Just downloaded it and it looks very nice. One of my favorite features of Gmail is multiples inboxes which I use for a GTD-like set up with "To Do"/"To Read"/"Waiting For" etc. Any plans to add support for that?

Yes, this is definitely a planned feature!

Hi HN! In the past, I spent over 7 years working on Apple Mail, and today I am really excited to share a new email client I'm building: Mimestream, a native macOS email client for Gmail. Mimestream is written in Swift, and uses AppKit+SwiftUI for a clean, stock appearance. It's designed to be fast, lightweight, and use a minimal amount of disk space. Mimestream's advantages over using the Gmail web interface includes…

Any plan to support Outlook.com?

Also interested. Would be good to have the ability to add standard IMAP accounts as well.

This is great! Will you be supporting the different type of inboxes e.g. "Important first"?

This is fantastic, please support Google Advanced Protection as I cannot add my account as a result of it being enabled on my account. "Advanced Protection prevented your Google Account from signing in. This security feature stops most non-Google apps and services from accessing your data to keep your account protected."

> To prevent unauthorized access, Advanced Protection only allows Google apps and verified third-party apps to access your Google Account data, and only with your permission. - https://landing.google.com/advancedprotection/

I didn't realise until now that third-party apps could work with Advanced Protection.

The simplicity reminds me of Sparrow for Mac [1]. One of the best email apps ever made! [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparrow_(email_client)

When I was still on Gmail in 2012 or so (?) I really really loved that app! Actually, I’d easily pay $25 or even more for a similar app, for Fastmail.

this. I will pay $50 for such an App for Fastmail (or really, just IMAP speaking please)

No shade being thrown as I recognize this is a beta, but I seem to be crashing with regularity. I submitted reports, but was wondering if I'm alone.

Mind sending the crash reports to bugs@mimestream.com? If you aren't sure where they are, just run /Applications/Mimestream.app/Contents/Resources/collectDiagnostics.sh in Terminal and that should zip them up into a file on your Desktop. Thanks!
