What a bad name for a webmail client

That's a blunt way of saying it, but I agree with the sentiment.

Which is a shame, because this is a project that could have had potential, but a poor name goes a long way towards discouraging it being taken seriously.

Have we learned nothing from GIMP? No, no we have not.
Git?
Well you're saying that from not just an Anglo centric pov but a US pov. 'Cockly' doesn't sound particularly bad to my British ears.

But then I live not so far from Penistone, so maybe I'm just used to these kind of naming schemes.
