Trello board soon and make the whole thing public :)
I will also allow upvoting, comments and user-created feedback and suggestions!

Ohh I see. Like a Facebook Pixels tracking image. No, I don't think that's blocked. Then again, it's not blocked in most email clients, perhaps it's difficult to accomplish. Nonetheless, I've added it to the list of upcoming features as I believe it's worth a shot! Thank you so much for your feedback :)

Even more confusing is that you haven't tested it with Safari?
