What do you hate about email?
Hello everyone, We're redesigning email from the ground up. Giving it a whole new look. A breath of fresh air. Soooo... we'd love to know about your experience with email. Do you have any wishes or requests?
Appreciate your time! Have a nice rest of the day ;) The ability to encrypt messages that's easy enough that non tech professionals can use it - or even tech professionals. I'd like to be able to read mails simply by sorting them into filesystem folders and reading them like text files. The need to understand mbox and mdir and emix or whatever other formats are out there is annoying. I want to be able to read them with or without an app, and for different apps to read from the same data without reorganising it. Why should I have 3 different stores of the same emails on my laptop because I installed 3 different mail clients? If you're really coming up with a whole new system then clarify your terms - what's the different between an MTA or and MRU or an MDA… I remember physics lectures easier than this. I could go on all day. Good luck, I genuinely hope you manage it. Don't pull a google and make email dynamic. The stable nature of it when received is the best feature. I like email. It just works. Lean UI would be nice. Top functions one touch or click please. Awesome, great feedback!
Highly appreciated :) Looking to move off gmail. Conversation view and killer search also make great sense. If free, show me a nice add; otherwise, I am happy to buy. Bonus for long term, like 2 year service pricing advantages. Email is not a thing I want to think about much. Just works, just use Good luck, have fun! Thanks for the ideas! The pricing expectations are good to hear. We're planning on going with the freemium strategy, so there will be a version of an app for everyone.

Roman I like Thunderbird and Mutt. If your system can't handle and categorize IMAP folders of 50,000 messages and 500 new emails per day, don't bother on my account. Have good GPG support. Search is important. My cyrus imap server can find good search results in a couple of seconds out of 15 GB of email. You'd have to at least match that. Make sure I can send messages in plain text with formatting that is exactly how I wrote it or pasted it. But on the other hand, I do need to be able to read HTML email. I just won't write it. Great feedback, thank you!
Which OS do you use? Are most of those 500 emails promotional, or do you communicate via email a lot? Thanks in advance! I use Linux, Windows and Android. Mailing lists. Then probably promotional. Notifications from things like Facebook, LiveJournal, Patreon, various web forums, etc. Then probably status reports from various scripts. The least amount of email is from people I actually talk to. You’re not really redesigning email. You’re only designing a new email client. Good luck with your project, there have been many email clients over the years, so I’m not sure what you can improve that hasn’t already been tried. Gmail and Outlook, for example, are already very good at what they do. Our goal is to redesign email, not an email client.
I sounds far-fetched, but there's a lot about that can be improved. From the basic UX to the way we communicate and share media via email. It takes many iterations and a long process, but there is a lot of room for innovation in email. In a long run, it will be much much more powerful then Gmail or Outlook, those are almost the same experiences we had 40 years ago. > We're redesigning email from the ground up. Giving it a whole new look. A breath of fresh air. It already had been done [] Plz ignore the cockly language :D We believe email is extemely outdated, and all the current solutions out there aren't really making it any better.
We're taking a whole new approach and our only mission is to bring a whole new email experience that everyone can love. That's why I'm curious to know about your opinion, basically :)
