@_jacksmith here is the blog post with more information on pro features. I really hope that they develop an ios version as well. https://nylas.com/blog/nylas-pro
What does your roadmap look like for iOS? (Understand the hurdles with open source + modular ios apps)
I like the website design and had me at "open source". What's the pricing for pro features ??
1. Installed
2. Synced my test Gmail account
3. Sucked up my Mac's memory for just 3 emails in the inbox
4. Realized its just a Web Wrapper and not a native Mac client like Mail.app or Airmail.
5. Went back to my normal life.
Great client. I think that the proposed monthly fee for Pro is a little high, but the option to fork from GitHub and build it myself is going to be there as well, if I understood the recent post from Nylas correctly.
@frassmith i don't think the pricing looks too bad. If it was $7 a month (not needing you to pay annually), then I'd think that's pretty fair. Boomerang for gmail is $5/month. SaneBox alone is $7 a month.
@_jacksmith @frassmith Mailbird is 12$/year, they also have a promo for new users - 50% off. https://www.getmailbird.com #windows
@idered @frassmith tried mailbird before. hated it. I'm happy to pay for a core product that I use (not paying for Nylas yet, but pay for Boomerang and SaneBox)
This is awesome, exactly what I was looking for. I tried every new mail client out there and switched back within minutes of using, this one really stood out. Ill def. test it for a week on my work email and if I am just as productive ill start developing my own plugins. amazing work guys!
Mail merge + embedded Tracking = interesting. Switching mail client is such a commitment though...
@emmanuelbuah yea I've used that, canary, airmail beta, Nylas and wmail all have their pros but polymail doesn't do universal drafts and their syncing is not there yet. Still VERY buggy on first open and subsequent syncs. Also gestures are very buggy as well. But they would win in a heartbeat if they cleaned up those things and added a few features (default font, themes, and a few others I can't think of right now).
@arminrosu They open sourced their sync engine so you can host the data yourself https://github.com/nylas/sync-en...
@pfista Thanks for the link! That is nice, but I'm not going to run a server just to use a mail client. And I don't think a regular user would either.
Anybody else think the app is really slow? Takes forever to do anything it seems. I have a number of other emails clients I'm trying as well and don't experience this in any of those.
@jpequod Hey! I'm one of the N1 developers—It sounds like N1's sqlite database may have been corrupted. Try deleting `~/.nylas/edgehill.db`, and if that doesn't work, delete the whole folder. There have been a few other reports of the database becoming corrupt when the app crashes. We'll be addressing it in an update soon!
Excelent idea, open source, extensible and the sync-engine with API that enables to write new clients. Anyway, I tried it and still little buggy and inmature. Search queries all my 25GB of imap mail storage with full-text search when I want something so simple than quering by subject in my inbox. I tried running sync-engine but it didn't worked...
This is awesome. Is there a way to add your company logo to the signature section in preferences? Logo doesn't want to seem to paste in, but I'm probably missing something.
Downloaded, installed, played with it for ten minutes and made it the default client. This is an amazing mail app.
Installed on my Windows, it's rare for Windows users getting some love but thanks for your love :)
1- I deleted my test mail on gmail.
2- Sync is completed.
3- I saw deleted mail after I opened my gmail
Why didnt update gmail?
Great product. One bummer is that my chrome extensions are not showing up. I use Sidekick and GMass and those do not appear when I compose emails. Also the Snooze thing doesn't work.
Also, I would like to add: Pretty much everyone is going to click on your features tab. Perhaps you should just have that on the landing page so there is no need to click. When I landed I was like "ok? what do you do" and I had to go to the features tab to understand the value prop.
I really love the your animation on the landing page. And your hidden easter eggs lol.
i totally understand to move to a subscription model if the maintenance of the Nylas Cloud is coupled with running costs. my question is: why is the Nylas Cloud necessary? Pretty much all desktop mail solutions don't have this problem.
i was very excited about nylas for its customization capabilities and its open source-ness. both are seemingly here to stay but now they come coupled with my least favorite money-making-model: a subscription. i like to stay off subscriptions and contracts as much as i can. until now i wasn't even expecting mail clients to enter this territory, so as of right now i'm not liking this move.
