I think it must be doing some sort of on-the-fly unpacking or setup? I’ll look into that tray icon issue-we definitely need that resolved. (Would actually be curious to know what the plan is for that…) I’ve also noticed that the app is suuuper slow to launch, especially the first time it’s run. We’ll probably need to add a post-installation note about any libraries you need to have installed for them to / - I think the system theme is something they’re working on in snapd. The app.asar file essentially “links” out to them in the unpacked - I’ll look into the desktop notifications. asar file because they need to be accessible to the external filesystem. The directory contains files we can’t include in the.


Hey folks! Thanks for the feedback - this is really - yep, both of those are required. It just syncs snooze dates and other metadata using the Mailspring ID, since those features can’t be built on IMAP alone. Note that in order to use Mailspring you’ll need to create a “Mailspring ID”, but the app doesn’t send your email passwords or credentials to the cloud-all email sync is done locally on your computer. I’m really excited to be moving to snapcraft because it means Linux folks are finally getting autoupdate alongside our Mac and Windows users. We’ll be directing folks to the snap release instead of the dep / rpm packages in the next update cycle providing everything goes well.
NYLAS MAIL NOT LOADING INSTALL
If anyone has some spare cycles and is interested in trying a new mail client (or already using Mailspring!) grab the snap and give it a spin via snap install mailspring! If you run into any issues, please post them here. Over the last few weeks we’ve been putting together a snap release and working through a few configuration and sandboxing issues (couldn’t make ourselves the default client anymore, etc.) Now that snapd 2.29.3 is out, the last known issue has been fixed! Hey folks! I’m the lead maintainer of the Mailspring email client (formerly Nylas Mail).
