- Dedicated mail clients have existed for a lot longer than GMail has, work with any service using the POP3 or IMAP protocol, and don't run inside a web browser.
- I don't get it, why not use _any_ client with IMAP instead?

- I really want a fast multi-email client that can easily show full contact history in a sidebar. Any options out there? Em Client does this, but it is buggy and/or slow. No such Thunderbird plugins exist, either.
- I made a version of this also bare gmail API -- not that I can't use imap but I often have emails related to tasks I want to keep open. But if I have many GMail tabs open, it kills my ram.
I also habitually want to open a new GMail tab to check for new email, but waiting for the heavy webapp to load takes forever. So a simple client-side only app which calls the gmail api for the top 20 emails and allows to search (so find the email and then leave that tab open) works great

- You can't just configure mutt (or alpine, et al.) to use Gmail?

- If you’re in a position of considering alternatives, I find Fastmail to be fully featured, support saving the key stuff offline, and most importantly FAST!
No ”try our AI for free!” nudges or “smart features” that you need to go through and decide whether to disable.. which is a feature these days.

- This is the kind of app idea that immediately makes sense if you’ve ever had to do email on trash internet. Optimizing for bad Wi-Fi is way more useful than chasing another layer of polish.
- You can use thunderbird or any other desktop mail software for connecting to gmail.
And then just use gmail as smtp for outgoing mails and imap or pop3 for incoming mails.
- I would love one of these for Google Chat. It feels like it's been getting slower and slower these past few years.

- In a better world we'd still be using a common protocol to interact with mail submission/delivery agents.
- Fantastic lite weight client. Perfect for travel and spotty reception/ low bandwidth. Cool interface too.
- Lovely app and it’s a shame that Google hasn’t created a better solution for oauth CLI apps.
