#33Why "missing" though? On Windows 10, Mail is quite nice. On OSX there's Airmail. On Linux there's bupkis, but that's really not what Linux is for.
For me, the main dealbreaker of Windows 10 Mail is lack support for email aliases. One can forward multiple accounts to a single gmail account and select the "From" address when composing messages.

Wait, when did this happen?

#35Looks like the Google API client ID and client secret are stored in clear text shipped with the released app: WMail.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/shared/credentials.js , and this seems to be used in authentication with Google: https://github.com/Thomas101/wmail/blob/master/src/main/Auth...
I think "secret" is a misnomer here.
The process results in a client ID and, in some cases, a client secret, which you embed in the source code of your application. (In this context, the client secret is obviously not treated as a secret.)

#37Looks great. But it makes me really wonder why somebody is doing Google's job.

The same could then be said of any mobile app used to browse HN or Reddit I guess.

#38I use a mutt setup like this http://stevelosh.com/blog/2012/10/the-homely-mutt/ Besides the efficiency of the CLI, I like having a local copy of my mail.
I use mbsync and alpine but obviously since alpine is just an interface to the local maildir I can hop between different mail clients without anything breaking.

#39So it's just the website in a chromium wrapper? So I'd be downloading ~50mb for something that I already have in Chrome? I'm trying to find a feature it has that I can't get through Chrome...
Perhaps a little more privacy? You can browse the web without being logged into Google.
I know you can have separate Chrome users, but this may separate concerns slightly more. Not sure.

From what I am reading it is being maintained. Is this the case or am I incorrect?
