This is really cool! Are you building both the mail provider layer and the UI? (Not clear from the description.) Are you running your own mail relays?

I've actually been working on a new email platform with some friends for the past few months. Our stuff sits on top of IMAP, so you can use it with existing accounts like Gmail or Yahoo!, and the UI is super hackable AngularJS. It's kind of like Rails/Meteor for email.

We're going to open source it in January/February, but looking for folks to try it early while we're still writing docs. (Including OP!) Feel free to ping me-- we're also going to ship it as a docker container so it's super easy to deploy on whatever provider.

Sorry if I'm hijacking this thread! I just figured some folks here might be interested. :)

Death to IMAP!

Yes, we run the mail and api servers ourselves.
