  I was 100% interested until crossing "...with AI".

  Does anyone remember Sparrow?<p>I like the idea of a native Linux email client. The UI looks pretty good too. It&#x27;s really not hard to beat thunderbird.<p>Calling it version 1.0 is bullshit though. It&#x27;s only about a month old: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;c9dev&#x2F;penguin-mail&#x2F;graphs&#x2F;contributors?all=1" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;c9dev&#x2F;penguin-mail&#x2F;graphs&#x2F;contributors?al...</a><p>A project with the complexity of an email client cannot be considered stable in a month. There are bugs that will only show up after a year. It has a calendar after all.

    1. Being released on GitHub for a month does not mean it’s a month old.<p>2. Seems odd to assume instability by default without evidence.

      Have you ever experienced stable-by-default?<p>If so, I&#x27;d love to hear a writeup!

        Well, I&#x27;m trying it out and it seems stable.<p>It&#x27;s missing some features that are dealbreakers for me, but I haven&#x27;t found anything unstable yet.

  This is interesting, I am doing an experimental effort with similar goals. What is your approach to testing? The bug surface of something like this is quite large. Also, do you have a plan for sandboxing?

  Surprised to see a new (large) GTK app, especially in Rust.<p>Can this be compiled for other operating systems than Linux?
