shhsshs: I would love one of these for Google Chat. It feels like it's been getting slower and slower these past few years.
rep_lodsb: Dedicated mail clients have existed for a lot longer than GMail has, work with any service using the POP3 or IMAP protocol, and don't run inside a web browser.
sixtyj: You can use thunderbird or any other desktop mail software for connecting to gmail.And then just use gmail as smtp for outgoing mails and imap or pop3 for incoming mails.
kevin_thibedeau: In a better world we'd still be using a common protocol to interact with mail submission/delivery agents.
ambicapter: Email is not a common protocol?
tiberious726: Random web apps are not. Imap pop and smtp don't sanely support mfa, so the insurance industry is slowly killing them off
cadamsdotcom: If you’re in a position of considering alternatives, I find Fastmail to be fully featured, support saving the key stuff offline, and most importantly FAST!No ”try our AI for free!” nudges or “smart features” that you need to go through and decide whether to disable.. which is a feature these days.
Virgo_matt: appreciate the suggestion, but I like my gmail account! I just want a fast, stripped down interface. and BAREmail is free, doesn't need a backend, and open source. looks like Fastmail is paid only?
