If you're a desktop email aficionado, I'd love to hear your feedback on N1. It's kind of similar to Mailbox desktop, but works cross-platform and is open source. https://nylas.com/n1

I tried it with a single account, the UI is nice but I kind of prefer a more dense UI for email. I'm probably just really used to Airmail's UI, it's similar to what Sparrow used to be and I felt that was approaching perfection at the time.

Also the memory footprint was a little large but that's understandable since it's built on Chrome/Node. Web browsers and development related processes (mostly Ruby) are my top memory consumers right now, I'd rather not have my email client join their ranks.


Does it have a "snooze email" feature, though? The page suggests it doesn't, and that's (IMO) the important part of Mailbox, not just the general interface of it.


I asked this a while back when it came out, sounds like it doesn't.

Update: It looks like they have a public Trello board for voting on features. Go vote for snoozed emails!

Is the email stored on your servers ? Do we get contacts and calendars inside the app as well ? If yes, on which email providers/account types ? Why isn't this info on the website ? Thanks.


If you look on this page it talks about the mail being hosted on their servers: https://nylas.com/N1/faq
