this is my daily driver, and I want to keep maintaining it for the foreseeable future, I agree there are lot's of apps that end up dying. But that's not the case for Penguin Mail. And to clarify, I have used AI to develop parts of Penguin Mail, but I've also contributed a lot of code, I've been a developer for the last 30+ years and I think AI is a tool to increase productivity, embrace it :)

JMAP will be available in the next versions, currently working on a few of the backlog items and that's one of them

Thank you for those ideas, very good feedback and definitely something I'll add to the backlog
Fastmail is not something I use as default, so I had to check a lot of documentation, and some of the Fastmail features are probably missing, I'll have some of these on the coming versions

I need to update that intro, that's how the app started, it's very different now.
I use Penguin as my daily driver, and I made it exactly because of what I was missing on other mail clients, but idea after idea brought me here to share it with everyone, my intentions are to continue development and not keep it stale or let it die, there are loads of things i want to add but I also don't want to lose any stability, a nice balance is what I'm looking for

I use AI to aid with development, yes, thanks to this it has boosted my productivity by a lot, but to say it's completely vibecoded, not quite. but thank you :)

would love to get your feedback, how is it running? FreeBSD is not something I tried, but would love to know if you're having issues

the instructions are for the task I assign to Claude, most of the times it was stopping for feedback, I prefer to check in the end rather than spoon feeding it

Has AI functionality available if you enable it, but doesn't come bundled with anything, you connect your local LLM or Claude if you have to, you can also use OpenRouter or whatever you want, go cloud or go local, up to you (if you're interested in AI), otherwise, disable it

With AI is just, you can connect a local model, it has the ability but doesn't come bundled with nor it will be in future
