|Short description=The extensible, open source mail client
 
|Full description=Beautiful inside and out.
 
N1 is designed to be friendly, with an emphasis on clean typography, subtle drop shadows, and delightful buttons. When you use N1, things feel familiar with nothing out of place. It's just the way things should be.
 
 
All platforms and providers.
 
N1 is compatible with hundreds of email providers, including Gmail, Yahoo, iCloud, Microsoft Exchange, and more. It's a desktop app that can run offline, and feels great on Mac, Windows, and Linux. N1 is for everyone.
 
 
Developers welcome.
 
N1 is designed for extensibility, and includes a JavaScript plugin architecture that enables anyone to create powerful new features. Plugins can add buttons, sidebars, composer elements, or remix the entire UI. And if plugins aren't enough, the N1 codebase is also open source free software. Developers, start your engines.
 
 
What can you build on top of N1?
 
The N1 plugin system makes it easy to add new buttons, sidebars, and other functionality to the app. See the full example plugins list for some inspiration!
 
 
Is N1 open source?
 
Yes, N1 is open source free software, licensed under GPLv3. See the GitHub page for more details.
 
 
Why doesn’t this connect directly via IMAP & SMTP?
 
One of the key reasons we were able to develop this app quickly was that it uses the Nylas Platform APIs, powered by our open source sync engine. This moves the complexity of mailsync to the server infrastructure. N1 is compatible with the same providers as the Nylas Platform, including Gmail, Yahoo, iCloud, Microsoft Exchange, and hundreds of others.
 
 
Why is search sometimes slow?
 
Search is powered by the backend IMAP/ActiveSync search APIs. These are unfortunately sometimes slow. If N1 is able to auto-suggest a thread, you may be able to jump to it faster. We're working on better solutions here, too.
 
 
What is bundled in the N1 download, but not the GitHub repo?
 
There are some files in N1 that we can not redistribute under the a GPL license, including the app’s typeface and sounds. The compiled N1 binary includes these assets as well as a few packages for connecting to the hosted Nylas Platform.
 
 
How secure are plugins built on N1?
 
We recommend only installing plugins that have been created by developers you trust. N1 is an extremely flexible platform and does not currently contain access control levels on a plugin-by-plugin basis. (Want to help us work on it? Email jobs@nylas.com!)
 
 
Why is the download so big?
 
That’s Node (V8) and Electron (Chromium and all its dependencies) for you! Should this be a shared library? Yes we hope eventually!
 
 
How secure is your hosted API platform that powers N1?
 
We take security extremely seriously. See the Nylas Platform security page for more details: https://nylas.com/security
 
 
I don’t trust anyone with my email. Can I run N1 and the API server myself?
 
Yes! See the README for full instructions on setting up the sync engine, API, and N1 on your local machine. You can run everything locally and even develop plugins without using a single Nylas Platform service.
 
 
After a linked email account is removed, does Nylas keep the contents of all my synced emails in its database or backups?
 
After an account is unlinked, its data is queued for removal from our cloud infrastruture and will be deleted within 60 days. For accounts that require immediate deletion, please contact support@nylas.com.
 
 
How does Nylas make money?
 
Nylas is building a next-generation email platform, and makes money by providing infrastructure and services. You can see a few of our customers on the Use Cases page.
 
 
Note that Nylas is not an advertising company. We don’t sell user data or provide “personalized” ads, and we have no plans to do so.
 
 
How is a N1 plugin different from Gmail.js or other Chrome Extensions?
 
Some developers have been able to extend Gmail’s interface by creating Chrome Extensions that inject new DOM nodes. This has serious drawbacks, since it only works with Gmail, it only works with Chrome, and it requires constantly reverse-engineering the minified Gmail JavaScript code.
 
 
Plugins in N1 are built on fully-supported APIs that are end-to-end tested. It’s an actual development platform with libraries, tests, UI components, and more. Check out the docs for more details.
 
 
Who is the team behind this?
 
N1 is created by Nylas: a small team of engineers and designers based in San Francisco.
 
 
N1 is cool. Are you hiring?
 
Of course! :) See our jobs page or email hello@nylas.com.

mail-client (31)



Achoz
will offer search and tools to reduce your data, keep it clean, fast and easy. in alpha development stage.
Aerc
aerc is an email client for your terminal written in go. It was originally created by Drew DeVault and is now further developed as a fork by Robin Jarry. It features a tmux-style embedded terminal, an interactive terminal web browser, diff highlighting, an embedded less session, vim-style keybindings, and support for multiple accounts. It optionally supports notmuch. The client only downloads the information which is necessary to present the UI, making for a snappy and bandwidth-efficient experience. aerc supports IMAP, Maildir, SMTP, and sendmail transfer protocols. Asynchronous IMAP support ensures the UI never gets locked up by a flaky network, as mutt often does.
Alpine
Alpine is a screen-oriented message-handling tool. In its default configuration, Alpine offers an intentionally limited set of functions geared toward the novice user, but it also has a large list of optional "power-user" and personal-preference features. alpinef is a variant of Alpine that uses function keys rather than mnemonic single-letter commands. Alpine uses the c-client messaging API to access local and remote mail folders. This library provides a variety of low-level message-handling functions, including drivers for a variety of different mail file formats, as well as routines to access remote mail and news servers, using IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) and NNTP (Network News Transport Protocol). Outgoing mail is usually posted directly via SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol).
Astroid
Astroid is a lightweight and fast Mail User Agent that provides a graphical interface to searching, display and composing email, organized in thread and tags. Astorid uses the notmuch backend for blazingly fast searches through tons of email. Astroid searches, displays and compose emails - and rely on other programs for fetching, syncing and sending email. Check out Astroid in your general mail setup for a suggested complete mail solution. [1]
CacoCloud
A simple, fast and secure PHP/AngularJS based single user feed and mail reader, password and bookmark manager. CacoCloud is divided into a RESTful PHP backend storing all data into a SQLite database and an SPA frontend based on AngularJs.
Claws Mail
Claws Mail is an email client (and news reader) based on GTK+. The appearance and interface are designed to be familiar to new users coming from other popular email clients, as well as experienced users. Almost all commands are accessible with the keyboard. Plus, Claws-Mail is extensible via addons which can add many functionalities to the base client.
Delta Chat
Delta Chat is a project that aims to create a messaging app that is completely compatible to the existing email-infrastructure. So, with Delta Chat you get the ease of well-known messengers with the reach of email. Moreover, you’re independent from other companies or services - as your data are not related to Delta Chat, you won’t even add new dependencies here.
EMI eMailer
eMI eMailer is a simple cross-platform object-oriented SMTP client implemented in PHP. It is primarily intended to transfer MIME e-mail messages generated by PHP on the same host as the SMTP server of the sender.
Elm
Elm is an interactive screen-oriented mail reader that needed no documentation for the casual user, but was still powerful enough and sophisticated enough for a mail expert. It is superseeded by mutt, in the view of many people. The package name stands for Electronic Mail. It was one of the most common mail readers of its time.
Fdm (mail agent)
fdm (fetch/filter and deliver mail) is a program designed to fetch mail from POP3 or IMAP servers, or receive local mail from stdin, and deliver it in various ways depending on a user-supplied ruleset. Mail may be filtered based on whether it matches a regexp, its size or age, or the output of a shell command. It can be rewritten by an external process, dropped, left on the server or delivered into maildirs, mboxes, to a file or pipe, or any combination. fdm is designed to be lightweight but powerful, with a compact but clear configuration syntax. It is primarily designed for single-user uses but may also be configured to deliver mail in a multi-user setup. In this case, it uses privilege separation to minimize the amount of code running as the root user.
