Looks great! But, here is the problem.

Medium to large companies, they need some sort of calendaring and meeting room booking system. This is where outlook (more importantly exchange) comes into the picture. I don't think it's the best solution out there, but it's a solution that works reasonably well.

I also don't really like that email and calendaring are tied together, I'd love to see a robust solution that works across Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS. Yishan Wong wrote about this a few years ago.[1]

So, this would work great for personal email and small companies, but I don't see it replacing the email client of the larger ones. I'd love to see gmail and microsoft give some of these search/indexing features.

Yes, Outlook is great for time planning .. if all of your team uses it. However, most people that send me emails use GMail or other web mailers and thus Exchange is not really a benefit in that regard.

Before i started my work on this client, i used Outlook 2011 and i'm still paying for hosted Exchange so yes, i think they are both reasonably designed products.

It's just that Outlook doesn't suit my workflow of dealing with email. And it can be pretty slow at times. And it sometimes doesn't sync well after offline mode.

Roundcube and Zimbra are efforts toward this.
