Update from the Maintainers

Nylas Mail was sunset in August and re-licensed under MIT. Nylas is no longer maintaining Nylas Mail. Instead, check out it's successors:

Unfortunately, we are no longer providing help support for Nylas Mail or N1. As a company, Nylas is focused on our API products to help other developers build email, calendar, and sync capabilities into their own applications.

While we no longer provide help support, N1 and Nylas Mail will continue working just as they do today – we are not turning them off any time in the forseeable future. If you have a subscription for N1 or Nylas Pro, those will continue to work. If you’re a developer, or you know some developers interested in email or Electron applications, we encourage forks of the Nylas Mail project. - Source

For everybody interested, there's a maintained fork.

So sad, it is only mail client in Ubuntu that provides me user experience like in Mac.

Does anyone know alternative of this project? Or, I'd better just keep using latest stable release..

bubuzzz commented 6 years ago

This is so sad. The app works great for me and have the decent look on both linux, mac

pugson commented 6 years ago

Yet they have the decency to charge money for snoozing emails in a dead app.

franzos commented 6 years ago

@dubstrike I've been a paying customer for a long time, recommended the app to a lot of people. It's a huge let-down that they don't even have the decency to properly announce the full-stop of development. I surely hope the community will pick-up the pieces and continue development.

Since there are quite a number of paying users, we may as well set-up a fund, to support future development, independent from Nylas. I'm certainly willing to chip-in.

bengotow commented 6 years ago

Hey folks! I'm one of the original authors of Nylas Mail (hey, I'm in the screenshot!)

I left Nylas back in December, but I'm also working on a fork of the app over at https://github.com/Foundry376/Mailspring. The first release isn't quite ready, but should be in a couple weeks. I'm bringing up infrastructure to continue to power the cloud features and re-writing the mail sync code (which I was never really satisfied with) in C++ using mailcore2, the same framework used by Airmail and Mailbox. Stay tuned!

Update: Mailspring is now available at https://getmailspring.com/. Enjoy!

Mr-Sloth commented 6 years ago

@bengotow Nice that you keep it up, but I realy dislike that you rewrite it in C++. The best part of nylas was that I can completly configure it by my own with js. So this is for me absolutly no alternative, just a new mail client.

corbinu commented 6 years ago

@bengotow Super excited that your keeping it up. I notice that the there is no issue track and the slack invite link does not work. How would I go about getting involved in helping you?

diegomachadosoares commented 6 years ago

@bengotow, it's really good that you're keeping it up. I'll try to contribute whenever possible. Two things for now. 1- Does your fork still store user credentials into you servers (that was a serious concern for me)? 2 - I couldn't see any issues area in the fork, will you open it?

corbinu commented 6 years ago

@diegomachadosoares Good point I would be much more comfortable with it storing credentials if the server is open source and I can deploy it myself

diegomachadosoares commented 6 years ago

@corbinu The server is actualy open source (see it here https://github.com/nylas/sync-engine), but from what I got by exchanging some emails with the Nylas team, this client stores your credentials into their servers anyway to enable features like snooze and etc... I believe that it should be at least easily configurable and at that time it wasn't (at least not without tinkering into the code)... therefore my question.

ceilican commented 6 years ago

Is this why snoozed messages stopped coming back to inbox?

Bergg commented 6 years ago

@ceilican hah I was wondering about that too..

Bergg commented 6 years ago

@moon6pence I'm increasingly using the new thunderbird which can be configured to look a bit like Nylas especially with its new themes http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/04/a-modern-thunderbird-theme-font but I miss features like snoozing and the way the aliases are handled. One bonus though it does have a spam filter.

goldsteal commented 6 years ago

How ironic. I only downloaded Nylas Mail today searching for a proper email client. Oh, well... 🗡 R.I.P. @bengotow : Good luck with the project will follow it closely. :)

AyoungDukie commented 6 years ago

Additionally, a group from the community is working on maintaining the existing Nylas codebase (seen here: https://github.com/nylas/nylas-mail/issues/3564

danielmelogpi I gave this a shot and forked the project to https://github.com/nylas-mail-lives/nylas-mail.

I still need to study it in my spare time and I imagine you guys are in the same boat. @mayurdw, @sotayamashita and @dweremeichik I sent you invites for membership. May be we can try to set this in motion!

Seems to be pretty active, though they are still distributing a dev version only at the moment.

mikeseese commented 6 years ago

I guess this issue still has some activity. I'm one of the developers at https://github.com/nylas-mail-lives/nylas-mail, and just like to say hi!

A couple of things people may have missed:

Edit: You can find the latest v2.2.1 build at https://github.com/nylas-mail-lives/nylas-mail/releases/latest; we're releasing v2.2.2 in the next week or so

Also feel free to checkout Mailspring. Ben Gotow (one of the cofounders of Nylas) has also made a fork. It has a closed-source C++/Obj-C sync engine, and some of the features are premium only.

vladshcherbin commented 6 years ago

Wow, such a great product simply died. A really sad story.

jrbgit commented 6 years ago

Thank you for posting this! I guess that explains the little bugs I've noticed creeping in.

franzos commented 6 years ago

For god's sake someone remove the issues or at least add a comment (as in template) to ensure that people stop posting new issues even though they are never going to get addressed. I can't believe how negligent Nylas is... then again, they abandoned this mail client after making people pay for it.

mikeseese commented 6 years ago

@franzos I'll reach out to my connection at Nylas to see if they can lock the Issues down somehow or leave a note in an issue template.
