        I like it, even though I am used to browser tabs now. Need to make a solarized dark theme, anyone good with that stuff 😉

                Same here now that I looked. I hadn't switched my theme yet. I might be rememboring just that there was dark in N1 and not solarize.

                    Likely.

                        No, but is a feature request

                          Would need more protocols for that.

                            MailSpring, previously known as Nylas N1, is one of hte most modern and "fancy" desktop email clients around and is available on nearly all Linux systems with DEB, RPM and Snap packages. Snaps are the official way to install MailSpring and are auto-updating so we will use that here.

                            First, Fedora does not install the Snap system by default, we will need to install that...

                            sudo dnf install snapd
                            

                            That will get us set up with the Snap package management system. SNaps are perfect for desktop apps. Now we just need to install MailSpring.

                            sudo snap install mailspring
                            

                            This will take a minute as it downloads. Once it finishes, MailSpring should appear in your menu.

                            I assume, that this happened because I did not previously have snap installed. I jsut installed snap and then installed mailspring one after the other.

                            [jbusch@lt-jared ~]$ sudo snap install mailspring

                              Maybe it detects it and looks for it. Interesting.

                                After reboot, it was there and ready.

                                    That is awfully annoying. Works for me, I only ever need three. But still.

                                    And $8/mo for an email client is true insanity. $1 maybe.

                                      Right. That cost is just stupid.

                                        Yeah, for that price you can get Office 365 and Outlook and still save several dollars. Not just a client, but the whole deal. It's just not in line with the real world.

                                          For reference to anyoen else wondering, here is the Office365 costs for home.

                                          So for $7/month I have not just Outlook, but also the entire Microsoft Office suite and OneDrive and Skype.

                                            Do they still store all of the email through their servers? I thought it was Nylas that did that.
