Ask HN: Email client alternative to Nylas N1?

4 points·sreenadh··6 comments

I am currently using Nylas N1 and I did see some alternatives last month. I decided to try them after I was done trying out N1. Well, now I cannot find the links and I think my browser messed with my bookmarks ;). So, kindly list the alternatives any of you are aware of. I did check all the links on http://alternativeto.net/software/n1/, but no good.

If you have feedback about N1, I'd love to hear it! :) You can post here or always email me directly. (I'm the founder/CEO.)

Hi! I'm looking for alternatives too, mainly for two issues:

1) I can't insert inline images 2) My emails are not being marked as read in server, so it's a mess when I go to my iPhone...

Try Canary Mail http://canarymail.io/, snappy and beautiful. And its slack channel is quite robust (not like Nylas, please forgive me) although there only two people in its development team.

How do you think we could improve the Slack room? We currently have 2253 people there, so it's usually quite busy. It's free to join here: http://slack-invite.nylas.com/

(The mark-as-read issue has been fixed and we're working on shipping support for sending with inline images. Gmail didn't have this for about the first 6 years.)

I tried polymail(no imap support for months), Airmail (no link tracking or read tracking,oddly slows my mac,lot of small bugs, UI felt sluggish), apple mail(haha - next one), outlook (too skeumorphic on mac + too heavy + no swipe gestures)

Went back to N1 now - so i guess i am not much help. Sorry mate.

I use Polymail and love it so far. It's fast, has a great UI and syncs very instantly. https://polymail.io/
