I always feel like I'm the minority, when all I want from an email client is simple inbox, without any crap associated with it, and fast search.
Also plain text emails!
You should check out Mailmate: https://freron.com It's a very simple but powerful e-mail client. I really like the bare-bone design and simplicity of it.
^ This times a million
I deeply want to break away from N1/Nylas but I rely too heavily on offline Send Later.
This is beautiful though.
Have you tried Spark? I've been using for a couple of months and it's great :)
Edit: forgot the question mark.
I use Spark on my phone, but I haven't tried it on Mac. I know they were teasing the release for quite a while though.
But I just checked, and it doesn't look like it supports Send Later. It looks nice though, I'm a big fan of their iOS app
This is what I use because I need an iOS app in addition to a desktop app.
Why no one creates native mac apps anymore? I hate those electron kinda apps everywhere.
Agreed. I don't use Chrome on my MacBook Pro as it rinses the battery. Running multiple instances of it at once with all these Electron apps (Slack, Spotify, Astro, Atom...) is so much worse.
Boxy is built based on Appkit, not Electron. App is 6 mb.
I've tried Boxy some time ago, version 1.2, and it was slow on a '15 MBP so I gave it up. I hope the new version feels snappier, and it would be good to evaluate it.
Is this a native Mac App or a web app wrapped?
I think it's just the inbox web app, but they customise it a lot
They described the technologies in this post.
The right arrow on the first slider ( the one with the Twitter feed ) disappears when you scroll too much. Maybe a dev will see this and fix it :D
Designer of Boxy here. This my fault, as I'm pretty good now with CSS but still pretty awful with JS. I assure you that Francesco Di Lorenzo, the developer of Boxy, will look into it. :D
This was fast!
