Thanks!

Fair - it's Gmail-only today. We've thought about generic IMAP, but it seems to have some technical gaps for how our email surface works. For instance, there's no reliable cross-provider way to pre-create drafts on a thread. So we haven't prioritized it just yet. We do plan to add Outlook support soon.

Thanks for the straight answer, sadly I use neither of those providers. As a suggestion: maybe you could add an option to just disable e-mail integration, for users like me? Right now I'll be getting, "finalize your app setup" vibes... forever.

Again, great app - all the best for the future!

That's totally fair. We will try to add a way to disable email if you don't want to connect. Appreciate the kind words!

85%* of small to midsize biz in United States are on Microsoft's office platform, not Google Workspace and Gmail.

starting with indies and SV startups and education is less risky, but the real market outside startup culture is often overlooked by those who came up inside that culture

generic IMAP is not worth the time, first class integration with M365 is worth the time

OIDC flavor "Continue with Microsoft" should be right there beside Continue with Google / Github / Whatever, on every SaaS that wants business clients small enough to make "sign up online" decisions. By contrast, for consumer, Continue with Apple would be the equivalently overlooked OIDC option if you are targeting "wallet share" (a revenue model) instead of headcount (an ad model, for instance).

* Didn't look this up. Used to be. Doesn't matter if 50% or 90%, it's substantial, and point stands: don't overlook it.

Makes a ton of sense, and the framing is correct - it's easy to build for the ecosystem you live in. We plan to add M365 (Outlook) soon. And noted on "Continue with Microsoft" at sign-in.

What I would find lovely is to connect my already existing Thunderbird profile that exists locally. I have 5 email accounts connected and there is no real need to sync them twice on the same machine.

That is a neat idea. We could tap into the locally-synced Thunderbird files for the knowledge graph, which would make ingestion straightforward. We could explore this. The write side - pre-creating drafts on threads, sending etc. still needs the provider work that made us defer IMAP for all email handling.
