Overview

A material design version of gmail web app using Polymer. This project is using Polymer 1.0.

Note: This project originally uses Polymer 0.5. The migration work has been done to make all the supported features listed below working as expected. I haven't look though to check all the codes if they are valid Polymer 1.0 code. You might see some Polymer 0.5 codes somewhere, as of Sep 3rd 2015.

Note: This web is still work in progress. Not all of the gmail features have been implemented. Since the app is using Google's Gmail Rest API, only features that are supported by Gmail REST API will be implemented in the future.

Features Supported now

Default to show Today's emails
Show emails list load load more emails when click on the "MORE ..." button.
Search emails is working. It is working as the same as email searching except it excludes chats, which in the behind, it always append !is:chats to the end of search terms.
Refresh Button is working.
Email content is shown up. (Pure text, html based). Email view is showing all messages in the time order. It is using a reverse order of current Gmail Client. This means the latest email comes first.
In the email view, archive, delete, move to folder buttons work as expected.
Compose email is working. You could write simple text based email by clicking "+" button on the right bottom.

Browsers

Please use Chrome for this web app. Polymer is working in FireFox and Safari, but layout and UI is a little weird. Haven't done any test on IE.

Demo

The stable version is hosted in Google's App Engine.

Sometimes it keeps refreshing for the first time. In this case, copy the url and paste it in a new tab will work. The first time you access the app, you will need to sign in with your Google account. Actually, this is just to gain authorization from you to get emails and write emails as behalf of you.
