Heya, I'm the PM for Nylas. We have a Mac mail client called Nylas Mail that's totally free that we launched on HN a couple of months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13417616

Built on Electron and the code is open source: https://github.com/nylas/nylas-mail

Happy to answer questions about it if you have any -

(And, yes, we are working on getting Windows and Linux out - even though it's an Electron app, there's a lot of platform specific stuff we need to do so that it doesn't go all T Rex on your memory and CPU.)

Hi, had a couple of questions:

* Any plans to offer an app to purchase vs subscription model? I need support for Exchange and rules but can't justify the monthly price tag * Is the app downloading the messages directly or do you store them on your server? From your website, it implies the latter.

* No plan for a one-off purchase option at this time. * Nylas Pro (formerly N1) stores messages on the server; the new Nylas Mail downloads directly to the client.
