How does this client compare to the leading open source email client, Thunderbird? Can this client reply to emails with a custom From address, as catch-all domain users need? Can this client infer which custom From address to use from the mail being replied to?

This only works with gmail, with outlook coming soon.

So it is not comparable at all.

Thunderbird is an email client, this is an interface to proprietary email services.

I see, thank you.

Sadly it does not support either.

we're currently looking towards gmail(current) => outlook => protocol layer for now. However, will definitely keep note of it.

Took a shot at this here: https://github.com/curdinc/skylar-email/issues/61. I'd be glad to elaborate more as needed.

I'd love to know about your thunderbird experience.
