Any feedback is very much appreciated. A lot of people I've shown it to doesn't like the design and think it is too 2005-ish. I have to admit, I'm a developer first and designer... second...

I don't have any feedback (not big on email myself), but i just came to sympathize with your design woes. It's just so difficult, imo.

From the people I've talked to regarding the design it seems to be a divided camp between making the design more like Premier Pro: https://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/files/2016/04/6-PR-Sec...

or more like this: https://dribbble.com/shots/1334369-Mochila-Mail-manufactured

What do you think?

Take a massive dose of salt with my comment, as i am not a designer.

Personally, i think the mochila design looks better, but i really like dark designs (easy on the eyes), so the Premier is nice on that front.

No worries, I think it's a matter of taste and I will try to find a good design that will look more modern either going in the mochila or premier pro direction.

So, been sketching on the new design, what do you think about this: http://ivelope.com/img/newdesign.png ?

If you want to attract the majority of users, you need to have at least some aesthetic in your product. Try to research Polymail and Nylas N1.

Yes, the design is what people complain about a lot, new design on the way I'm gonna try to release it with the new design next week

Literally came to say this. Looks really old.

And the fade-ins on the website itself it kind annoying.

Yes, a lot of people don't like the design, so the design is something that I'm going to start working on changing asap. Going to talk to my designer friends. Do you have an example of a GUI that you think would be fitting for this kind of webapp? Something similar to PolyMail?

Polymail looks nice and modern, but it looks like any other client for a multitude of apps. 100% preferred over something old looking though.

Thanks for the comment! I will try to come up with a good design for next week!

I think the current design fine. I mainly work on the desktop and want to gather much things to process. Waiting in the line to try this out.

Thank you for comment!
