What is Reddit's opinion of Mailspring?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Mailspring is a good one. https://getmailspring.com.

You could also try setting up your email using evolution, and then those emails will appear on the elementary OS mail app. Then you can use the default mail app as your daily driver.

I use Claws Mail because it gives me what I need. For example, the support of Bogofilter. I don't really care what the program looks like. It has to work.

A modern email client (in terms of looks) should be BlueMail or Mailspring.

I use Geary .

But, if you are concerned only for aesthetics, or theming, I'd suggest to wait until Thunderbird's new version is uploaded, since you've already had it installed. The reason is that in the latest version there was a redesign, re-theming, in accordance with Firefox Quantum.

Alternatively, if you want something like Apple's Mail, check this Mailspring , also provided as a snap.

Mailspring. It also has a Subscription, but by itself is less restricted. You can have multiple accounts for free.

Pro Tip: it's better to run it with Debug Flags so you won't have problems with syncing. They haven't got a big team, so.

Take a look at Mailspring.

I use it daily and really enjoy it.

Super simple, Send later, reminder, to - cc - bcc support, snoozing, folders, multiple accounts, touch and gesture support, shortcuts, really good search options, unified inbox, read receipts, link tracking, different themes so it fits your DE, multiple signatures, signature generator, built in translation and spell checker and quick reply.

I endup using mailspring (super slow electron mail client) but at least it has a tray icon that let's me know when mail arrive. Couldn't find another email client that has that little feature that I loved in outlook.

What's a good web-based alternative to it? GMail has a really good flow, when you set up keybindings / learn the default ones, it feels quite a bit like vim.

Gmail has a good, clean UI, allows detailed + fast searching, useful label system, good threading of conversations. To me, these (combined with the keybindings) make me relatively productive (relatively, because I still hate doing email).

IMHO, Protonmail doesn't match that. Haven't tried Tutanova in detail yet.

It looks like MailSpring (the replacement/fork of Nylas N1) could maybe be a good replacement, if I had a reliable server to run it on.

Mailspring is a good choice. It's open source and it's a UI/UX is doesn't leave as much to be desired as some other option (Thunderbird).

>Mailspring takes the privacy of your data seriously. When you connect email accounts to the app, your email credentials are stored securely in your system keychain. Mailspring does not transmit, store or process your mail in the cloud.

Here's the deets for the paid version

Youtube Review

The free tier was enough for me but the paid version does have alot of cool features.

I really like using Mailspring when I need to do some heavy email stuff. It’s mostly the clean design and usability that sets it apart from the rest. A lot of mail apps feel very bloated to me. Most of the time I use the Google web interface or my phone but I spin up Mailspring pretty regularly if I need to get through a bunch of emails or have to switch back and forth between mailboxes quickly.

Hey, just to let you know I've started using Mailspring.

https://getmailspring.com/

Here's the Github page:

https://github.com/Foundry376/Mailspring

It's an email client. It's available for Windows, Linux and Mac. I find it much more aesthetic than Thunderbird.

I have yet to find one. I really wanted and wished it was more aggressive with its development but I have yet to find a mail app that beats mailspring spring. It is open source as well. On snap, flatpak, AUR and available from many repos.

u/BlutigEisbar question for you regarding your POP/IMAP comment...

Forgive me, I've been using my bellsouth.net email address for many years and never looked into or thought of the need to change the POP access because it simply worked (and still does).

Following your comment/suggestion, I looked on the internet and it appears that I am able to use IMAP rather than POP for my accounts (POP was the only access originally and, like I said, it just "worked" over many many years).

My question...if I convert from POP to IMAP, do I lose the emails associated with my account and POP access that I have downloaded to my computer?

Thanks for your help!!

MailSpring

Get the deb file and try installing it.
If it throws gvfs dependency error. Follow these Steps:

​

1. Install these libraries

sudo apt install libsecret-1-dev gconf2 python2 python-is-python2 -y

1. Install the deb,

sudo dpkg --ignore-depends=gvfs-bin -i mailspring*.deb

I think you'll need something that supports Exchange ActiveSync so I'm pretty sure that eliminates Thunderbird. You could install Outlook web app as a Progressive Web app if you use Edge or Chrome (Click + button) to install it as a PWA app. Doing a little bit of Googling, you may want to check out Mailspring. That looks like it supposed O365 and looks pretty nice: https://getmailspring.com

Thunderbird (has a lot of useful features: chat, contact management, smart folders, search, filters, and more) and Mailspring (using a multi-window interface, concise and uncluttered) are open source email clients.

Actually, I still like Mailbird, but I'm not sure if there is an open source.

My friends recommend Thunderbird and Mailspring too.

Mozilla is one of the top defenders of online privacy and security, which is why Thunderbird is a safe and open email tool.

Mailspring is a relatively recent email client that supports three key operating systems at once, including Windows and macOS. Supports all popular mail systems (Gmail, Exchange, iCloud, Yandex, and so on).

I'm using Mailbird, hopefully, they'll make a Linux version soon.

I have never worked with the K9. I prefer Gmail and email clients that integrate different mailboxes like Mailbird, Mailspring, Thunderbird.

For email I used to use Mailspring. It has a dark theme and even supports custom CSS if I remember correctly. I stopped using it because I just use a web browser for email.

You'll likely have to relay off of Comcast's mail server. https://getmailspring.com/setup/access-comcast-net-via-imap-smtp

Just configure that as an upstream mail server and it "should" get there.

Default Mail is Ok, lacks many features though.

Mailspring is what I've used for a while; also available on Linux: https://getmailspring.com/

Spark is also nice.

Airmail 4 (was 3), just updated today or yesterday. This is the most customizable client for OSX that I've found but it's paid (not sure if it's worth it honestly).

>I've been trying to compile Nylas Mail Lives on Fedora for a few days now,

Bad idea.

> Not Maintained & no longer secure: The current maintainers of this repo no longer have the ability to devote their time to maintaining this project. There are currently multiple vulnerable dependencies and it is highly recommended that you take a look at Mailspring. Mailspring is the spiritual successor of Nylas Mail, and is maintained by the original creator. You will find that Mailspring is very similar, and much more secure than Nylas Mail Lives. This project is now in Archive Mode.

Maybe the named Mailspring in the quote is a suitable replacement for you. I myself have no experience with this.

I think Mailspring is as close as you can get to Gmail interface design.

But personally, I will never ever touch it for two reasons:

1. You need to create an account to use it.

2. I'm not convinced by their privacy policy.

It's opensource though. So if you know how to code, then you're probably gonna be able to modify the code and remove the account requirement part.

I have been using Mailspring for 3 years and it's just perfect on elementary, also with a dark theme out of the box. It lets you track your sent mail too and check if your mail has been read or any link in your mail clicked. Here's the webpage https://getmailspring.com/

If you have multiple mailboxes, I recommend getting Mailspring. It has that functionality and more. And it keeps you from having to manually log into separate web mail clients.

Yeah, the only integrated clients that are worth using are Evolution and Thunderbird, and though I've used them both extensively and they both have many things to like, they have things that drive me crazy too.

Using Geary or Mailspring (or even Claws, when it comes to calendaring) require that you use multiple apps to accomplish PIM features. Gnome Calendar and Gnome Contacts work decently enough in a GTK ecosystem. On the QT side, things are a bit more bleak, at least until Kube comes to fruition.

Mailspring is a Nylas N! derivative: https://getmailspring.com/

You should try Mailspring! It's a successor to Nylas Mail with the sync engine completely rebuilt in C++. Does all the email sync locally and doesn't send your passwords to the cloud. Also has some cool modern features like snoozing, and you can theme the whole thing with CSS.

(Full disclosure—I'm a maintainer of the Mailspring open-source project!)

Haha yeah that bug was awful... I'm actually the author of a Nylas Mail fork called Mailspring that replaces the C++ sync engine with one built on mailcore2. You should try it and let me know if it's faster for you! It uses about half as much RAM. https://getmailspring.com/

Nylas Mail has been sunset by Nylas, but I'm working on a fork called Mailspring that doesn't send your mail credentials to the cloud: https://getmailspring.com/

I also ripped out all the Electron+JS mail syncing code and replaced it with a C++ sync engine built on mailcore2. Much snappier now!
