Congrats on the launch folks 🎉

I’ve used Mimestream as my only desktop client since September 2020 and I’ve been impressed with the quality of your work and rigorous approach running this beta for such a long period. Your app feels like one of those “good apps” that were so common back on the Mac OS X Tiger days. Apps where everything feels native but also pushes the envelope here and there to make it a really delightful experience. Mimestream hits that sweet spot 100%.

I’ve just subscribed and I only hope you make enough money with this to justify the development of an iOS client so I can get rid of the Gmail app on my iPhone and stop remembering the good old Mailbox days.

Congrats again and thanks for creating this little productivity jewel 🙏

Is good... very good. Im not using anymore because the subscription model. If they offer a one time purchase, or a model that offers a one year of updates (without loose the access) like a lot of apps do, i think i return to Mimestream.

Great product, but out of beta they are charging subscription, and I prefer to pay once for my software.

Congrats on the release, it's a very impressive piece of software. I've been using the beta on and off or a while and it's clearly very stable, fast and polished.

However, I was very disapppointed by the decision to have only a subscription model for an email client, which my local currency exchange rate makes even worse.

I miss the times when I could simply save up and purchase some software. Nowadays everyone wants $5 or more a month, which is unfeasible.

Been using the beta for over a year and never had an issue, so had to support the development. I realise scheduled messaging isn't available via the Gmail API, but I'd love to have support for this (via a mimestream server I guess).

Pros

Congrats on launch! This is the best mail client I've ever used. Wish, I could continue to use it with generic IMAP (no longer utilize Gmail service). Hopefully, soon!

Cons

Congrats on the launch @neil_jhaveri. I'm an active user of Mimestream and love the deep integration the platform allows between Gmail and Mac OS, offering great sync speed. Gmail Categories is a must for me and Mimestream handles that pretty well. Looking forward to future deployments.

Mimestream is an outstanding email app that I highly recommend. Since I started using it, I have had no problems or issues. It is easy to set up and allows me to consolidate all of my Gmail accounts in one place. The user interface is intuitive and customizable, making it a pleasure to use. With Mimestream, I can easily manage my emails and keep everything organized. It has been a great experience overall, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient email client.

Great alternative to the native Mac "Mail"-App for users of Gmail with native integration, that doesn't mess up your folders, tags, or aliases.

I see benefits right now that it is free to use in beta, but I'm unsure if I will continue to use it, should they make it a subscription model, rather than a one-time purchase.

+ native macOS integration (5)+ Gmail integration (7)
