I does indeed look good (to me) and they have hired a designer that I greatly respect to work on it (https://dribbble.com/sdw) but it's an Electron app (goodbye memory) and requires you to hand over your email account details to Nylas: https://support.nylas.com/hc/en-us/articles/217518207-Why-do...

Hey-- I work at Nylas.

We're transitioning away from cloud sync for almost all functionality. More info here: https://blog.nylas.com/nylas-mail-is-now-free-8350d6a1044d

It would be nice if the client was usable without having to register with you guys. Is that something you're looking into?

PS. SSL Labs gives your site an F grade due to CVE-2016-2107.

Looking into both-- thanks for the heads up.

Edit: Fixed now. We should have an "A+" rating. :)

Cool, thanks for the tip! Will definitely check it out. It's going to be interesting to see how it responds to https://www.emailprivacytester.com
