A similarly named technology offered by many email clients is S/MIME. Does it support end to end encryption with PGP or smime?

what do you use on linux?
A mix of mutt for triage and reluctantly, the gmail web interface. I think I have tried every real client available and been disappointed in many different ways?
same. Hoping there was some obscure winner.

This looks great!! It's beautiful and lightening fast. I would definitely pay for this. Except for one thing. It doesn't seem to support priority inbox, which is critical to my workflow. My currently gmail inbox looks like this: in:inbox is:important is:unread in:inbox -l:important -is:updates -is:promotions -is:social in:inbox -l:important (is:updates OR is:social) in:inbox -l:important is:promotions in:inbox is:imp…
Great feedback – I've gotten this request a lot today. It's been something I've always planned on doing, but based on the popularity of this request, this is a lot higher up on the list now.
I'm pretty hungry to switch from Spark and their intermediate servers, and I bet I'm not the only one. At work I use full GSuite integration, so am pretty much stuck with Wavebox or another Electron aggregator. But for personal use this hits exactly the right spot for me.
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)
Great work! I look forward to using this. Not sure if this has been mentioned in the comments yet (I came across this post 100+ comments later), but one thing I miss terribly after leaving AirMail was the ability to write markdown in email. I absolutely loved the split-pane window when writing an email, and see it update in real-time as I write my markdown'ed email. I am on the web-client for Gmail for now, and altho…
Why did you stop using Airmail?

We do still have to trust you though right njhaveri? If I understand it correctly this is a closed source app with unlimited access to GMail. How can users be sure that it doesn't do stuff that you say it doesn't or that you are who you say you are, considering "Mimestream LLC" only has an email address and your HN profile has only ever posted about this one app? Hope that's not too aggressive :) legitimately curious…
This is a very fair concern, and I sympathize with it a lot. I have thought about this a fair bit, and thought about eventually turning this into a "source-available" model (but not yet, I'd at least like to be fully launched on both App Stores first and have some user-base). There are pros and cons to that. At the end of the day, if you install an app from the App Store, you place trust in the developer. App Store R…
I love the simplicity; form follows function. Is there a way to get rid of the badge counter on the dock icon? I somewhat feel anxious/FOMO when the counter is there.
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…

This is a great point: "There are no intermediary servers with access to your account or copies of your messages." A number of popular email clients use intermediary servers and that's a complete deal breaker for me. I'd argue that should be a deal breaker for almost anyone. I'm not a security expert, but as far as I can tell, for most people the single biggest security vulnerability is an attacker gaining access to…
One can blame it on Google OAuth UI or on Mimestream UI, but its not clear to me whether these privileges are granted to the locally installed application and can only be used by it
OR
whether these privileges are Granted to "Mimestream" the Google OAuth App account which can then be used to do those actions outlined above by some service associated with "Mimestream" Google App.
Needless to say, i chickened out from using my main google account with it and instead will test drive it with a toy account
