oh yes very good. I will test it

I stumbled across a mail client called Edison last night. It’s really well written with a great design, has a unified mailbox, and is extremely quick. I’ve installed this on my Android device, and there’s also a version for Windows.
It’s completely free, and I’d strongly encourage you to give it a try
It also has several AI enabled components by default and goes well beyond the free barrier. There is also a “plus” offering which is paid for, but that does not impose any restrictions on the app’s functionality.
@phenomlab Very nice, I will have to check that out as well

@phenomlab looks smart! Would this work with my Proton email accounts?

I wonder if they are going to make a linux version of this?

@JAC i expect so, but haven’t tried myself.

@Madchatthew I wondered the same. The windows version, although great does seem to lack some functionality in comparison to the mobile client.
Clearly it’s developed as mobile first, and that makes sense. I think the windows version is still evolving and will improve over time, but it’s already extremely capable in its current format.
There’s a mac version so perhaps a Linux client is on the horizon.

I’m curious too know if anyone else has tried the Edison Mail client on their phone? I’ve been using it for about a week now and absolutely love it.

@phenomlab In this day and age, it seems if you aren’t using the mobile first model, then you are already behind the game. Especially now that pretty much everyone has a handheld computer in their back pocket these days. Even for apps that are meant to be used soley on a desktop. You know that at some point in the future people are going to want to use it on a mobile device, so having to go back and redo some or all of that layout takes a lot of time.

This has always been my thought, that all these apps that are made for Mac should be able to be just as easily made for linux. We maybe easily is stretching it, but not as hard maybe is a better way of putting it. It seems like now days, linux is picking up more in popularity, especially with all the computers out there that won’t be able to run windows 11 but are still good fast computers. Microsoft is so dumb. Well maybe smart dumb.

Why not - given that MAC is basically Linux in a very expensive suit - based on OpenBSD.

@phenomlab yes exactly! How hard would it be for them to push out a linux version of their app. Even if you had to build it from source and install it.

@Madchatthew I’m guessing it would be even simpler to create a PWA, although having said that, you’d lose the client functionality altogether making it almost useless!

@phenomlab Yeah that is true. But one of the nice things about having it on a mobile device is to also have the full functionality of the software. It is crazy how far smartphones have come over the years. With mobile apps, I could almost do my job from my phone. The only thing that would keep me from doing that would be that I would have to carry around a monitor and keyboard/mouse and one or two other devices in order to use dex. Plus there are some other apps that may not work on it that the hospital uses. Otherwise I could easily just use my phone for work.

@Madchatthew I’m in the same boat. We live in a mobile-first world these days, and any software vendor not rapidly adopting that mantra is going to find themselves out of business.

@DownPW Isn’t this more of an email server in it’s own right rather than an email client?
