Now, I don’t know about you, but I have 15 years of Gmail history. I don’t think you can claim searching/looking at all that isn’t ‘core functionality’ for an email client.

I don’t begrudge you the need to charge something for it, but to claim the free version has full functionality is a bit misleading.

Exactly. I wasn't specific because I thought it was obvious. I need to search for old emails all the time. I'd hardly want to use shortwave sometimes, but flip to Gmail multiple times a day. I thought that limitation was by design to make sure 'free-tier' people didn't overwhelm your service.
